Tacking Iron for Spine Ticks

This tacking iron is intended to replace the difficult-t0-find Hanger 9 product.

In many ways this item is superior and in a few it is inferior.

It has a large and smooth shoe that holds much heat.
It only heats to about 135-160 F which is ideal for removing spine tics without damaging the book cover.

However, this item does not have an on or off switch or an indicator light to save on the price but it does come with a small metal stand to it can be set down with out danger of burning other objects.
