One of my resolutions for this year was to get better at wax carving. Finally upgraded my two random and rusty dental tools to a set of proper wax carving ones, but I'd also really like a wax melty pen type thing.

I've seen the little battery powered ones, but they don't offer any temperature control. What I'd really like is one of the Foredom wax carvers, but (a) they are expensive and (b) the only place that sells them in the UK is Cousins.

So, I saw this little one on Ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3217789702...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT which looks just what I'm after. Has anyone tried one of these? Are Chinese manufactured electrical goods safe? Am I over-thinking this and worrying too much?

Help!
