ROMECH 60W Fabric Cutter Rope Cutter, Pro Electric Hot Knife Heat Sealer with Adjustable Power, Cutting Tool Kit with Blades & Accessories (60W, RM-017)

The media could not be loaded. This hot knife is GREAT! It cuts very fast. The temperature control dial is certainly hard to read, but the light flickers when temperature is on low setting, and is solid when on high setting. So, once this is understood, it's somewhat intuitive to adjust temperature up and down based on the flickering frequency. And this works fine, since every material is different and having numbers on the dial probably wouldn't help much either.The fan comes on only when trigger is pulled, and is very quiet. Some of the other videos I saw of this in use made me think it would be a loud tool. It's definitely not. And the tool hasn't overheated at all, and has been cutting through everything like butta.It is certainly annoying though that this tool does not fit in its own case when the cutting blade is attached. So, I used the tool to modify the case, and it now fits just fine.This review is for: ROMECH 100W Air Cooled Fabric Cutter Rope Cutter, Pro Electric Hot Knife Heat Sealer with Adjustable Power, Cutting Tool Kit with Blades & Accessories (100W Air Cooled, RM-015)

Used this to cut Sattler Marine Grade Fabric for a wheel cover for my boat. Worked great. No issues at all. I would buy again.

My son loves it.

Tricky to cut out tight circles accurately.

I wish I had purchased this sooner! I have made numerous items out of Sumbrella, and always had an issue with edges fraying. This tool allowed me to make a complete Bimini top with no fraying edges at all. It cut through the material easily, and was very simple to use. Very simple to cut right wher I wanted too, much easier than attempting to do with scissors. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the one with adjustable heat, if not careful the blade does get too hot and makes the edge black. Contrary to previous reviews the gun fits perfectly in the case with the blade and guard attached. Overall I would recommend this to anyone.

It stated this is a frequently returned item but I must say, it works great! Gets hot very quickly and cuts clean.

I do mostly marine upholstery and that includes canvas covers for boats. Canvas will fray really badly when cut with scissors but if you cut it with a hot knife, it seals the edges. This is great for canvas. it gets super hot so burns well but its small enough for a little handed person like myself to easily use it. I also like that it comes with a guard so I can place it flat and cut/burn away. I do use something under it that won't burn just to make sure I'm protecting my cutting surface but I don't really have to.

Didn’t work for us the way we expected it. The fabric ended up all glued to each other then had to use a cutter to separate which ended up fraying all the material. Which is what we did not want. Will return.
