I've got this one ... hot knife.
Probably bought it with a coupon so less than $20. Used it a few times to cut the hot end of my 3D printer out of a plastic glob malfunction. Seems to work well enough. Temperature can be controlled (for various definitions of 'controlled') with the knob. Not instant-on. More like minute-on. It is as sturdy as it looks ... as in NOT ... but with rational use is robust enough to get the job done.
The challenging part of process is cleaning it up afterwards. I just wipe it down with a paper towel while it is still hot and I am sober enough to not burn myself.
