BRANDING is possibly the most practical and economical way to mark, permanently, almost any material other than metal or glass. Fine furniture and other works of art are frequently branded to advertise a trademark, logo or manufacturer's name or to "sign" or individualize a craftsman's work. Branding is also used to identify tools or equipment for personal or security purposes.

Materials suitable for branding include cork, chamois, leather, plastics, paper, rubber, wood, particle board and wallboard, even meat and cheese! Hexacon Branding Irons have been used for branding barrels, batteries, boxes, brooms, bungs, cardboard cartons, crates, chairs, cork, electrotypes, ladders, lumber, milk crates, pallets, plastic parts, reels, rubber gloves, rugs, spools, utility poles, tires, tool handles, trucks, wooden furniture, novelties and a myriad of other objects.

Hexacon Branding Irons
The powerful and durable performance of a Hexacon Electric Branding Iron produces a permanent, indelible, imperishable brand, time after time after time. We engineer our products to live through the most arduous and demanding use so you can be confident of a lifetime's reliable service.

Hexacon Branding Irons are built around an ultra-strong, alloy-steel, hexagonal heater head that can be clamped in a vise or fixture for use or disassembly. We use only high-chrome content element wire plus the best grade high dielectric mica insulation available, worldwide.

Maximum die to heater contact and very efficient heat transfer is guaranteed by the tapered seat which is unique to Hexacon among branding equipment. The screw fitting of the die into the iron's heater head enables a positive, secure fit.
All Hexacon Branding Irons have a hardwood handle shaped for a cool comfortable grip. A simple but durable iron stand comes with each iron.
Safety is assured by fitting a flexible, burn-, water-, and oil-resistant, neoprene 3-wire grounded power cord to every iron in our range. Our Branding Irons, 250 watts power and above feature heat deflector discs for added comfort.

With an occasional repair, performed by yourself or at one of our repair centers, the Hexacon Branding Iron you buy today can be the one you are using for the next 2 decades or more. All parts are independently replaceable.
