A hot-runner tool with at least one hot-runner section for supplying molten plastic to an injection mold, preferably a multiple injection mold with a pin-point gate for each casting. The hot-runner section has an outer housing with a flow channel, at least one inlet, and at least one outlet and a heat conductor that can be connected to an electric voltage and that the molten plastic flows around. The flow channel in the hot-runner section is demarcated externally by at least one metal tube that is separated from the heat conductor and a layer of heat insulation is positioned between the metal tube and the inner surface of the outer housing. The metal tube can store and conduct a lot of heat and helps to heat up the plastic rapidly. Since the tube supplies additional heat to those points along the hot-runner section where the plastic needs more heat than at other points, the tube homogenizes the molten plastic along the total length of the hot-runner section.
