Great customer service
I received the product and put in a newly charged ebl battery. Charger showed full charge and product did not work. I set up a return and reorder. I got my replacement in 2 days and repeated the same process. Again product did not work. I grabbed an amazon basics aa battery and it worked fine. Tried the first one and it worked as well. I use this for fly tying and it beats burning my fingers with a lighter or hot bodkin. I have used these the last few days liked them alot and will keep both.

Works great!
I’ve tried a few different styles of thread burners and this is my favorite by far. Heats up quickly, works in a flash, smokes very little, smells very little.

Not heat
It doesn’t work well; this is the third one I’ve bought, and they don’t heat up. If they do heat, they stay on, and you have to loosen the connection. The quality is very poor. Years ago, I had a store where I sold them, and they worked very well, but for the past two years, the quality has been very bad. There was another one that was white and bigger, and that one was better. It seems like they changed manufacturers because this is the third defective one I’ve received.

Hot enough but not “glowing” hot
Bought this tool to help in tying EP tarpon flies. The tool is used in this context to melt the EP (Enrico Puglisi) fibers to provide a clear area for glueing the eyes. The tip of the tool gets hot enough to melt the tying fibers after a few seconds, but it doesn’t get red hot.

Did not work
After seeing this used by several bearers I follow and the name having quality products I decided to try it for myself. I was very disappointed that I could not get it to work after only seeing it get off one time🥴. Even after trying different batteries I couldn’t get it to work. Unfortunately time got away and I have missed my window of return. I was looking forward to using this to get clean cuts of my threads. Maybe I just don’t know how to use it🥴Why did you pick this product vs others?:The brand nameEase of use:Showed very easySize:hand held

Doesn’t work and there is no easy return process. Biggest waste of time and money. I spent 20 min holding the button down and the wire didn’t get hot enough to work. I wish the return process was easier. Feels extremely cheap. I tried different batteries to make sure it wasn’t my fault too.
