I would have thrown the extra wire out if I hadn't watched your video. Thanks for that. See... you had more than one viewer. Thanks for the time you put in to it. It was helpful to a lot of us!

[@armandsharp5100]

Thank you,I'm looking at buying a similar one in the UK and your video helped me affirm that it's the right tool for what I need

[@pauldolton9118]

the "1 person" says Hi back!

[@tamivevurka]

I’m so glad I found you make it look so simple

[@melissaramke8952]

Thanks for this! I ordered this cutter when I decided it was time to make my own halloween tombstones this year. I've never tried using any sort of tool like this, so your video was exactly what I needed.

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

Great, thank you very much for saying that! This is the entire reason I do these reviews- to help people make informed purchases. I hope the tombstones you're making come out great!

[@GLOWLondon]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Thanks so much for this video! I purchased a different brand one although, besides the colour, it appears identical… even the instructions!! I didn’t know which tip was which so was searching for some guidance and, thank you, I have now found it. 😀

[@donnajarrel2817]

Any suggestion on how to cut a straight line? Just drawing a line doesn't really work. I need a way to secure the foam so it won't move around resulting in wavy cuts.

[@powerbreed]

BOOM ! There it is 💪

[@emilystubbs5650]

You ever try to change the wire? There's no way to get it tight enough 🥺

[@ewetoob18]

And here I thought I’d be that “one person” 😜. Can i ask if you think this would be ok to use on other kinds of foam like floral, memory and craft foams?

[@raymondcastro1904]

Thank you for the info. Very helpful

Could you cut cheese with it or butter???

[@MrTaron-yh5tm]

Thank you for the video. Tell me please , is it able to cut dense foam?

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

I don't currently have any dense foam on hand to try it on, unfortunately. At least, I don't think I do. I'll take a look around and see if I can scrounge anything up and try to remember to get back to you. Since I didn't realize it wasn't designed to do all of the things I wanted it to such as cutting paracord, I'm thinking about grabbing their other hot knife as well which is much higher temp. If that's the case, I'll do another video review of the other knife along with a comparison video of the two.

[@MrTaron-yh5tm]

​@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 оk thanks. I will wait for a new review

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

​@@MrTaron-yh5tm I found a yoga mat/sleep pad type of thing and a piece of foam garage floor panels and the wire was the only tool that would cut, and even that was very slow. I would say this is for foam that isn't so dense, and Winons makes a higher temp hot knive that would be better for the more dense foam.

[@MrTaron-yh5tm]

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 If you do a new review I will wait. In any case, Thanks for the creeping information and for the review.

[@eleanormclean6799]

just wondering - is this like toxic in any way or harmful and does it make a smell ?

[@ssjinzo]

Will this work on thick foam blocks which are dense foam block 3 inch thick?

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

Like yoga blocks? It may, but it would likely cut very slowly and would probably require the thin wire. Personally, I would choose a different tool for that job. Winons makes a higher powered hot knife that might work, but I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure.

[@carriee8913]

how do you think this would work on foamboard? (like the thick poster board?)

[@alexherrera3918]

Thanks for the video. I need to cut pink 1inch thik from HD, do you thinks it will make it? I there are about 15% bas reviews in amazon. I hope you can share your experiece , thanks again!!

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

I can't tell you either way if it will work on the particular foam you're utilizing, but what I can tell you is my experience- The highest density foam I have cut has been the foam floor tiles that are commonly used in garages and children's play areas. You know, the ones that link together like a puzzle. Mine are 3/8 " thick. I was able to cut it and it as easiest with the wire rather than the probe stye tips, but was very slow going. If you don't mind going slowly and need a clean cut, this works pretty well since it doesn't get so hot that it melts the foam beyond the cut, but requires patience and isn't what I would choose for a large job. I hope this helps.

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 , i do small foam planes and planning to build bigger onces. I decided to use a cutter with more watts (24watts), with a variables power supply . I will share what i find. tks

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

@@alexherrera3918 dude, that sounds fun! I used to love foam planes when I was a kid. Had a bunch of little ones and had one with a 4' wingspan that I broke the the same day I got it, but the hour I spent flying it was a ton of fun! Had I stopped when the wind picked up like I should have, perhaps it wouldn't have met it's demise. I think the variable power supply is a good idea. Versatility is valuable. If you happen to post any videos of you making your planes lmk and I'll gladly watch.

If the wire ever breaks order a roll of 32 gauge Nichrome (high heat resistant ) off amazon for around 8 bucks What ever you do don’t go to lowes and get the galvanized wires in the picture hanging section trust me it won’t work save yourself the headache, galvanized wire is a poor conductor & won’t heat up, you’ll hear the power supply chirping 🦗

[@mdshoeb3017]

They didnt send me extra wire what should i do?

[@thegentlemanscalawag2273]

I hope you contacted them about it. Then again, the extra wire is really difficult to see; it's just a very small couple of wraps and is very thin wire. I didn't see mine until I knocked my box over and it fell to the floor. I'm unsure what type of wire is used for this, but I don't think it would be difficult to figure out and considering how thin it is, would probably be rather inexpensive. But don't take my word for it.

Are the fumes toxic?

[@catchxxii4430]

No. You have to hold a straw in your month and suck them directly in. Your lungs act as a filter. Do not and I repeat, open a window. Fresh air reacts really badly
