BeJeweler Pro Hot Fix Rhinestone Setter

My married daughter wanted the prong affixing Bedazzler for Xmas. However, after reading many reviews, I decided to go with the hot iron product and not to use prongs. I read where the prongs can get caught on things and felt that little bit of advice made alot of sense, I chose this particular hot iron tool because the wand tip is interchangeable and can pick up all the hot fix rhinestone sizes. There were many other positive remarks for the Creative Crystal BeJeweler product too.We started with the 4mm size and recommend that as a good size to start with. The stones are reasonably priced with an extensive choice of colors from the ThreadArt Hot Fix Rhinestone company. All the products are right here on Amazon. My daughter who seems to have problems with these kinds of projects had no problems affixing the stones and using the hot wand. She has already done quite a few projects. The items she decorated for her ten year old daughter and herself, really look fantastic. I am glad I read the reviews on Amazon and got my daughter the best product for the job. She knew I would.

I have been using 2mm rhinestones, which are the tiniest, this tool picks them up with easy with one gentle touch, then because they are so tiny just placing them onto your outfit and 1-2 seconds it sticks beautifully. The handle is comfortable to hold and within minutes I had produced a wonderfully bedazzled outfit. Would highly recommend this to a beginner, not hard to use.With all the attachments that come with it I'm sure any size rhinestone would be just as easy, but I can only vouch for the 2mm and worked great.

This product heated up quickly, and definitely applied the stones. I did a few test runs with the different tips and found that picking them up with the tool and setting them was not very easy. I matched the tip to the size of the stone, it picked up the stone well, but setting it against the fabric I noticed that the edges of the tip also touched the fabric. Depending on the fiber content this could pose a problem. I made sure to hold the gem (swarovski hot fix stones) in the tool for about 25 seconds to let the glue melt. Then I tried to quickly press it into the fabric. The first one worked well. Each stone after that was a nightmare and stuck in the tip. I could use a pin as instructed to dislodge the stone, but that resulted in either either the stone moving from where I wanted it to be while I fiddled with the pin/tool, or the tip being against the fabric for too long (poly-satin) slightly scorching it.That being said, I managed a workaround. Since I could lay my garment fairly flat I could pre-position the stones. At first I tried the flat top tip - and that worked okay, but it took longer to heat up the stone. I ended up using a tip that was one size too small for the stone. That way it sat around the stone heating it quickly and evenly, but never touched the fabric. This gave me the chance to adjust the stone if the tool moved it when I first pressed it to the stone, and it took about 25 seconds to heat the glue. The stones were easily set this way, and stayed in place very well.

I had never used or purchased this type of tool before but after reading reviews and costs I choose this one and sure am glad I did as it has worked great and is so easy, I like the changeable heads for different size jewels and the little stand is nice too

I received this item in record time. I used it today on fabric. It heats up quickly and picks up the stones. If you follow the instructions the swarovski hotfix crystals stick right away. I kept the pin handy just to make sure to get it out before the glue gets too hot. If you put the crystal in the tip, don't push down it makes it stick more, just touch it to the crystal and it picks it up. A trick I learned immediately, is that if you get a little glue that strings or is off place, use a pen device called goo gone. It removes extra glue and didn't mark up the black fabric that I used it on. Also this marker doesn't have the smell of regular goo gone. I love this tool and it came with 8 different sized tips for different sized crystals plus a hot spot that is just a solid piece of metal to place on top of a crystal, nail head, etc. to melt the back glue. This also has a stand to set it in when it it hot and a cool wire brush to remove any extra glue from the tips. I can't wait to get more crystals.

This thing is difficult to use. It does not pick up the jewels as promised on the packaging. I had to place the jewels with tweezers and then use the heat tip. I could have done the same thing with a curling iron.

Just got this in the mail a couple days ago. While waiting for my mom to send me some rhinestones, I went to Hobby Lobby to get some practice stones. This is exactly what i hoped it would be. Very easy to use. I had no trouble at all with it. I like that the tips have a slit in them to help ease the rhinestone out and that there are multiple size tips & a flat one. the tips came in a heavy resealable plastic pouch.So far, I have bejewled my water cup and shooting range earmuffs with yellow rhinestones. I have a hat to work on next.

I wish I didn't have to give any stars. I also think all the positive reviews are either people who work for the company or were given it at a discount price or free. I got this & the crystals that they suggest. Well that was a waste. This thing didn't pick up any crystals at all. Just a waste of money.
