I have built many architectural models over my career as a student and I usually count on Xacto for making decent products.This one however, did not work.The solder tip screws in fine to the threaded barrel, but when you want to make precise cuts into styrofoam as I do, you physically CANNOT attach the knife attachment to the threaded barrel.This is supposed to work the same way a knife tightens by spinning the textured barrel, yet the screws are not long enough to secure the blade.Simply put, if you want a cheap soldering iron with a useless hot knife attachment that doesn't heat up enough to cut foam, buy this-if not, select another model.
