Review: Update on This Item! - So this was not the miracle foam board cutter I was hoping for. The blade would not stay put in the device and would “slide” back. I burned myself several times trying to put it back in place so the heat was pretty good lol. The cutting was choppy and jagged. Wish I had taken a pic of the edge of the foam board project I was trying to cut out. I finally decided to super glue the blade in place, however once I did that, it sort of “popped” and whole thing turned off and stopped working! So MY BAD- however if the blade would’ve just stay put, I’d still have this device. No worries tho- it really wasn’t that great of a product. I just threw it away. Since writing the above review, the company contacted me and offered me a FULL REFUND on this item! Very impressive!
Review: Blew out an outlet and never worked again. Garbage. - This thing is utter garbage and will be returning. Worked fine once, burned a punch of holes into a tote for ventilation, plugged it in to use it again and threw the GFI outlet, after resetting the outlet and checking fuse box it no longer heated up. Seller only lets your return via UPS Store and makes you pay for a box to return it so I guess I’ll be throwing this piece of crap in the garbage. Not worth the 18.18 for that stupidity. Long story short don’t buy this crap and just but a soldier iron that has a skinny tip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool
*by E***Z on October 4, 2025*

Works really well on crafting pumpkins the only issue is that the knife part comes loose so you have to tighten using pliers while in use and the knife is hot I really like the tool happy with my purchase
