WINONS 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.

Impressed. Purchased to cut some poly foam for creating scenery on a model railway. It basically works. Cuts straight through with little smoke or smell and makes a clean cut sealing the edges of the beads as it goes. Takes no effort and doesn't need to be pushed or pulled - just guided. Supplied with a spare length of wire if needed for the future. The plastic used for the handle and power brick is cheap and horrible, probably won't survive being dropped onto a hard surface. One serious negative point: There's a huge choice of similar products. I chose this one partly becasue it was listed as "buy in next 20 minutes for delivery by 10pm today". Once they'd taken my money and confirmed the order, surprise surprise, the confirmation says delivery by 10pm TOMORROW. It didn't make a huge difference, but it is not honest and is becoming prevelant on Amazon where items are similalrly listed and never delivered as the listing states.

Good for prices works well

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.

You get whats advertised, good quality

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.

Insufficient depth

A useful tool but it didn't cut into thick foam pieces as easily as I thought it would - the connectors kept seeming to come loose and the gadget went cool..

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

Fonctionné à merveille

Exelente producto.

Quality is there, it works how it should, and I’d definitely purchase again.

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？
