I bought a 4 piece kit back in November, and I have to honestly say this is my least favorite of all my tools. I understand there should be some flex, but I feel like there is too much flex. I don't get as smooth of a cut as I would expect, and I feel like there is a bit of a temperature swing from the base to the tip. It will do the job, and does work better than some others I have used in the past, but I think I would have chosen a smaller Hot Knife if I were to choose now.

We have been building props and costumes for about 4 years. We use a variety of materials including EVA foam and pink insulation foam on many of our projects.

We have used this hot knife for many projects including armor, prop weapons, giant claws, and more!

When we begin a project requiring pink insulation foam, we always use the 8" or 6" Pro Hot Knife to cut out our basic shapes.

The 8" knife is useful on thicker foams. The blade is durable even when you apply too much pressure from time to time while cutting. It will bend but has yet to break.

We originally used the standard Hot Knife and ended up breaking that blade. We would recommend using the Pro versions for sure!

This tool is a must-have if trying to make clean cuts through inches of foam. I wouldn’t be able to create my village displays without it; to divide up large displays into sections, to make holes for light cords through thick layers or foam. It’s indispensible!

Not hot enough to cut through 8" foam - not really hot enough to cut through 6" foam. Not useful for large foam cutting - probably my fault thinking this would cut though wide sheets. Delivery was as expected.
