10 best wood burners

Pyrography is popular not only among children, but also among adults. Under the action of an electric current, the tip is heated, with which the craftsmen guide it over the surface to be treated. As a result, dark brown patterns appear on a light background. Today, novice pyrographs and experienced professionals use two types of devices in their work.

• Wire-tipped electric burners have the advantage of being able to heat up and cool down quickly. Within a few seconds after switching on, you can start the process. Most often, such devices have power control, which allows you to choose the optimal heat treatment mode. Thin nichrome wire, which is the sting of the device, is designed to make precise lines. The disadvantages of this type of burners include a higher price and complexity of repair.
• Hard tip models resemble conventional electric soldering irons. But unlike these devices for brazing metals, burners have removable nozzles. Their number can reach 20 or more, it all depends on the purpose of the device and its price. The disadvantages of soldering iron-type models include a long heating and cooling time (from 5 minutes), inconvenient handles that do not allow performing delicate types of work.

Our review includes the best wood burners. The rating was compiled taking into account the feedback from professional pyrographists and parents of novice craftsmen.

Top 10 best wood burners

10 Pattern-10k

The compact burner Pattern-10k in an impact-resistant plastic case opens the rating of the best. The user has 2 temperature settings, thanks to which he can draw shadows and gradients. It only takes a minute to heat up, which impatient artists love. I am glad that the device is suitable for both adults and children from 6 years old. The buttons are easy to switch, nothing is twisted or broken. Boards must be purchased separately. The device costs a little more than competitors, but it also lasts longer: from 3 years with regular use.

In the reviews, the device is called good, but they complain about the lack of replaceable nozzles. Every 15 minutes you need to give him a rest, otherwise the handle will get very hot. The cord is long, but does not roll well at the base. To achieve clear lines, you need to press hard on the board, it is difficult for children. No hot device holder. By the principle of action, it most of all resembles burners from childhood. The needle is thick, it is difficult to draw a thin line. Adults do not have enough high heating mode, it takes a lot of time for one picture.

9 REXANT 12-0183

REXANT 12-0183 is one of the few in the ranking that is capable of creating works of art and intricate paintings. The nozzles heat up in a few minutes; tweezers have been added for replacement. In a set of 6 tips, including laser, fastened with screws. Added a comfortable stand, the hot device will not spoil the surface. The cord is very soft, rotates at the base, but short. All parts are assembled without burrs, fitted correctly, which many children's burners cannot boast of.

Reviews say that the device is also used as a soldering iron. Many people note the ergonomic handle, but complain about the sting. With prolonged use, it loosens, you have to fix it with pliers. The power cord is heavier than the appliance and must be careful not to knock it over from the stand. The device is not suitable for children; beginners can also choose a simpler model. The kit lacks a loop attachment. The power indicator would not hurt, since there are reviews for the device left and forgotten by the working device.

8 LORI Burnout set

The LORI company produces several dozen sets for burning with different pictures. Inside there is everything you need to get started.The burner is supplemented with several nozzles that put dots and have a laser tip. Along with the device comes an instruction recommending it to children from 6 years old and beginning adults. There are Disney pictures to choose from, which can be framed after finishing work (added to the set). However, the board is not of the highest quality, a little rough to the touch. Because of this, curved lines are obtained. You cannot sand the plywood, otherwise the drawing will be erased.

The reviews warn that heating lasts 5 minutes. The device is very simple, only 3 spare parts that last a long time. There is dissatisfaction with the wire, it does not rotate at the base and is twisted. The device itself is comfortable to hold. The attachments are installed with forceps, children cannot cope with this. There is a small disc on the nib to prevent the hot nib from spoiling the surfaces. However, it is small and round, and often rolls away. Not all nozzles are of the same quality, some of them practically do not burn out.

7 Sparta 913225

Sparta 913225 deserves to be called the best, as for its price it offers 6 attachments and a comfortable stand. 30W of power allows quick warm-up of the handpiece, and the recessed grip ensures comfortable use. The case is made of plastic that will withstand drops. However, the electrical part is afraid of mechanical stress, it is she who is the weakest in the design. The attachments are made of metal, there is a laser tip for small parts. The device is designed for adults and allows you to paint pictures with many details.

The reviews say about the successful design of the device, noting that it is very convenient to use. The hand does not get tired after several hours of work. However, there are no burnout blanks included. This device lasts for several years, then the electronics breaks down. When using it, it is important to turn off and cool the device every 10-15 minutes. The handle also heats up a little, but there are no temperature regimes.

6 The last hero

The Last Bogatyr is a large set with drawings of varying complexity, created for children from 6 years old.

The kit is the best for those who like to draw a lot, as it offers not only ready-made pictures, but also blank boards. They can be filled with drawings from online burning libraries. The power of 20 W is enough for children's creativity, however, it will not work to create complex shadows and transitions. The owners warn that the device takes 5 minutes or more to warm up. The body itself is made of plastic with buttons for adjusting the temperature.

It takes up to 5 minutes to cool down, this is important to consider if the child draws outside the house. Parents warn that there is a high risk of forgetting and putting a hot appliance in a backpack or desk drawer. The pluses include drawings from the Russian film, shot by Disney, which are well-known to many. Many people recommend a set for children from 8 years old who hold a pen with confidence. It is advised to purchase burning boards with pictures from this company. However, the final price is daunting, especially when compared with budget competitors.
