Consider what are the characteristics:

1. By the length of the sting. The longer the sting, the more convenient it is to use, especially if there are small patterns.
2. By the number of protective plates. It is optimal if there are two protective plates. They better protect the hand from overheating of the handle.But one platinum will also be able to cope with this task.
3. Holder thickness. Selected individually. The main task is to keep the burner in your hand comfortable.
4. According to the thickness of the cord. If the cord is too thick, it will add weight to the device. When a child works on it, there will be inconvenience. If an adult will use the device, then you can take a thick cable, it will extend the service life.
