Would a wood- burning tool work well if its heating element had very high resistance?

A wood-burning tool would not work well with a high-resistance heating element because resistance impedes the flow of electric current.

A high-resistance heating element would generate less heat due to the reduced current flow. This would make the wood-burning tool ineffective at quickly heating up and burning the wood.

For a wood-burning tool to work effectively, it should have a low-resistance heating element to allow sufficient current flow and generate the necessary heat needed to burn the wood efficiently.
