Cooltop Hot Wire Foam Cutter kit, 18W Styrofoam Knife Cutter Electric Hot Wire Foam Cutting Tool, Heated Foam Carving Knife Kit with Cleaning Pen for Foam Board, Pearl Cotton, EPP, KT Board, EPS

This hot cutter is super cool. Great to have around for any foam cutting projects/ needs. Price is cheap enough we just bought it to keep on hand not realizing how awesome of a tool it could be for when you least expect it.Would definitely buy again. Fun to work and great results for cutting foam items. Cures quickly and cleanly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I use styrofoam as the base for my Christmas Village so I had lots to cut. In the past I used a box cutter or an electric carving knife but it left a big mess and was difficult and time consuming to cut precisely. With this I can cut the foam quickly and easily. The cutter gets very hot so you must be careful but it cools down quickly when you turn it off. I was able to make precise and creative cuts for my village. The different heads work well for the different ways I needed to make cuts.If you will be working with styrofoam or other types of not too dense foam this is great.

I was really excited when I received my order, as I had a project already halfway complete, and I was just waiting on this to "finish" cutting the foam and complete the project. I'm not sure if it was me, or it was this cutter, but it was not anywhere close to neat/smooth/clean cuts. Every "cut" I made the foam kind of gooped up on the wire, and left a very jagged and uneven cut no matter how steady I was. I tried going a little quicker, and it seemed to not cut as fast as I was going, thus leaving uneven jagged cuts. I tried going a little slower, and the foam seemed to melt and get really goopy all over the wire; the cuts were neater/straighter/cleaner (still left just a little melted/goopy foam behind though), but I had to keep stopping every couple of inches to wipe down the wire and/or try to scrape the goop off. Again, this is my first time working with this device, ever, so it may not be the device's "fault"; it could absolutely be operator error! Regardless, it was not nearly as easy, clean, and neat as I saw in many videos, but hopefully with more practice, it will get better. Overall, whether it was my fault or the device's fault, it still cut the foam and got the job done (not the prettiest, but it worked).

Cuts well and heats up quick but this is for small projectsNot made for long endurance cuts

This foam cutter is awesome! The thin wire works best, I do wish there was a bigger wand to use with the wire, but it definitely beats trying to cut foam with a knife!

heats up quick, cools quick, forces you to cut slow and true.wand could be stiffer, plug to wand to be tighter.strait wand burnt out quick and could not repair. Sad.

One of the coolest gadgets I ever introduced into my art room. Slices through styrofoam like buttah! Gives off some noxious fumes but that’s the price you pay for melting styrofoam. None of my students know what to call it so they usually use hand motions to describe it or come up with weird names for it. Be super careful because it is hot hot hot! I always demo it first and say a prayer a kid doesn’t go rogue and brand themselves or me. So far so good!

Worked really well initially. But after minimal use, it kept losing power, unless I pinched and held the cord just right. Must be a short. Disappointed it didn't last longer.
