Colwood's Replaceable tips are compatible with all handpieces provided that they are used in conjunction with an RT Handle.

Replaceable
Colwood Pens can be difficult to use. Colwood Replaceable System has a molded bushing, and replaceable tips. Colwood replaceable tips have a cork grip that provides a long-lasting, comfortable burn. The Colwood Replaceable System doesn't require any bushings or tips, unlike other systems. Colwood units all work with the replaceable tips.
Colwood Replacement Tips are made from high-quality materials and come in a variety of sizes and styles. If you purchase them with the correct adapter, they will also work with other woodburning units. The spade tip's small, symmetrical shape is perfect for burning wood and cork. Wood will burn at a higher heat than cork. Make sure to set it lower. Wood is a great choice when it comes to leather burning because of its clean lines and smooth shading.
Ball
Colwood Ball Replaceable Woodburning Circle Tip allows for many styles of woodburning, including line drawing, signatures, and even shading. The tip's smooth, silky finish makes it easy to burn with clean strokes. These tips require a Handle to be used. This set contains three tips: one for shading and one for drawing lines. Before you can use each tip, prepare the wood. The tips are available in two sizes: small and medium.
Colwood offers two types RT and FT tips. RT stands short for replacement while FT stands to be fixed. The RT tip can be removed from the pen with a special tip pulling tool. FT is fixed, and you'll need to replace it when you're ready to switch out a different tip. If you are looking to swap out tips often, RT Pens are an excellent option.

How To
How to drive a nail through wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use for small tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
