Yep it probably is,being the Tandy one. I'm sure there are better ones made by better makers. But for some Tandy is all they have access to or can afford. A $700 dollar adjustable soldering iron with multiple tips just aint in my budget. As this is a hobby for me not my living.

So if you are using chrome tan or veg tan leather the heat makes the crease stay, right?

 

does heat help with or do anything else with the crease?

Need heat with chrome tan. See embossing. You need to wet veg tan. See tooling/stamping. I BELIEVE  but not positive heat also works on veg tan.

The heat helps the creasing tip glide across the leather add some more pressure for a deeper crease. The crease is mostly decorative but helps compress the fibers to create a stronger edge. Some wax and paint gives it a nice finish and seals everything up.
