Comments about Seal /Bienfang Tacking Iron - Selector III:
Being new to dry mounting I found I needed a tacking iron to avoid misalignment of photos during the mounting process. The Seal iron cost almost twice a much as this iron so I ordered this one although I don't know how long it will last. So far I think it will not receive heavy use. It did not come with any instructions and that would have been helpful to a new user like myself.

Comments about Seal /Bienfang Tacking Iron - Selector III:
I have purchased two of these. Both worked just fine for a while, then stopped working. Wouldn't heat up when plugged in. Appears as if the wiring came loose inside. The second one quit after two years of moderate use. Will not buy this model again.
