Thread zapper?

[SUP]

I use the Thread zap too but I got mine from Temu. It's one third the price for the same thing but it takes about 8-10 days to arrive. It's working fine and mine came with a spare tip. 

I always compare products and prices between Amazon and Temu. More and more Temu items seem to be appearing on Amazon at  inflated prices.

I use the ThreadZap II to burn/trim all of my thread. They eat up AAs pretty quickly but the convenience is worth it. I find that mine heat up almost instantly to hot enough to trim any sewing thread I use. 

As others have said the tips are pretty fragile and they WILL eventually burn up but they're cheap enough and easy to replace from Amazon. 

@ArkieNewbieI needed to add, the gutta percha cutter comes with a base in which it recharges in. Win-win as batteries have become expensive.

I stitch several holsters at a time.  So I have a soldering iron plugged up on the nightstand while I stitch.  Got tired of fighting with the zappers and switched to the soldering iron.  If I was only doing one, the zapper might be better.  But sitting down and stitching 3-4 at a time, the soldering iron wins.
