Tirrito KANXINER Die-Cut Machine Review: Our Shop?
6-Pc Hot Wire Foam Cutter Review: Right for Our Shop?
On our workbench, foam is either a dream material or a messy headache—and the 6 Pcs Foam Cutter Electric Hot Wire Cutter Pen Tools Kit promises more of the former. With three hot-wire pens (4", 6", and 8") plus a stand and a 110–220V, 36W digital voltage adaptor, it feels aimed at makers who bounce between quick prototypes and detailed craft cuts. We noticed right away that the adjustable voltage invites experimentation: low heat for gentle curves, higher settings for faster passes through thicker foam board. The real question for our shop isn’t whether it cuts—hot wire cutters usually do—but whether it cuts cleanly, consistently, and comfortably enough to justify another tool claiming a permanent spot.

BENECREAT Bead Board Review: Right Tool for Our Shop?
In our search for a bead board that keeps projects moving (and loose beads from staging a great escape), we put the BENECREAT Wood Bead Design Board to work in our shop. The long oval-rectangle shape feels purpose-built for bracelets, with channels that help us line up patterns quickly and check spacing before we commit to stringing. We also appreciated the chakra pattern—not flashy, but visually grounding when we’re sorting colors and working through design variations. At 15.7 x 3.9 inches, it’s slim enough to sit beside our tools without taking over the table, yet roomy enough for multi-bead layouts. The real question: does it streamline our workflow, or is it just another “nice-to-have”?
