The New Hot Knife is Puffco's heated loading tool, and the brand helped popularise this small category. Plenty of concentrate users keep one to hand.

The Hot Knife is most useful with sticky, gooey extracts like rosin, live resin and sauce. Stable formats such as shatter and dry crumble lift cleanly with the cold pick that most rigs already include. This tool is at its best with a small chamber and a load of rosin. That is exactly the material that clings to a cold metal pick instead of releasing cleanly.

The rounded, glazed ceramic tip is the reason this tool exists. Press and hold the button to warm the tip, then touch the tip to your concentrate. The material releases in about three seconds and lands where you place it.

Warmth travels through the ceramic and loosens the extract, the way sunshine softens sap on bark. Sticky material no longer pulls into threads or clings to the tool. Your fingers stay clean, and so does the rim of the jar.

The tip is temperature-tuned at the factory. It is warm enough to move the material, but not so hot that the material's aroma is lost on the way to the chamber. The glaze and the rounded shape are there for one purpose: more concentrate ends up in the chamber and less on the tool.

The tip places material on the centre of the chamber floor. Chambers that heat from the sidewalls work best when the load sits in that spot. Anything smeared up the walls burns off before you get to it.

Owners of small chambers gain the most. In a tiny chamber, material placed off centre is simply wasted. Nothing gets scraped up the sidewalls, and nothing is left stuck to the tool.

The Hot Knife works with any brand. It loads a traditional rig just as easily as an electronic concentrate chamber.

The Hot Knife has one button and no screen. Press and hold to heat the tip, then release to stop. A single tuned temperature means there are no settings to choose.

Triple-click the button and it shows you the battery level - a two-second check before you head out. An LED next to the button stays lit while the tool charges.

The body is sturdier than the original's, so you have the leverage to pry material loose. You can lift it straight out of the jar instead of pushing it around inside.

The cap pushes on with a secure fit and has a lanyard loop. The tool can hang off a bag and travel with a portable rig. A lanyard cord is not included.

The tip was reshaped and glazed so more concentrate ends up in the chamber and less of it clings to the tool. The body is sturdier for scooping, and the cap now fits more securely and adds a lanyard loop.

The button now does more, too: hold to heat, or triple-click for a battery reading. A charging LED sits beside it. The tool charges over USB-C, with a full charge in as little as 25 minutes.

The controls are straightforward. The only habit worth learning is short taps on the button while you carry a load.

1. Charging: Plug in the included USB-C cable. The LED beside the button lights while the tool charges.
2. Battery check: Triple-click the button before you leave the house or before a long loading session.
3. Heating: Pull off the cap, then press and hold the button to warm the ceramic tip.
4. Picking up: Touch or scoop the concentrate straight from the jar. The body gives you leverage to lift the material out.
5. Carrying: Press and release the button in short bursts on the way to the chamber. That keeps the concentrate from vaporising on the tip.
6. Placing: Touch the tip to the centre of the chamber floor. The material slides off in about three seconds.
7. Finishing: Release the button and push the cap back on for travel. There is no chamber to empty out.

Charging runs over USB-C. A full charge takes as little as 25 minutes, roughly the length of a coffee break. A short top-up while you do something else is usually enough.

The box holds the tool, a USB-C cable and the cap. A wall plug is not included.

Add a fast charger (sold separately) and the included cable will plug into any mains socket, at home or in a hotel room.
