That is the thing Riverkilt has been praising for a while now (search "gizmo" or "black & decker")
I probably should get me one of those . . . for minor "touch-ups" of course.

I don't think I would want to do a whole kilt with one, but it works great for touch-ups.

That's a pretty neat gizmo. I have a Rowenta iron that will do the steam surge thing from the upright position; you can steam out wrinkles on pv kilts pretty quickly. I haven't tried it on wool pleats yet, but it wworks on my camel hair sport coat.

I'm going to get one to take on my up-coming cruise. It looks perfect for traveling.

Be aware that the cruise lines seem to be limiting that. I took mine on my cruise last spring and was unable to use it. The room didn't have any open outlets. But there was a laundry room with an iron available just down the hall.

Now that may have to do with the age of the ship. The ship I was on only started in February, so onlder ships may still have the outlets open.

There were probably some incidents with people using outlets improperly, so they are limiting them.

I don't know the whole story, but I thought you could use a heads up.

You're right! I just looked in the booklet that was sent to me, and it prohibits irons!

Well, it seemed like a good idea.

A most lovely kilting tool the B&D Gizmo.

Great for traveling on terra firma where there are outlets.

Standard use for me is after a day kilted just hang the kilt and pass over any creases I created, apron, pleats. I don't often use the duck bill part of it, but its perfect for when it is needed. Also like to blast some steam between the underapron and outerapron just for general purposes.

The Gizmo pretty much gives instant results and I've yet to iron a kilt since I bought it.
