Precision Engraver #004S (Needs Pro or Craft Power)

I use the Precision Engraver to carve bricks and stonework in my holiday village displays, where it turns an otherwise tedious task into a breeze!
This tool may not be the best approach for those going for realism in a very small scale where the tip might be too big for very fine lines (I'm thinking true realistic scale models).
However, for the stonework in holiday village displays, where true scale doesn't matter as much and we're not always striving for perfect realism, the Precision Engraver is a true lifesaver!

This tool I use to make rocks, sidewalks and cobble stone in my styrofoam. It is the best tool from Hot Wire. Excellent

This tool works brilliantly! Heats up within seconds and is ready to use. It engraves smoothly and flawlessly! I would 100000% reccomend making a template before engraving instead of freehanding. Once hot it works so smoothly and even a second of extra pressure will make a noticeable difference. Overall easy to use!

I would reccomend that Hotwire foam factory make more of these tools, that are sturdy and short, but with varying thicknesses for different projects. I found this tip to be rather thick, as I work on a miniature scale, and could really benifit from a thinner tip, like in calligraphy how you can change the tips according to what you need!

Other than that, brilliant and handy tool overall!!

I'm using the Precision Engraver to make the brick and stone walls in my Halloween display. A great tool to have!
