Has Anyone Tried A Crafters Hot Knife?

I found this website while looking for a foam cutting tool. I found this:
www.craftershotknife.com. Anyone know anything about this product?
TIA

Yes, I love these knives and they are available a Michaels. I use it to cut foamcore boards for my cakes.
Cookie 4, the websites briefly mentions about using this knife to cut frozen icecream cakes or on BC cakes. Wouldn't the temp of the knife be too hot for BC?

I LOVE my hot knife. I only use it to cut foamcore board! Cuts like butter. When using a regular x-acto knife I would always get a dirty cut, or the board would not be a even circle......if that makes sense...

I think mine was $30 at Joann's but I used a 50% off coupon. Hubby is jealous of mine because it has more tips than his. I'm keeping it hidden just in case he gets any funny ideas about his rights to use it. LOL
ok, yall sold me...is this the one at michaels that you have?

If you get the one called "styro cutter" like this:

at Joanns, you'll also be able to use it to cut through dummies.
OMG! Thanks for the info. I want to cut grooves in one of my cel boards for flowers, I never use the thing. I thought if I slashed small grooves I could roll fondant petal with wires. I have stop experimenting, it gets the best me(LOL)!

My mistake, I got mine at Michael's, not Joann's. It's this one:

I will say, the tip gets loose a lot more often than I like. I keep a pair of pliers with the kit so I can tighten it as I go.
Hamsquad I have the one that Metria is talking about and I don't care for it at all. Its like an Xacto knife that heats up. The blades loosen up while using it and they get wobbly. I feel is not very safe. I wanted to throw it away! On the other hand, the one you're talking about looks much better and even though it is more expensive, looks like it is a much better and safer tool. I'll be ordering it. Just my $.02 worth. Thanks for the info.!
