What we liked

  • + 18 tools cover carving, cutting, trimming, modeling and smoothing, with several double-ended pieces that add extra shapes
  • + Stainless steel working ends on wooden handles, described as sharp and sturdy enough for ceramic and polymer clay
  • + Zipper tool bag keeps the whole set together between sessions and makes it easy to carry to a class

Trade-offs

  • - A basic assortment with fewer pieces than the 30-piece kits, so some specialty shapes are missing
  • - Listing advises against soaking the tools for more than about 1.5 hours, so the wooden handles need prompt drying
