Darice 11-Piece Studio 71 Metal-Tipped Sculpting Tools Set - Wood Handles for Cleaning and Creating Decorative Effects on Clay Surfaces

I've used this for sculpting with Crayola Air Dry ClayPros:- Extremely high quality of wood and metal used- Extremely easy to clean (does not trap clay in crevaces)- Feels like it should be priced much higher- Every tool (and more) that I'd need- Plastic Packaging is easy to open is durable enough to use as storage for the toolsCons:- None

EL set de herramientas esta bastante completo y tiene herramientas bastante utiles.La calidad es buena sin ser descacable aunque por el precio creo que la relacion es buena,Lo malo es el tiempo que tarda el producto en llegar, ya que al ser de china pense que ya no me llegaria por que se tardo mas de cuatro meses

These are great for any type of crafter or even as medical tools. The price is completely affordable right now, as it looks like there is a holiday sale, as well as a number of private sellers. These would make a splendid gift for someone, particularly if the wood handle were embossed. It looks like Amazon offers sellers who can accomplish this and I know there is a marketplace called Things Remembered, who does professional embossing. They also have storefronts in the US.The big difference between this set and others, is the wood handles. A number of Amazon reviewers have noted that they prefer this set to others, at a wide range of age levels.Many other sets on the marketplace are single medium, which means that they are all metal or all plastic (rarely all wood). Wood is much better to grasp than other mediums, as it is not harsh on the skin ( for example, you might notice a rough groove on your fingers where you were holding scissors ) and the finish on these is perfect, allowing anyone to be able to safely hold them in their hands. You won't get splinters. All metal handles tend to be harsh to hold and all plastic handles tend to have very little give and are not forgiving with wear and tear. This set is wood handles with metal toolheads. They are durable (toolheads should bend and not break if they are under too much pressure) and certain pieces are sharp with the right areas for smoother-rounded edges, as-is; and a professional toolsman or electrician could even modify the set for you, to make the tool heads removable, allowing for even more uses. For example, the tool head could be placed into an electrical spinner or rotary tool, as a burr, or the opposite end just removed to allow for more dexterity when using the tools. This 11-piece set is actually functional ( both as-is and modified ) as around a 25-piece set. Each piece itself has two sides to it, with each tool head sometimes being able to fulfill multiple functions (more on that shortly) and there are 3 types of surfaces that can be used for rolling.Printed on the back of the package you will find the following inventory label: My notes are as added here --1. Spearhead & Curved Tool - A sharp 4-sided diamond shape (pattern combinations include line, arrow, diamond) with a soft-sided oval ending in a point (pattern combinations include curved line, curved arrow, oval)2. Curved Blade & Large Spearhead Tool - A 3D oval and triangle larger than the spearhead with similar yet different pattern abilities.3. Angled & Curved Tool - A shoehorn shape angled in at the top and another shoehorn shape curved inward. Both edges and curved surfaces can create different patterns. Sort of like a spatula.4. Needle Point & Angled Tool - A non-hollow needle tip and flat surface that looks like a fingernail.5. Slightly Forked & Curved Flat Tool - Curved shoehorn shapes.6. Metal Wire Brush Tool - This is the tool that looks like white and black trees on each end with plastic wires pointing sideways, the white side will be softer, and has a wood handle7. Salt & Pepper Drill Tool - 2 drill tips, same diameter and pattern. Drill tips are different from burrs in that they are intended to drill into, while burrs are intended to sand outer surfaces.8. Needle Point & Curved Tool - A similar diameter non-hollow needle (necessary as a back-up as needle points often are required to be the same size for surgical precision purposes) and oval ending in a point.9. Curved & Loop Tool - An oval ending in a point and a tool head that looks like you might thread yarn through it. The loop tool can be used for threading, peeling, or to encase an isolated area.10. Spoolie Tool - A wire brush with ends pointing up and flat circle bottom at the opposite end. The only item with a metal handle.11. Slightly Forked & Spearhead Tool - A differing shoehorn and arrowhead.The wood handles all have the same thickness/density and look like rolling pins. The single metal handle item has two sides of textures, smooth metal and textured metal, for rolling and patterns and is about half the width of the other tools in the set.Here is a link to an Amazon review, with photos of the items in approximate order:https://www.amazon.com/review/ROPGB3XES855X/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001ED3JMS&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=2617941011&store=arts-craftsMy set is kept in a nice leather carrying case, after opening the package; which allows me to take the set with me. Having this personal set, wherever I go, is important to my expertise and ability to do all that I can do. Every crafts-person should have one. Each tool head included likely allows for the full spectrum of textures and patterns one could ever need and I would highly recommend that every medical professional add this to their set as well. There are a variety of sizes that would meet most minor surgical-type needs, making this the ideal set to add for both travel and at-home. They are both light-weight and sturdy.Here are some links to a small selection of the variety of additional uses for these tools:Dermatology: [...]Baking: [...]Wax Craft: [...]

très satisfaite

So here’s the deal I see a lot of people complaining in the comments that these “aren’t that great”, “they’re not that sturdy”, “they feel cheaply made”....But honestly I paid $6.63 for these and that is without a doubt a steal!!! I added pictures to show you the size compared to my hand. They’re the perfect size tool to use when creating anything with Clay. Honestly everyone of these little wooden tools I have used have done an exceptional job. Obviously they are a beginner set, If you are a clay sculpting master then these probably aren’t for you, But for the rest of us who are beginners with clay or artists who just like playing around with different mediums then these are a great set at an amazing price. I bought them to make a special gift for a family member for his birthday and they are exceeding all of my expectations. I don’t see how you could be disappointed in this purchase....It’s equivalent to two Dunkin’ Donuts coffee’s, just sayin.
