(More customer reviews)I had one of these back when I was a kid. My mother was big into arts and crafts and I have done everything under the sun. I mean everything. We used a similar device to cut foam for some art project that I was required to do. It was not as nice. It was plastic, not as versatile and ran on batteries.
Last October I had the need to cut large panels of foam to use as tombstones. I had originally thought of using a knife but what a mess that makes.
This tool is great for cutting foam. No mess. Easy to use.
It has a small power supply which plugs into the handle. It has a trigger which sends a low voltage to the wire which gets hot and melts the foam. As soon as you let go of the trigger the wire cools quickly to the touch.
I did purchase the add-on Foam Cutter Bow & Guide and extra wire. The bow allows you to work on larger pieces of foam. The extra wire is in case I break it while working....which didn't happen.
I would suggest this tool to anyone working with and cutting foam.
