This digital iron is uniquely designed for heat shrinking fabric for restoring vintage aircraft and ultralights with fantastic results. There are two models for different electrical supplies – one for U.S. users (120 VAC DTC-1000F) and one for International users (220-240 VAC DTC-2000C).  The DTC-1000F display is in degrees Fahrenheit and the DTC-2000C display is in degrees Celcius. The digital temperature control maintains temperature precisely – set it and forget it – no need for calibrating continuously. The base plate is twice the thickness of an ordinary iron keeping the temperature uniform across the plate. And the shovel nose tip will get you in and out of the tightest corners – without a wrinkle.  The iron comes with a non-slip,  hi-temp silicon pad for setting the iron down on during 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.
