Best Heat Tool Around!
This is by far the best heat tool I've owned. It actually gets hot pretty quickly. Because it gets hot so quick, I find that I am spending less time holding the heat tool to my projects and therefore experience less warping of my cardstock. As with any heat tool, it's helpful to hold your project in place with craft tweezers or some type of makeshift handle so you don't burn your fingers - this isn't any different with any heat tool you use. I find this tool melts my embossing powders like a dream. I haven't had any problems with this tool. It even has a little stand to help hold up the hot part after use. This allows for you to let it adequately cool down before putting it away.
