Custom Branding Iron, Personalized Burning Stamp Logo Design for Wood Leather Plastics Branding Iron Handcrafted Design

This branding iron worked great! Now I will say, as does in the description, that it does get very very hot. We use this for woodworking projects to stamp our company name on them. And you can smell the wood burning and see the smoke, but it does its job of what it is intended to do! Very happy with this purchase. It is also helpful to have the on off switch. Have had other branding irons that were just plug ins only.

Gets hot enough to burn a good solid logo. I bought this for my son-in-law‘s business. I purchased the logo from a different company, but was glad to see this iron works very well and heats consistently.

I followed the instructions. Plugged it in, and after a few minutes, there was smoke coming out of the unit! The video of the smoke is 2 minutes after I unplugged it. It's very scary, I'm not even trying to use it, returning it.

The FIRST thing you should know about this product is that there is NO WAY TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE. This means that if you leave it plugged into an outlet, it will literally heat itself to death. You will end up with a completely meltdown iron and maybe a fire on your hands. Since it just gets hotter and hotter, it's impossible to have a consistent temperature with this thing - unless you buy a transformer (I highly recommend this). This drastically increases its ease of use. In order to achieve temperature consistency, you *must* purchase a transformer with this item. How it works: 1. The iron gets plugged into the transformer. 2. The transformer has a dial that lets you control how much voltage the iron receives (by controlling the voltage, you're controlling how hot the iron it able to get) 3. Tada! You now have an iron with consistent temperature instead of an inevitable fire hazard. I bought my transformer on Amazon (paste this into the search bar: Auto Voltage Transformer AC Variable Voltage Converter Transformer 110VAC Input, 0-130VAC (500W)) It only cost around $50 and it is well worth it! Using this little transformer/iron system, I am able to use this iron on a daily basis, branding 75-100 items each day. The iron does eventually burn out after repeated use after several months so you may end up having to replace it. It really isn't great quality but for $60, it's cheaper than some alternatives out there.

Takes long time to get it right tough making clear imprint

Excellent quality. Used it for branding 25 cutting boards, and it did a great job!

I had been gifted the low tech heat it somewhere else branding iron. It took forever to heat and was almost impossible to get it right for the different wood species. The brand part had 8MM threaded hole, so I took a chance and bought just the iron part. It heated up in 4-5 minutes and let off some smoke, it is a metal heating element that came from a manufacturing process, so I was OK with the smell and smoke, it's normal. Worked perfectly after I added a large washer between the iron and brand because there was a 2MM gap. After that it functioned flawlessly. You may or maynot have the gap.

I absolutely love it! I had to get an adapter but it works perfectly! Definitely recommend this product. It’s built very well, easy to use, and well worth the money.

Work as expected

Branding iron matched perfectly with a 1.5 inch stamp that I purchased from a different seller. I would suggest practicing on spare wood to get a feel of the pressure and heat required to produce a complete image. Using this electric iron is significantly better than an open flame.

Failed on first use

Well it does heat up, but it's also producing lot of smoke somehow, even trigger my smoke alarm...

nice wide base for attaching brass stamps
