NEW UPDATE: Did not last long
06/03/22 Update: I have grown to love this product. It keeps threads close to the fabric/vinyl. I found that the one that I received was faulty. I purchased a 2nd one (because everything deserves a 2nd chance.) I have grown to love this product. I use it dailyI really liked this product when I got it. It worked well since I bought it but today, not even a year, it no longer works. :( Well I guess for 17 dollars what did I expect. Maybe for casual use it will be okay. But, daily, use not so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Thread Zapper I have ever used!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023

I use this tool for melting the ends of braided poly stitching cord on the leather items I make.
This is the best I have found. It heats up instantly, melts the cord quickly and neatly. The added bonus is that it comes with an extra replacement tip that is stored right in the device. And the price was very reasonable. Who could ask for more?!?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome tool for your beading/sewing basket
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016
Verified Purchase
This thing is awesome. I wish the safety clip didn't fully detach from the body, and because I keep dropping the clip on the floor and have to chase it down, I almost knocked off a star. But it's MILES better than the previous version because the element retracts back in the body when you're done. And if you don't have kids around or you keep it so it can't be accidentally activated, the safety clip isn't all that important. I travel with mine in a beading case, so I want the safety back on after each time I use it. Guess I could remove the batteries, but that seems more trouble than chasing the clip across the floor... All in all a great little thread burner!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great; keep a supply of batteries
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022

First off - the really good.
This thing heats nearly instantly, glows red hot, and goes through thread like it isn't even there. The thread seals, and melts, and you get a good solid end to your stitching. It fits in the hand well, and I love that there is a little spot for a spare wire in the battery compartment. You're probably going to need it.

The less good
This is a consequence of how hot it gets, and how well it works - it eats AAA batteries like Pez. I work with leather and need to trim a fair bit of thread on a regular basis. I swap out batteries a lot. Really, this is what led me to search for a rechargeable option.
The next thing is that the wire is super thin. Probably a good thing, and it is protected when not in use, by retracting into the body. But it is really thin. It bends and distorts easily, and I suspect mine is going to break soon, which is why I am glad I have the spare. With that said....
The spare wire in the battery compartment gets beaten up when I go to remove the battery compartment cover. I have smashed the wire into the body of the unit, more than once, even when I try to be careful opening it. So far, I have been able to bend my spare wire back into place without trouble, but, it is worrisome.

So, in summary, if you are going to use it occasionally, or you don't mind replacing batteries, you'll love how well this works. Really, great tool. You might want to consider squirrelling away the spare wire, just for the sake of not beating on it, but, it works really really well.

It swapping out batteries bugs you, you might want to look at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2QNG388?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. It is USB rechargeable, has a more substantial wire, and, while it doesn't glow red hot, it gets hot enough to melt the thread.
