I have it and I love it. What I don't love is the stand - get something else to put it in while it's hot - but it's a great tool!

I agree with Lydia. I never was drawn to doing shaker cards, now I love them, it's a breeze! It's so simple to use, and it seems like I don't have to use as much "filling" as I did with acetate. I haven't had issues with my stand, it's on the stiff side, but then, I got mine on HSN, and picked the purple color, so I don't know if that matters. They could have done better with that part. I do use it with a piece of tile underneath, just in case, so that may be helpful.

You can get the Fuse Tool in a bundle kit with four tips and lots of goodies for $34.95. It's a pretty good deal, We R Memory Keepers Fuse with Ultimate Accessory Bundle and Card Kit - 7780769 | HSN you may want to check it out!

It's a great tool, the updated sets with accessories look good. You may not use it everyday but when you want to make a custom page protector or a mini album for a page or a shaker card, it's the best.

I have the one by We R Memory Keepers and I am finally able to make shaker cards. Before, I would spend HOURS trying to make one (before I had this tool) so this makes it super easy. The trick is to letting it heat up a full 10 minutes then it works great.

I have one. I have made storage pockets from page protectors. Cheap and since I store in two different size bins, I can make the size needed. Mostly two to a page. I had started by using the serated wheel, but learned that the point tip sealed both sides of divide and cut at the same time. Made my work quicker and neater. Love it. Yes, the small stand is a pain. Too flimsy. They do have an accessory mat with a holster pocket for the tool. Counter space is a problem for me, but I think a friend bought it for my birthday and I am going to love it.

WoW! Thanks for all the good reviews. I don't think I've seen such positive things about a product. And good ideas. Ordering it.

I am a little confused. Do you need special paper to use this tool?

They use it on plastic page protectors and materials like that. I'm thinking of buying....

Okay, here's an odd question--the separate tools (like the cutting wheel) can those fit on a Wood Burner tool? I have a Walnut Hollow heat multi-tool that takes 'points' that are threaded and screw into the tool. Has anyone tried the WRMK Fuse tool bits in something different than the WRMK tool? Thank you!
