Are all heat tools created equal??

[Beth W]

I would like to get a heat tool and do some embossing. Are they all basically the same??
I know Jo's has one and with the 40% off coupon it would be a good buy. Then I'm contemplating the one that SU! sells also. Not sure if our Wal-Mart sells them, but that may be another choice. Thanks for your help! Beth

Beth, I have heard quite a bit of negative feedback about that little white one that Wal-Mart sells (looks like a travel hairdryer). I have the burgandy one by Marvy Uchida and I like it.

Mine is that dark Turqouise one from ACM and I like it too. It's originally $25 but was on sale for $10.

Thanks, the only stores I have here are Jo's and Wal-Mart and SU!. HL, & Michael's are an hour away.

I think I have the same one as LoriS it looks kinda like a tube and has a metal stand so you can rest it on something without burning. I know I've seen it used on the Scrapbook Answers Videos but I haven't tested it against any others.

I have a green one, I think is Marvy, and i got it at ACM and paid $19.95. I've never tested any other one.

I also own a heat gun and used it this past weekend to help defrost the freezer in the garage!

Well, I ordered the one from SU! Thanks for everyone's help! Beth

Hmm I don't know what brand mine is, but i love it. I bought it from mike's (the blue one) and it works just fine. Had it for 2 years now.
