Love this, bought it more for my electrical bits and bobs like heat shrink tubing, removing mobile phone screens etc but will definately be trying it out when it comes to decorating. Comes well presented/packaged with instructions for use. Switch on the handle just like a hair dryer for the power setting and then LCD display with +/- buttons to increase and decrease the heat, dont think there is anything wrong when this doesnt shut straight off with the switch it carries on for a short while to cool off instead of just straight shutting off hot (safety feature). Very useful and at a reasonable price
