I haven’t snapped the wire yet, but it comes with spare wire, and really the trick is just being patient and going slow. An all around great tool, be sure to do it outside or with ventilation, DO NOT breathe that stuff in. Review: Easy to handle, used on 1" pink insulation foam - attachment wires are simple to pop in and out of the handle and have a simple variety to allow for different cutting shapes. I used this to cut 1" pink insulation foam to form rocks & hills for model train terrain. No issues, nice results with clean surfaces, and substantially easier & cleaner than using a knife (no dust and little foam bits). wire attachment is the cleanest cut and burns the least amount of foam. thicker wire "blade", due to the thickness and amount of heat to dissipate produces more foam out-gassing, so best to in a ventilated area (open window). Any wire cutter will have this consideration ## Features - 3 Tools In 1: Cut or Engrave Foam Complete Tool Set. - CONTAINS: Three Tools In One, 14w High Power Foam Cutter With UL Approved Power Suppl y and On / Off Safety Switch, 10cm Wand Style Hot Knife, 1 Cm Crafts Engraving Tip, 16cm Bow Hot Blade, Replacement Wire For Bow, Cutter Holder, - USES: Cuts Polystyrene, Pink Foam, Styrofoam With Ease.

It is tied across the bow. **Q: what is the maximum deep foam you can cut with hot knife?** A: The wire is 4 inches long. So a 4-inch cut is about the max you can get unless you go at it from both sides, then 8 inches would be max. The bow is 7" across and can cut about 3 inches deep. **Q: Bought it and the longer wand just fell off. How can i get it replaced. Ir do you sell just that piece?** A: I'm not the seller, but I believe they sell this separately. The longer wand must be used gently...it's for fine use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by K***Z on September 26, 2019* It feels a little delicate, if you go too fast the rod will bend. I haven’t snapped the wire yet, but it comes with spare wire, and really the trick is just being patient and going slow. An all around great tool, be sure to do it outside or with ventilation, DO NOT breathe that stuff in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to handle, used on 1" pink insulation foam *by B***N on August 18, 2022* attachment wires are simple to pop in and out of the handle and have a simple variety to allow for different cutting shapes. I used this to cut 1" pink insulation foam to form rocks & hills for model train terrain. No issues, nice results with clean surfaces, and substantially easier & cleaner than using a knife (no dust and little foam bits). wire attachment is the cleanest cut and burns the least amount of foam. thicker wire "blade", due to the thickness and amount of heat to dissipate produces more foam out-gassing, so best to in a ventilated area (open window). Any wire cutter will have this consideration ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job, but wish stand was sturdier *by A***N on January 13, 2023* Very useful tool for cutting foam and works fine (slow cuts only). Only gripe is the rest is very lightweight and easy to knock over, so be careful or mount it to a sturdier base / create your own rest. In a perfect world the cord would be a bit longer, too, but not a dealbreaker; just makes using with an extension cord awkward due to the weight of the connecting plugs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hot Knife Foam Cutter Hot Wire Styrofoam Engraving Tip 3 in 1 Tools Kit By Calcor - Silverlake Craft Foam Sheets - American-Made Hard Foam - 4-Pack 11x17x1" EPS Boards for Professional Projects & Displays - Silverlake Craft Foam Blocks - American-Made Hard Foam - 3-Pack 8x12x2" EPS Boards for Professional Projects, Hobby Art, Teaching & Small Business --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/55004189-hot-knife-foam-cutter-hot-wire-styrofoam-engraving-tip-3](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/55004189-hot-knife-foam-cutter-hot-wire-styrofoam-engraving-tip-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
