Yes, works fairly well. I have used this one myself and also have taken it to middle school for use by the Science Olympiad students.
The cautery tip will still accumulate a little plastic and require occasional cleaning, but less so than the soldering iron. I think that this one came from Tim Goldstein. The late Dr. Hacker also used to provide some cauterizers at the USIC.

... for trimming plastic film, that is? So far I have been using a
soldering iron, and it seems to collect some molten plastic on the tip.
Does a cauterizer work better, or will the hot wire be covered by the
plastic, too?

Thx,
