And much like the soldering gun, this little jigger has such a broad range of applications that, while it's aimed at the do-it-yourself maker and crafter, its appeal is certainly not limited to this.

The Hanboost C1 wireless ultrasonic cutter can precisely slice through a vast array of materials – wood, plastics, leather, rubber, paper – silently, using 40,000 vibrations per second to make even the most fiddly jobs look easy. No tearing, no scratching or scoring, it just glides through calmly, slowly and with effortless precision.

The Hanboost C1 is designed to resemble a pen, with a tip that features an easily replaceable blade for smooth, accurate cutting. This makes it a handy tool for everyone from sculptors to 3D-printers and miniature model builders.

Three power modes let you adjust to the material you're working on, and a built-in LED light shines on the target, enabling use in low-light settings or when finicky projects require better eyesight than many of us are blessed with. Switching between modes is simple, and the straightforward interface makes it perfect for beginners to 'point and cut.'

"'Hanboost' is a word we made up from two words we loved: 'handy' and 'boost,'" write the makers, who have had four successful crowdfunding campaigns so far. "Every product we sell is driven by a desire to increase performance, ease of use, or productivity."

At just 250 g (or just under 9 oz), the wireless metal tool is free of the cables that typically burden these kinds of precision gadgets, and you'll get two- to three- hours of continuous use from its USB-C-charged 3,000-mAh battery.

Hidden hex wrench storage is handy for blade switching, and the C1 is designed to fit common blade types available in stores and online. So, you don't need to buy replacements from Hanboost (but, naturally, you can if you want).

Given its prodigious cutting power, there are also safety features built in – a two-second long press to power it up, to lower the risk of accidental use, and it will turn off after five minutes of inactivity, which also conserves the battery's charge. It also has a transducer for energy conversion and a titanium alloy amplifier with 'high-hardness' alloy chuck.
