Crafters Hot Knife Kit - #K11/K11S

This was great fun while it lasted! I loved using the knife for my first small project, but toward the end of the project, it began to short out. Off, On, off, on. There was no way to continue using it. I was very disappointed because I'd planned on recommending this to others that I teach and using them in classes. I went to the internet and found tons of people had the same or similar problems with this specific tool. I'd purchased it a good six months before I tried it, so I didn't feel that I could ask the company for a replacement. For my own use, I would just have tried the Pro- which I never did- but since I wanted to suggest the purchase for others in my classes, I felt that they would not be able to afford the Pro. I really wish that the tool had been made well enough to continue to work. It was incredible, short-lived fun! I bought this several years ago, so maybe the company has addressed this problem. You might talk to them about it before making your purchase.
