# Best Wood Burning Tools With Adjustable Temperature Control Source: https://burnandgrain.com/best/best-wood-burning-tool-with-temperature-control Publisher: Burn and Grain. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://burnandgrain.com/how-we-pick A fixed-heat pen has one setting, so the only way to burn lighter is to move faster. A wood burning tool with temperature control lets you turn the heat down for pale shading and soft wood, and up for dark lines and harder wood. The control comes in three forms: a dial built into a solid-point pen, a digital display on the pen itself, or a separate power unit (a station) that drives a light wire-nib pen and shows the setting on a read-out. Wire-nib burners heat and cool quickly and carry the highest stated figures; dial pens are simpler and take solid screw-in tips. This guide compares seven adjustable tools by the wattage, temperature range, tip type and tip count their listings state. Treat every range as the maker's own figure: craft pens are not calibrated, a read-out shows the setting rather than the tip, and the tip cools when it touches wood. Nothing here was tested by us. Start low on a scrap of the same wood and raise the heat until a steady stroke leaves a toast-brown line. ## Picks ### 1.
