Woodland Scenics Hot Wire Foam Cutter - 1 Count (Pack of 1) - Multicoloured - Non Toxic - Foam Cutter

Product reached little late on their prescribe time but its very good and useful. It was fulfill my expectation.

Does it cut a Polyetherene foam of high density?

Correct sans plus.

I work in a shipping dept. and it is my great helper in packaging products. Cuts thru foam like butter. Great product. I hope it will last long.

I purchased this item from Amazon as well as a different foam cutter from my local Hobby Lobby, and I have to say I like this one much better than the alternative. I am a hobbyist who makes wargaming terrain, and this cutter is my favorite so far. The one I purchased from hobby lobby has just a single metal rod that is heated, unfortunately it is too wide and does not heat up enough to get a really clean cut. The only thing I like about that cutter over this one is it has a toggle switch that you don't have to hold down.I am unsure of how hot this cutter gets exactly, but I think the small surface area of the wire helps it cut through foam with ease. The momentary switch as I mentioned before is a bit of a pain, but only if you use it for 'extended' periods of time. Once you press the switch, it takes about 2-4 seconds to warm up to where it can start to cut. Wait a little longer for the heat to build, and it gets even better. Once I am finished, I just get two or three paper towels, hold it on to heat it up for a few seconds, and what little styrofoam residue that is left on the wire I just quickly wipe off. Be careful to fold the paper towels over a few times, otherwise the heat can catch you off guard.Other than the switch, the handle is a little flimsy which would normally not be a problem except you attach the two metal rods into the handle with thumb screws.In summary it is not the highest quality item, but I would recommend this to a friend, and I would purchase it again myself.

Worked like a charm on my Pelican gun case. At first the wire kept breaking for me while using the collars, I found that by just using the wire around the actual prongs in the grooves worked super well. Only like 3 twists per side. To get proper tension I found that squeezing the prongs a bit while twisting worked well, then letting go for proper tension (doesn't have to be stupid tight)At first I wasn't sure about the wire... I even ran to home depot and wally world to try and find some "resistance" or "nichrome" wire, with no luck. NEITHER STORE SUPPLIED THEM. I got fishing leader but ended up trying the supplied wire one final time when I got home (this time without collars) and it worked for the duration of the mag cut as well as the actual gun with only 1 retie due to trouble reaching. near the bipod. You'll probably need a second set of hands to push foam around for some cuts...the thing doesn't have a huge space between handle and wire.See attached pic for quality. Also be sure to run the unit level or you'll get sloppy cuts. I found a big table with lots of clear space to work well. This was my first time using a foam cutter and was very impressed after all the skeptical reviews. Other people may have got duds or tried going too fast or didn't take small 5 second breaks after 6-12 inches of cutting. Take your time and it will probably look even better than mine!I'll be doing my dad's case after he orders replacement foam due to the sloppy cuts the first time with a utility knife. Solid product so far.

Muy bueno para cortar material fosm
