I wasn't sure if I should get this or not...but read the other reviews and decided to. I'm glad I did. This is my first Halloween Village and first time constructing in foam. These tools have been great, easy, and fun to use. I watched some videos on youtube etc on tips for constructing with foam and some of them recommend "cheaper" alternatives such as saws and files from the hardware store. I tried this...they work...but wow, what a mess you get with foam beads all over the place. Yes, you're gonna have a clean-up no matter what, but when you use these tools from the Foam factory it heats them and cuts them so you're just dealing with excess foam blocks or shavings instead of tiny particles flying all over the place. Plus, these tools give you more precise options and are great for cutting through or out tracks or holes for your electric cords that go with your Village pieces.

The Foam Factory's Hot Wire cutter set is a convent set to add to my artistic tool arsenal, I was surprised how well it cuts. I found through trial and error move slowly, let the tool to do the work for you. When you do that its amazing how well it works. Its perfect for cutting out foam sheets for props and displays. I found the small tip useful in carving out a face in a foam head.

Cuts foam and EPP foam just as described u have to have some patience it's got to warm up first before it's able to cut but that's just 10-15 seconds worth and always have a towel to wipe it clean before you unplug it and don't leave it on unnecessarily it will eventually burn up the wire just be smart with it

Great tools for foam cutting and sculpting. I made a mausoleum for Halloween last year using these and it came out great! Bought another set for my haunting buddy for his Birthday. Love Hot Wire Foam Factory tools.
