Hot Wire Foam Cutter Tool Styrofoam Cutter WFC0001, 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.

You know all that foam packaging that you collect, the stuff that breaks into little, clingy bits that are a pain to clean up, well I had a load of it and thought it might be an idea if I got a hot foam cutter, so I did, this one. Although it was'nt really meant for this job it did it well, took a bit longer but I did'nt have to speand ages cleaning up. I'm not into model making or stuff like that but I did get to try cutting shapes and it did those very well as well so there you are, its good at stuff it not meant for and good at stuff it is, bonus.

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.

The straight cutting tip does not work which for me was the sole reason I bought this set in the first place. The other two attachments work so far, but it is fair to say I am utterly disappointed as I was relying on this particular tool to complete a task. How do you want to go about resolving this situation as swiftly as possible?

Good for prices works well

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

You get whats advertised, good quality

Item was as described. Cut through foam boards with ease

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!
