Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the ease of use of the yarn tool. They say it is incredibly simple in its construction and makes finishing bracelets so much simpler than using a lighter. However, some customers have reported issues with the heat of the tool. The tip of the product may not get hot enough to burn the thread evenly, and it can take 5 minutes to heat up. Customers also have different opinions on performance, and quality.

1. Arrived non-functioning due sloppy, shoddy construction causing a loose connection to battery. After futzing with it and adding spacers to seat the battery, it heated up.
2. EATS batteries. I do leather work and use this type of tool to melt thread ends after stitching. After a few uses (5 maybe) and then it start to not heat up, or partially heat - but not hot enough to melt threads, or heat for a few seconds and then stops heating. Put in a new battery and it is (sort of) good for another 5ish uses.
3. The heating element is so flimsy that it bends and twists with the slightest pressure.
The Good:
1. It comes with a cap to protect the useless element.
UPDATE:
Reported this vendor to Amazon. Vendor “responds” with a link back to Amazon’s Customer Service page and back into the dead end of trying to get a refund for a NON-RETURNABLE item. There is no option for replacement or refund. Amazon, I bought this from YOU! YOU should refund my purchase.
02/11/2022 UPDATE
With no response from the vendor, and figuring I’ve nothing more to loose, I decided to see if I could analyze the problem with this thread zapper. After closely inspecting the battery cap, I noticed that the cap, though tight, was not screwing all the way down causing the small metal contact ring from making full contact with the metal barrel of the zapper. Using some small pliers I was able to get the battery cap to screw down tightly and completing the circuit with the metal barrel. NOW, the zapper works! I’ve been using it for the past week and find it, as expected, useful. I’ve updated my rating to a 3, acceptable, but with the caveat that the buyer should not have to force plastic parts with pliers to make them work.

Works very well, and makes a tidier job than using a lighter
