Outstanding product that delivers EXCELLENT results
Product has a very fine filament tip that is spot-on. It creates two perfect blobs on fireline thread when extending thread for beadweaving. The battery holds a charge very well, and its charge lasts for months, even with continuous use. The thread zapper is an outstanding product that is light weight, easy to work with, and heats up quickly. Nothing but praise for this product that delivers excellent results. I highly recommend purchasing!

AWESOME little thread zapper!
Awesome for zapping off those fine pesky threads on my seed bead fringe earrings. I used to use a lighter but it was not as precise and was downright dangerous. This is SO much better. Super easy to use, holds a charge and recharged easily. Totally recommend!

Works well
Works great for leather working dacron thread, easy to recharge and comes with a spare cutting tip.

Easy to use for a beginner.
This charged up quickly and worked just fine. My first time using it to seal thread on a piece of leatherwork – made it easy.

Worth the price!
This works very well to get thread ends cut and smooth. From my experience it is miles ahead of generic thread burners. This one gets very hot very fast, effectively melting polyester thread, and it gets hot enough to keep the tip clean, unlike the generic ones whose tips clog constantly. It charges quickly relative to others and stays charged long enough for me to finish multiple threads on about 10-12 bracelets before needing charging, which is necessary as I work professionally with my craft. Other burners only let me complete about half that amount before needing to charge. Highly recommend! Make sure to use PPE and a fume collector.

Great thread burner, best I’ve used
This thing is impressive! Way more functional than the battery operated version. I absolutely love this thing. I will definitely buy another to keep on hand as a backup.I highly recommend this product! Great value for my money! Seems more durable than the battery operated version. Very easy to use.
It appears to be a great buy. Sturdy and easy to put together. The color is great. Hopefully it will be a lasting addison. –
