We R Memory Keepers - Fuse Tool

I am so happy I found this tool! It arrived only yesterday, but I already managed to fuse over 20 plastic bags (made of celophane) which were just too big for my needs. This tool can be used with celophane foil and bags which is a big advantage - you may use it to make custom celophane pockets/bags of any size and they will look like factory-made bags. The line fused with fuse tip is very narrow, but it is strong enough to keep my bag sealed.I read very carefully the review with the safety issue and I would like to confirm that with the UK version of this tool one has to be much more careful than with the US one due to a missing metal collar. I use this tool on a very stable base - the kitchen table - which is excellent for this purpose - I can be sure that the tool will not fall off from the tiny stand, because entire cable is placed on the table. Anyway I agree that the US version is designed in a better and more secure way.

Useful but a bit small for many crafts could be larger

Uk to USA difference is USA has two prong electrical plug vs uk three prong. 120 or 240 volts respectively.The Holder is standard design used successfully by many different brands, in many countries across the world. Something the company must supply with hot tools.Common sense implies this is hot work, and used respectively.Simple risk assessment should be practiced.i.e. is this hot? Yes... provide/use protective items safety glasses, heatproof gloves, use in well lit and even surface. Ensure, ventilated area. Monitor those using to ensure safety.Option for those on tight budget... DIY Reflector plate (cut from soda can)and stand can be crafted easily (from single wire hanger). Many YouTube or the like videos showing how...However, I strongly suggest “The accessory Matt w/pocket” is a must. Or any heat safe silicone matt with pocket to hold the tool is equally sufficient. E.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holster-silicone-multiply-multi-coloured-15-1/dp/B00N9LUYRQ/ref=lp_1710014031_1_2?srs=1710014031&ie=UTF8&qid=1526556473&sr=8-2&th=1The tools work for scrapbooking, album pocket making, crafts and momento storage...plus much more.The stand is not the hazard, nor is fuse tool... users get burned when failing to operate properly. Definitely not for use with small children or those with pets in crafting area.

I love this tool! Using it for shaker bookmarks, tags and cards. Took me about an hour trying out different page protector sheets to get the hang of it. I found the thicker ones worked better than the cheaper thin ones. Just remember to press down hard with your ruler. The plastics need to be touching to get a good seal. Put some pressure on the tool and don't go too fast or too slow. I only had it yesterday and have made 2 luggage tags, 2 bookmarkers and 6 Christmas tags. Great tool!

I looked and looked to see if they would fit a standard heat tool/wand and only found people saying no only fit the official tool but i was sure they would it looked rightI have a heat tool for setting hotfix gems (its a cheap Chinese generic and definitely was a soldering iron in a previous design) but the threads fit perfectlyIm so happy its odd that you only get 2 with the official tool and they are repeated in this pack so you would end up with duplicates its not like its something that wears out very odd decision by wrmkBut as it turns out I am lucky enough to get all 4The best tip i can give is to really let it heat up and keep a scrap to test with before you use it on your actual project

A great way to make sure your additions are kept safe without having to purchase expensive custom inserts for your binder!

The little wheel tip doesn't work. As much as I've tried,it just doesn't roll properly. Would roll like couple of centimetres and then would got stuck and would rip off the sheet.I have tried on a tempered glass mat ,on a silicon mat and even on the self healing mat, still doesn't work properly. I have tried different plastic sheets , different textures ...still doesn't work.I have left it to heat up for one hour ,still doesn't work right.So I am sure the tip is faulty.I have no intention to get thru the hassle of returns for such a little thing. But again it looks like I have bad luck,i can't find the spare tips .If I go on Google and I would search for the spare tips it appears like it is a item by WRMK called Fuse tips ,but when I would click on it and would direct me to Amazon ,it's only US Amazon but not UK / Europe etc .I really , really don't like to be difficult but I am running out of options. So I would give it only one star for now.And the The Fuse HOLDER it FIRE HAZARD!!!It's that bad designed that I would like to warning everyone to not use it . Not safe at all. Use a mug to hold it in.

Not too impressed, needed lots of practice to get a reasonable seal and then not always perfect
