Thread burners, zappers and sealers are great tools to have when working with thread and cord. The Beadsmith’s Ultra Thread Zap is considered one of the safest thread burners. Perfect for beginners! The Zap tip heats up instantly with a touch of the ignition button. When ready to use, the tip glows red. The tip is also retractable, preventing any accidents to the user and the tip. Additionally, there is a safety clip positioned over the start switch to prevent the tool from being accidently turned on. The cautery pen has a really fine filament tip that makes precision burns on the finest threads and knots. This feature makes it ideal for making finishing touches on bead weaving and stringing projects. The tips are replaceable and, as a bonus, an extra tip is included in a storage unit located in the battery cover! The sealing tool is cordless and operated with 2xAAA (1.5V) batteries. When hot, the tip can trim, burn and melt threads with one touch. To use the Ultra Thread Zap remove safety clip, push button forward and hold. Tip will heat instantly. While continuing to push the button, briefly touch the thread where you want to cut, melt or burn it. Note: components in adjacent area may remain hot for 1-2 seconds. A note of caution – the tip gets extremely hot when the button is depressed. Keep away from children, flammable materials, and skin. Keep cap on when not in use. Not intended for children under 15. The ergonomic design of this tool provides a comfortable grip and a lot of control. Use this zapper in applications such as kumihmo, macrame and Chinese knotting. Complete your beading projects and jewelry with a professional finish.
