Hot Wire Foam Cutter, WFC0001 Polystyrene Cutter & Styrofoam Cutter 350°C, 3 Quick-Change Tips, Hot Wire Cutting Tool for DIY Crafts and Sculpting (Kit of 3)

Very pleased with this item. For years I've cursed that foam packaging that so much stuff is packed in nowadays. It's hard to dispose of. To get it in the bin it's difficult to cut even with a sharp knife, and sawing it leaves a million little white bobbles that get everywhere. We've recently started getting our meat and fish from an online supplier. Lovely quality, but packed in large foam boxes and the prospect of dealing with them on a regular basis almost made me give up using the company. So I bought this, and what a pleasure it is to use. It comes with three fittings. Two wands of different lengths, and the bow shaped wire cutter which is what I use for the boxes. Slices through the 40 mm foam effortlessly, allowing me to cut the foam into small sizes suitable for a bin bag without a hint of mess. Brilliant! Mains supply, so no worrying about the battery running low, and comes with a spare wire. don't know how long it will last, but so far I love it. EDIT. 17th Dec 2025. I mentioned in my original review that I didn't know how long it would last. Turns out - about 5 years. It's just gone BANG. Literally. Big flash. Loud bang. Something internal in the plug has shorted and even split the plug! So. Don't know quite how to react. I must say, though, that it's been fantastically useful, during quite a hard life. It didn't do any harm when it went, and I'm going to get another. Wouldn't be without it now. I'm not even going to change my rating. Still a 5 star item for me. I just thought I'd mention this development.

Good for prices works well

I like model making and though I have a hot wire foam table cuter, sometimes there is a need to go free hand. The tools felt a little cheap to me, but at the end of the day, it was not that expensive and it works well. No issues.

So wire is not hot enough after 5 min of use it gone cold not working anymore, couldn't even make one hole in styrofoam.

Pros. It works, good packaging, easy to use, does not 'overheat'. Cons. No fuse Summary: Nice, but use with caution as it relies on the main fuse and does not have one of its own. I made a simple extension cable and plug to provide mine with the lowest fuse I could find for extra 'peace of mind'. Although the consumption is only 6volts and its ampere is very low I feel it should have its own fuse in case something goes wrong in the transformer plug that it uses.

You get whats advertised, good quality

The wire cutter worked great on polystyrene but the other two fittings wernt very gd and melted in the plastic housing

Item was as described. Cut through foam boards with ease

Muy buena calidad, igual que las fotografías, funciona muy bien, excelente herramienta, a la ciudad de México llegó muy rápido

はっきり言って使えません！ プラスチックに使いましたが熱が弱くて！ 発泡スチロール専用なのかな？

Ottimo attrezzo qualita prezzo

Works great!

Funciona muy bien, hay que saber mover bien y sin prisa el alambre pero corta perfectamente
