My problem is that it was not clear at all that you had to change out the sealing wire to get it to seal and cut. Once I figured that out, by looking at other listings, I was able to figure out I need to put the round wire in there. Replacing the sealing wire is a pain, but doable. If you aren’t dexterous, good luck. But they are all like this. TIP; be very gentle with the screws holding the wire in. They seem to be floating or something and are very fragile feeling. Overall, the product works great, seals quickly, and does exactly what I need. Tip: start at like heat 3 and see if that works. Make sure to wait at least that full second after the light goes off. It’s important. Not sure why none of the questions are answered correctly indicating it can seal and cut. The instructions might as well have been in Latin, because they made no sense and provided no real use. Just watch the video they have. Pretty simple to use. While some people say they received a unit that needed additional repair to work, mine worked straight out the box. I’d recommend this unit. Hope it lasts 18 months. PS, I gave it 3*’s on easy to use for the reason of being challenging to change the sealing wire. Review: Excellent product lasts a long time - I am replacing my old impulse sealer that I bought in 2004. It looks exactly the same, same color, knob, fuse, everything. The last one worked for 20 years never trouble at all. but after 20 years the transformer went, and it was cheaper to buy a new unit than fix the old one :) It's a very dependable unit, I never had any trouble sealing practically any plastic or mylar material out there. ## Features - Tabletop Impulse Heat Sealer --- Important Notice: The light only turns on and the sealer is activated when the handle is pressed down! The Metronic tabletop impulse sealer, quickly seals different types of plastic packaging. - Safe and Easy to Use --- Metronic impulse sealers are safe and easy to use. The heating element in the impulse sealer is not constantly heated. The light will turn on when the sealer is activated, and will turn off once sealing is completed. - No Warmup Time Needed --- No warmup or cooldown time needed, safe and simple to use. Impulse sealers are very convenient and safe because they can be immediately used, and the chance of being burned is minimal. - Adjustable Timer Setting - Adjustable heat settings for the different materials. For most applications, using the impulse heat sealer at heat setting of 3 is sufficient. - Quality Guarantee --- At Jiaro International, we are deeply committed to provid a superior shopping experience to our customers.If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time and Metronic will solve it for you in time. - Important Notes： Step 1. Connect the power supply. When the green light illuminates, this indicates that the machine is in a normal powered-on state. Step 2.Adjust the temperature according to the type and thickness of the bag. （It is recommended that you start sealing tests at a low setting. If the bag cannot be sealed at this setting, increase it appropriately.) Step 3. There is no need to preheat. Simply place the bag flat on the machine and ensure that the opening is smooth and wrinkle-free. - Step 4. Press the plunger at the end of the handle. The green light will turn red and the sealer will begin to operate. When the red light turns green, the sealing process is complete. （When operating the sealing machine at high speed for an extended period of time, reduce the setting appropriately, bearing in mind that the sealing time increases based on the melting degree of the bag seal. Failure to do so may result in excessive heat at the sealing point, causing the bag opening to melt.） ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0062BFHRW | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,692 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #2 in Commercial Bag Sealers | | Brand | METRONIC | | Brand Name | METRONIC | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,488 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 21"L x 3"W x 10.5"H | | Manufacturer | METRONIC | | Material | Iron | | Model Number | Bag Sealer | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | Sealer-16-1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 21"L x 3"W x 10.5"H | | Unit Count | 6.0 Count | | Wattage | 600 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** METRONIC - **Color:** Blue - **Material:** Iron - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 21"L x 3"W x 10.5"H ## Images ![METRONIC Impulse Sealer 16 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61umAmHeOCL.jpg) ![METRONIC Impulse Sealer 16 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711KB2wztUL.jpg) ![METRONIC Impulse Sealer 16 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Sx0hTcgNL.jpg) ![METRONIC Impulse Sealer 16 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wVYBYz25L.jpg) ![METRONIC Impulse Sealer 16 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717-cyayEoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: The documented sealing length for this is 200mm which is less than that on the 12" (FS-300) version (300mm). Is this a typo or actually true?** A: No 12" sounds about right, it does a great job once you figure out the correct heat settings.recommend **Q: Will this reseal the Amazon Prime shipping envelopes we get for returns to Amazon?** A: Yes if they're the same type of bags they ship items to us with. I've resealed their bags to send back items to them. **Q: I bought this sealer over three months ago and is still working nicely, however I was wondering if I could use a thicker heat element?** A: No a thicker element would pull more power and blow the fuse if you want a thicker element you have to buy one triple the cost. I just double seal **Q: Can you use this on Mylar balloons?** A: Don't see why not all it does is heat and melt plastics. I would do a little research into what exactly what MYLAR IS MADE OF. You can adjust the heating range ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works out of the box…unless u need to seal and cut. *by M***T on April 22, 2023* The sealer worked straight out of the box, without issue.
