Pro Guitar Neck Removal Kit

Remove guitar necks for resetting without the need for harmful steam!

Our Crafters Hot Knives work great for releasing the adhesives used on guitar necks! The blades can be used to heat up the adhesive without the potential damage to the finish caused by steam from a mini iron. The Pro version of this kit allows you to adjust the heat and keep both Hot Knives at the same temperature! This kit includes two of our 4-Inch Hot Knives, a Variable Heat Pro Power Supply, and a splitter for the Crafters jack so you can use both Hot Knives at once.

CAUTION: These tools are designed for cutting soft foam. DO NOT FORCE the blade downward. Gently push the blade downward into your pre-drilled hole. If you have any questions, watch the video on our website.

2 4-Inch Hot Knives

Need help figuring out which size drillbit to use for the holes? One of our customers told us:

"I used a 1.3mm (0.051") drill and it was perfect for the 4-Inch Hot Knife blade. Personally, I wouldn't go any smaller because the crimped tip binds up easily, otherwise. If you don't have a 1.3mm drill I would recommend anything from 3/64" (0.0469") up to 1/16" (0.0625). With the 3/64" you might have to re-drill the hole to open it up slightly. Don't force the blade or you might wreck it."

Did your blade get stuck? John McNeil did this:

"I noticed on Ted Woodfords recent video that the blade on his foam cutter got stuck. This is what happened to me. He comments that he thought the wood had swelled up but I think this is not the case.

He did manage to unstick it by using some pliers on the silver part of the blade to pull it out. The easier way, and the best way to remove it in my opinion, is to add a few drops of water while the knife is still hot...the water will wick into the pilot hole and release the foam blade. I remove quite a few necks as I am in the business of rebracing older guitars."

Be sure to test this on a scrap of wood before drilling into your guitar.

Made and supported in the USA. Covered by a 90 day factory warranty. If it stops working due to a defect, we will repair or replace it at no charge. If the blade has been physically broken, we will replace the 4-inch blade for $15 plus return shipping.
