Mark McConnell:
So, I am sorry for those who didn't get more than a few uses from this thing.
I read the reviews and had my suspicions.
So I ordered one and, YUP!
The first thing I did was take apart the cover and inspect for a heat sink.
There is a heat sink, but the component is not properly heat sinked. I fail to see any compound or thermal bonding. There is a reason for heat sink compound/thermal bonding. Correct this and don't run it into the ground and it may last a few years. Heat destroys. let it cool. I removed the top and provided some venting on the cover.
But then I may be totally wrong...

HP22: This worked absolutely perfectly and saved me a ton of time from trying to cut through Styrofoam another way. It was very easy to use, it heats up quickly, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do with no issues. Definitely recommend this product, it saves so much time.

ZachZach: I used this to cut 2" thick foam for the inside of a gun case and it handled it just fine: complete cutting, consistent heat and clean lines. Caveat: it was slow going on thick and hard foam (1" per 6 seconds) but that is good as the faster you go, the faster you'll make a mistake. Keeping the wand at a 90° angle is important, so I made a work rest using a 2x2 angle bracket and a small hose clamp. Also, cardboard templates are V E R Y helpful. Take it slow, plan your work.

The product looked fine, but when I tried to use it for the first time it did not seem to turn on. The needle also did not heat up. Neither the light on the cutter itself came on, nor the light on the AC adapter.
It seems like this was broken from the start and I am going to have to return it. This is frustrating, because I was hoping to use it for a time-sensitive project.

Mary and Don Hill: I do a lot of Christmas floral decorated pots. We use the cutter to melt through the foam without having to saw the pieces. It’s great.
