We have three of these tools and they are the most popular with our build crew. We use these in our workshops and out students are always amazed on the ease of use and usefulness. Our favorite go-to foam cutting tool.
I'm VERY happy with my new hot wire tool and accessory. A project that used to take me about an hour to cut and shape with a snap blade took less than 10 minutes with this new tool. I really wish I'd purchased it earlier, I could have gotten so much more accomplished!
This tool is pretty cool for sculpting almost anything but i realized that I will need more hot tools to accomplish different cuts and effects. I am a little bit dissapointed that this tool didnt come with the black plastic piece that prevents the wire from moving. No matter how hard i try to keep the line taught, those two screws holding the metal forks continues to loosen resulting in a wavy cut. I really had to try hard not to cut too deep into the foam since im carving brick pattern out of 1 inch thick eps foam sheets. I would buy more tools from hotwire and perhapes even the hard coating for foam if the prices on tool kits werent so expensive.
In all our years of working with foam glue, this product is the best hands down. Our crew now swears by this product and it is the go-to glue in our shop. If you have to glue foam pieces together, it is the easiest glue to cut through (and sand).
