Chris B: This works well for its purpose, but is very cheaply made. After using the long wand attachment for about an hour, it stopped working. I opened the base of the attachment and found the red wire had disconnected from the metal tube that holds the heating element. I was able to repair this by re-soldering it. So the device works again, but it's annoying that I had to repair it when it was right out of the box.

Dr. Eva Koudela: In retrospect I’m sure this was designed to cut polystyrene. I however used to cut seating foam. The semicircular attachment worked very well, easy to use and cut through the foam like a knife through soft butter. When I tried the short piece however it broke. I guess it was not designed for this stuff.

A Guy in Palm Springs: I don't know how I survived for years cutting styrofoam with knives and dental floss. With this tool, it's like cutting butter that has been left out of the fridge for the entire day. My main struggle with it has been that it moves through the styrofoam too easily and too quickly. I've had to adjust my technique, being very careful and controlled, to get a smooth edge instead of one that is wavy like bric brac or looks like Donald Trump's hair on an especially windy day. Totally cheap and worth it for the time and frustration is saves. This heats up quickly, stays hot, and gets the job done. I do with though that there were some more safety features added on. The stand seems kinda flimsy and it's hard to know if it is hot. Make sure to unplug it immediately whenever you step away and to make sure that children, partners, etc know the danger. That said, this is a lot of fun to use. I've been going down to the loading dock in my building and grabbing the styrofoam that people throw out when they get a new TV to practice with and to make some interesting items. For Halloween I used this to make a mini "surfboard" that I fitted around my ankles (right above the tops...

El Karto Diablo: Love them, I got two, obviously one for standard and the other for metric. I only have my open face box wrenches in them, probably 4 complete to nearly complete sets. It's a little busy/crowded where the meet in the middle, but it works, and I love that I can just roll it out, and wham I have a place for them while I work. I keep the super small wrenches in the zipper pocket. That works, but awful spot for allen wrenches.

Karen Embry: We tried using the foam cutter for some foam insulation that was 2" thick. It started out great, had to move a little slowly, but before I could even finish the first cut, it broke. Was able to put it sort of back together, but was useless for the job. Tried the wire cutter, it would not come on at all. Took it apart and moved some of the parts and got it to work finally. It worked much better on the foam. Overall, it may work for smaller projects, but it didn't meet my expectations for my particular job.
