I have to use my plasma lighter at the moment to zap unruly thread's. The Thread Zapper Ultimate is a brilliant device and it's cheaper to replace the heads.
The other version is highly recommend. It's a shame they're not rechargeable like my lighter that I got to singe the thread's but burns the material. I got it for my resin craft, too. Anyway, I got this product and the sister product. The Ultimate takes two AAA batteries and the Zapper II takes one A batteries.
If they were rechargeable that would have been better. Anyway, it's a suggestion and a compartment for extra tips.
