Hot Knife Foam Cutter with 10ft Long Cable, 150W Electric Styrofoam Cutter Tool Kit with 2 Blades for Cutting EPP, EPS, XPS, EVA, EPE, PU, KT Board, Sponge, Nylon

Wonderful item that saved me insulating a shed. Sliced through foam board like butter - no mess.

It doesn't seem to get hot enough to cut through foam board like butter. It cuts through, but it is a slow process

Where do I start? I really hate giving poor reviews, but fair is fair.I should’ve returned this foam cutter immediately when I saw that it appeared to be cheaply made, but I was desperate to get my project done, so I gave it a try. It was not easy to use,and I wasted a lot of time trying to get the temperature correct for the 2” upholstery foam that I was using. It was either too cool or too warm, so the edges of my work were not smoothly cut. The cutting blade actually bent while I was trying to slice through the foam, which meant that I had to figure out another way to complete my project.I will not use this item again, nor can I recommend it to anyone else. Instead I will revert to using an electric meet carver. Don’t waste you time or money because this item is:- poorly designed (thermostat &blades)- poorly made (did not work as advertised)- functions poorly (did not get the job done- a waste of time- and overall, a WASTE OF MONEY

This was just what I needed for my project. I went slow and steady and it cut perfectly. I was able to turn the heat up and down accordingly.

This hot knife cuts through foam well. It makes it much easier than cutting with a regular knife. It heats up quick, and has a nice rugged carrying case. Happy to have this tool.

easier than heating up metal with a torch and trying to quickly cut and shape foam before it cools.

Doesn't work except on highest setting. Blades not rigid enough. Does'nt have "click" control as stated in manual. Doesn't stay on except when holding down trigger. Continues to shut off. Cutomer support doesn't address this tool.Overall quality is very poor.

I found that this cutter is much slower to heat up than the manual says. But it does get there in about 30 to 60 seconds. It cuts through thicker foam, although you need to move slowly to get the smoothest results. It works well to score for breaking pieces. But if you plan on cutting completely through the piece make sure to grab the cut piece off quickly or it will stick to the knife and become a gummy stringy mess. Also, I would definitely recommend using this with PPE as the fumes that come off of the foam are not good for your health.
