Overview
This digital iron is uniquely designed for heat shrinking fabric onto vintage aircraft and ultralights with fantastic results. The digital temperature control maintains temperature precisely – set it and forget it – no more calibrating and continuous adjustments. The base plate is twice the thickness of an ordinary iron keeping the temperature uniform across the plate. And the shovel tip will get you in and out of the tightest corners – without a wrinkle. Comes with a non-slip pad for setting down while in use, and an insulated storage bag that lets you put the iron away even if the base plate is still warm. Easy to travel with too. The guys will be fighting over who gets to use it — so get two!

Light and Easy! Much more versatile than a household iron. Temp on mine holds within 2 degrees and the profile gets into tricky corners. Well worth the purchase. Brian.

Temperature control is excellent. Overall the FabricPro is a big step up from clothing irons and I strongly recommend it. The FabricPro does have room for improvement: 1) There are too many turns required on the temperature selector dial. Dont require as many clicks to move a degree or incorporate a velocity algorithm in the temperature controller to change the set point faster if youre rapidly turning. 2) the hot plate is bare aluminum so poly brush sticks to it. For ironing tapes youll need a Teflon ironing sheet, which is awkward and slow. 3) I wish that there was a bigger (full size) and smaller sealing-iron sized version too.
Works great!
Love this thing! Easy to use, lightweight, accurate and does not shut off. It is a purpose made tool. I had a hell of a time finding an iron that does not shut off. Lucked out with this item. Would recommend for sure.
An absolute awesome product.! Finally a ergonomic iron that easy to use with exact maintained temperatures. Light weight, premium shape and has ample power to provide a constant temperature to shrink wing panels quickly with a precise maintained temperature. All fabric manufactures express the need for a maintained temperature to obtain the covering at the proper shrinkage tensions. All other irons will vary their temperature cycles 30 degrees or more. In other word if you set an other type of Iron to the manufactures temp of 250 you will be actually be ironing at temps ranges between 220 to 270 or more. The Fabric Pro Iron eliminates any guess work and faulty fabric tensions down the road with to lose or over tightened fabric coverings. For the price of covering an airplane this Iron is the cheapest best investment you can make!
The iron is great but it would be perfect if MEK did not soften the plastic.
Nice and light. Smooth handling over fabric, even over 104.
Best iron yet BUT the handle gets hot with prolong use. Handle could be insulated.
