The Beadsmith Ultra Thread Zap, Thread Burner, 3 inches, Push Button, Battery Operated (2xAAA), Trim, Burn and Melt thread with one touch

Great product which does a great job.

Great value!

Got this today, was very excited to use it, threw in some batteries, touched the tip, which got nice and hot real quick, to my s-lon cord and it IMMEDIATELY blew out the filament!! Didn't even burn through the string.So I put in the replacement tip, used it four times on one bracelet, worked perfect! Beautiful clean burn.Got around to bracelet two and the third burn in the filament blew out AGAIN!!!!In under fifteen minutes I used up BOTH tips. How?How does this have such good ratings?! This is a terrible, awful, waste of space product. How is anyone supposed to get anything done if you have to replace the tips constantly??I, and likely anyone looking at these reviews, would probably be better off just using a lighter. 100% going to return this.0/10, would strongly advise you NOT to waste money on this!!!!

I was only able to use twice. Stored it without batteries for a month or so. Went to use it with me batteries and it didn't work.

This is my second thread burner. Works great.

I love the functionality of it, the way the filament is protected while it's not being used, but on the very first project, as i melted down the cut ends of wildfire thread it made a tiny 'tink' sound and no longer would melt them. Upon inspection there is a tiny split in the filament. It's great a spare is included, didn't expect to need it quite so soon! Looks like I had best stock up because even with this failure, well, I am hoping its just a fluke and not the norm! Great design, ergonomic, fits smaller hands and little to no strength to work the spring switch.

I really like this unit so far I am on my 5th one, in less then a year. It fits your hand nice it does at great job. The problem is its not built to last long. I repair my own units so I get a lot longer use out of them then the average person. You can open the case if you are careful and will find that a wire has come off. This wire needs to be resolidered back on. Then you close the unit and put a little tape around it to keep the two halfs together. There you go, back in business. Before you do this don't forget to remove the batterys. If you don't you my get burned. the batterys must go in so that when you are looking at the back of the battery compartment right side + must face back and the left battery +must face to the front. Hope this helps some of you to get a little more life out of your units. If you are not mechanically inclined have someone else do it for you.

Muy buen equipment, cumple sus objetivos
