5Weller Hot Knife BladeJul 01, 2007
By David Price
This blade works very well, particularly with the Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 180W, ITEM 4328-0VGA, soldering gun. This gun heats up much more rapidly than the Weller. However, if you are going to use this for more prolonged use than a few isolated rope searings, the Harbor Freight gun may be too powerful.

5My rope cutting buddyJan 26, 2012
By Jeremy Sholovitz
I purchased this tip for 3 reasons:

1) I need to cut nylon and polypropylene rope
2) I already owned a Weller soldering gun, and
3) I really wanted a nice rope cutting tool like this:Pearson Electric Rope Cutter, but couldn't possibly justify the price for my needs.

Once I got it, I found that it does exactly what you think it does: it cuts rope, and does so relatively well. Once it's hot, it cuts through both nylon and polypropylene rope, even fairly heavy rope, with relative ease - and nicely melts both ends to seal and prevent fraying/unraveling of the rope.

Besides that it does what it's supposed to do, another positive is that it's much safer than using a match, lighter, candle, or torch to melt and seal the ends of the rope. Nobody really enjoys having hot liquid nylon drip onto their bare skin!

There are a few things that you should be aware of:

1) It takes a little while (perhaps 45-60 seconds) for the tip to heat up to good working temperature from a cold start. I am sometimes impatient, and forget this... but if I prepare my work correctly, I'll get the tip hot and do several cuts consecutively while holding the gun trigger to keep it hot.

2) Over time, I have found that it tends to collect burnt rope residue. This was a minor annoyance at best, however - it takes just a few seconds to scrape the hot blade with a flat-bladed screwdriver to clean it for further use.

3) It requires some degree of coordination to hold a rope to be cut with one hand, and the soldering gun with this tip in the other hand, and to make good clean cuts. But if I was able to do it, most people should also be successful. Some people may find better success laying the rope to be cut on a piece of scrap wood, so they can cut through with this tip and risk only heat marks on the scrap.

If you have large volumes of rope cutting to do and/or will use the tool on a daily basis, I can strongly recommend the rope cutter I linked to above - it's great. But if you already own a soldering gun and will use it only occasionally - this could be just the tool for you. For the price, why not give it a try?

It was definitely worth it for me!

5Works great. Does what its intended to do.Jul 06, 2011
By mbj
I used this with the Weller 8200 soldering gun it is manufactured for. It heats quickly and cut cleanly through 5/8" three-strand marine-quality nylon anchor line (rhode). There was no noticeable wear to the blade. Nice, much cheaper alternative to a dedicated hot knife apart from a little discoloration from the burned nylon. Does what its intended to do.

3Or you could make your own tipFeb 19, 2011
By M. Green
It's easy to take a piece of copper Romex house wiring, cut a 6 inch piece, strip off the insulation and use the bare copper wire in your Weller soldering gun to make your own tip. I have done this before in a pinch when I broke the tip and it worked so well I stopped buying replacement tips. Now, I always make my own tips from solid copper wire. It's easy enough to try, so make one yourself and see if you like it!

5It worksAug 21, 2011
By E. P. Desrochers
I am a boater and do a lot of work with nylon line and strapping. This is great for cutting and end sealing nylon - one step solution.
