When trying to review a wood burning tool, I make sure to boil down the method to test a particular tool on 2-3 key parameters since the other things can be subjective.
Tip size and shape: Each wood burning tool needs to come with various tip sizes and shapes, so choose the one that is best suited for your project. I checked if the tool had enough variety.
Heat Retention: The temperature control feature allows you to adjust the heat setting. Consider if you need this feature for your specific project. This is key for versatility.
Safety features: Every wood burning Tool should have a built-in stand and safety guard to protect you during use. This is to make sure you are comfortable with these safety features[1].
