Product Description

PRO-1 HOT KNIFE - Finally, professionals in insulated concrete forms, General Insulation & (EIFS), Warehouse Packaging, Set & Prop Building, and Architectural Model Making get the right tool at the right price with the PRO-1 Hot Knife. Set to roll out in the fall of 2005, TL Marshall Company re-vamped the Crafter's Hot Knife and took it from hobby grade to heavy duty with premium upgrades ready to tackle most any industrial job. The most distinguishing difference of The PRO-1 Hot Knife is the rigid, 5-1/2" Stainless Steel blade construction without attachments. It slices cleanly through high-density foam, insulated concrete forms, wax and other materials that melt. An improved injection molded, easy grip handle allows a firm grip without twisting the wrist. The vent system in the mid-section dissipates heat and prevents overheating in the blade and handle. The upgraded three-prong plug & heavy duty cord delivers the power of three heat settings and maintains up to 700 degrees fahrenheit temperatures consistently for up to 48 hours. Unit includes stand and sled. "We knew we had something good when we hit the market four years ago with our hobby market hot knife and now our new PRO-1 Hot Knife will be making it's mark in construction," says TL Marshall Company president, Lorraine Marshall. "The simple, single-blade design effectively cuts wiring channels through insulated concrete forms and carves electrical boxes by using the flat of our 5/8 inch blade. We took the durability of our Stainless Steel blade and combined it into a new tool that won't shut off to cool and is hot enough to do the job quickly & effectively." Seasoned builders, packagers, & serious hobbyists now have a professional hot knife to meet their diverse needs at an affordable price. Get it while its HOT!

Customer Reviews

Amazing tool!
I work at a high school that goes ALL OUT for Spirit Week decorations, and most of them are made of 1- to 2-inch styrofoam. This cutter was indespensible as we sliced our way through sheet after sheet (after sheet after sheet!) of styrofoam. It is worth every penny if you have cut lots of styrofoam. However, it's important to keep in mind that melting styrofoam gives off noxious fumes, so it's vital to work in an extremely well ventilated area!

hot knife
I used it to burn lines in my stryofoam basement walls for electric wire, it took along time to burn a groove 7 foot long by 2 inch gap for the wire. The handle broke before I was half way done using it. I had to take it to a welder and have it spot welded back together
