Razertip® offers over 860 different tip and pen shapes and styles, plus custom tips. With so many to choose
from we realize that selecting the right tip may be a bit of a challenge. We’ve grouped tips together according to
their most common uses (see tip index on
page 31
to see the groupings). If you’re not sure which tip or pen is
best for your needs, please drop us a line or give us a call and we will help you pick just the right tool.
Heavy-Duty (HD) vs. Standard Tips
Generally speaking, standard tips and standard fixed-tip pens are your best choice for fine detail work. They
recover their heat more quickly than HD pens and tips and most people find the standard pens more
comfortable to hold.
Heavy-duty pens and tips are your best choice for shading and applications where more “flat” pressure will be
placed on the tip or where the tip will be used for cutting. HD pens and tips also will stand up better to harder
use. For this reason they tend to be more popular with schools.
Fixed-tip vs. Interchangeable
For the most part our advice is to use fixed-tip pens for those tip shapes that you will use a lot. Consider getting
one or two #BPH interchangeable-tip pens for lesser-used or home-made tips. BPH pens have also proven
very popular with Feather Former™ and Scale Tips.
Fixed-tip pens allow you to work with your fingers closer to your work surface, giving you better control over fine
work. The laser-welded tip is usually more rigid than in a BPH pen - again - better control. Fixed-tip pens are
absolutely essential when cutting any material, especially plastics or anything that melts. Melted material can
get into contact areas on BPH pens and cause the tip to stop heating.
All of our pens are relatively cool to operate, but BPH pens are generally the coolest-operating pens available. If
you have very sensitive fingers or if you work at high heat settings you may find the BPH pens to be your best
choice. One word of advice, however - if you decide on BPH pens and are planning on changing tips, be sure
to buy at least 2 pens because changing tips on a hot pen is no fun (also if you have 2 pens you won’t need to
change tips as often).
