Designed to cut thread by burning (melting) it. Perfect for finishing cut thread ends that fray, such as nylon beading thread or light polyester cord. Also great for trimming thread ends that are short, but still stick out from finished jewelry. This is a powerful little tool - we suggest that you test a sample piece of the thread you are using to determine how fast it burns/melts before you use the tool on your work. Tips on this tool are long lasting, but are replaceable if you eventually need to. Requires a AA Battery, not included. Packaged by Beadsmith. Sold indivdually.
A few people have reported that the tip on this tool becomes loose and sometimes loose enough to fall out. This is easily remedied by very gently bending the two bottom ends of the tip away from each other a bit, then re-inserting into the tool.
This tool can be used on the ends of thicker cords such as Rattail to stop fraying, but it takes longer than with thin cord such as beading thread.
