The BeadsmithThreadZap Craft Burner – Thread Zapper for Burning and Trimming Thread, 5.25 Inches, Finish Bead Weaving & Stringing Projects

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.

Every beader should have a working thread zapper! They are great devises to use in SOME instances. Do be careful to not go to deep into the beadwork, or you may melt too much of the thread, and have to remake the entire piece, however there are many instances where they work very well.When the zapper melts the nylon beading threads, it forms a tiny little ball of glue at the end of the thread. If you are working with glass beads, that system works great and keeps the thread right where you want it.DO NOT USE WITH PLASTIC BEADS! They melt. I use only glass or stone beads. Not for genuine pearls either.

I got this to cut fireline and other similar threads and I hate it. It's very cheaply made, and only gets just hot enough to cut the thread (when it works). The button is terrible. The only way I can think of to describe it is it feels spongy? There is no distinct click to let you know the mechanism has actuated, which doesn't matter if the devise works every time you press the button. But as the title of this review states, it doesn't. I found myself having to push the button multiple times or changing the way I hold it just to get the tip to heat up. Also you have to hold the thread quite tight to get it to cut through which isn't always easy when trimming the ends off of a project.Over all, it's not worth the money.

Good stuff, works great for Fly Tying and burning ends of furs and feathers !

Works as expected but it goes through batteries extremely fast. A rechargeable usb c version would be great, I would definitely buy one.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Making bracelets I needed to bring the fish line works fantastic

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

Works good
