I use this to cut plastic weed fabric on my farm. It works perfectly, as described. It seals the fabric as you cut (melt) through it. Definitely hot enough.

This foam cutter demonstrates solid performance - it has an adjustable handle, very quick heating, and a selection of blades. It is a practical tool for cutting foam, and the adjustable handle makes it well suited for a variety of orientations. It’s also a reasonable price and a good choice for foam DIY projects and insulation tasks. The included extra blades and quality storage case help keep the tool and its accessories well-organized. As with most tools of this type, regular blade cleaning is required to maintain optimal performance.PerformanceThe cutter heats up very quickly, taking approximately two seconds to reach operating temperature. The temperature settings are straightforward, with only three settings 1, 2 and 3, to accommodate a range of materials. For best results, start at setting 1(low) and adjust as necessary.When tested on standard white packing styrofoam (Expanded Polystyrene EPS), I noted the following:Setting 1: Slow but controlled cutsSetting 2: Offers a balance between speed and precision, ideal for moderate tasks.Setting 3: Quickly handles large or repetitive cuts. With the increased heat you have to make the cuts quickly otherwise you get too much melt onto the blade.Cuts are smooth and clean, provided the blade remains free of debris. The integrated fan effectively regulates temperature, preventing overheating during extended use. For denser materials like XPS foam, higher temperature settings (2 or 3) may be necessary.Maintenance RequirementsTo maintain clean and precise cuts, regular blade cleaning is essential. Foam residue buildup can hinder performance and cause uneven cuts. Periodically heating the blade and carefully wiping it clean will help keep your cuts fast and clean.Design and VersatilityThe rotatable handle, adjustable from 90 to 180 degrees, enhances usability, especially when switching between horizontal and vertical cuts. The pistol grip is ergonomic for tabletop work, while the straight handle offers comfort during vertical cuts on large sheets. This flexibility in positioning provides long-term ease of use across various cutting scenarios.Included AccessoriesThe kit comes with a hard storage case, and includes the following blades:Two 6-inch bladesTwo 8-inch bladesOne 10-inch bladeA U-shaped bladeA scraperA hex Allen wrenchThe inclusion of the case is appreciated, but the 10” blade doesn't’ fit very well, and the case was clearly not designed to accommodate blades that long, but it fits if you put it in diagonal, just be careful closing.Final Thought - worked really well. It is efficient, heats up quickly, and produces smooth cuts when properly maintained. The addition of a rotatable handle should make it well suited to a variety of cutting angles and repetitive cuts. Only thing i would note is that this foam knife isn’t the best for smaller detailed cuts (crafts,etc.), given the size of the included blades, and the heat of produced even on level 1.

The set comes with only one knife, but it does work very good.I used it on 2” foam with very good results, just needed to play with proper temperature/ speed of cutting setup.The temperature can be adjusted on the bottom of the grip. I like this item, ability to set a useful angle of cutting is very convenient. Thanks!

It works OK but is very limited in what it can do. That’s my opinion but the tool was good quality.

Ok

Das Gerät hat mir gute Dienste bei Arbeiten mit Polystyrol-Platten geleistet. Ist allerdings schon tricky, wirklich gerade Schnitte hinzubekommen. Eine stationäre Halterung wäre für gerade und winklige Schnitte wünscheswert. Wird wohl eine zusätzliche Arbeit über die Feiertage werden.Die Temperatur ist über den "Abzug" gut regulierbar. Die relativ grobe Temperaturvoreinstellung ist dreistufig und könnte etwas feiner ausfallen. Die Reinigung ist relativ einfach. Leider ist das Gehäuse nicht plan. Damit muss man aufpassen, wie das Gerät auf der Werkbank abgelegt wird.

Buen producto
