SE 12-Piece Stainless Steel Wax Carvers Set, Wax & Clay Sculpting Tools, Double Ended Carving Kit for Modeling, Sculpting and Shaping, Silver - DD312

Everything was great meet my expectations arrived in time

Amazing tools, not as sharp as expected

I received my tools in a timely manner and am very pleased with my purchase!!

Totally not what I was expecting! I didn't realize how much of a variety and what good sized tools this set has! Each tool is about 6" long with two different tips; one on each end. I purchased these for sculpting with Super Sculpey and Apoxie. I haven't tried them out yet but I was very pleased at the quality and variety for only $7.50! Also was not expecting them to come with a case. (Although I did get rid of the case b/c the tools kinda poked their way thorough the bottom and it's pretty useless. But whatever, I didnt pay for the case...I paid for the tools).Yes, some have marks, blemishes, some minor rust spots and some scuffsYes, the case is pretty uselessYes, they are not eye blindingly shinyBut they are just rugged TOOLS and will be destroyed when I'm done with them anyway! If you look at one of my other used clay tools, you'll KNOW it's used. I don't think the other reviewers that gave a poor review got used tools. They are probably just flawed from the factory or aged from sitting on the shelf. They are most likely not handled gently in the storing and shipping process since they're just metal tools. Mine still had the little red plastic covers on three picks and I don't feel any rough spots on the tool tips where it matters.I am super happy with this set. They're metal, sturdy and it contains a huge variety to choose from to get better sculpting detail all for just $7.50! Totally worth it.I'm going to quote what another reviewer on here said b/c it's very true:"If you just need a variety of sculpting shapes and don't care what they look like, you really can't beat this for the price."

Got for altering miniatures. High quality and diverse set

A complete set, professional presentation in plastic pliable case. Tools seem to be of high quality.

very nice selection good quality

I've been using this tools for a few years now and I can say they are absolutely the best. The a re sturdy, stay clean without too much hassle, and have excellent grip. My hands often get sweaty, especially my palms, and I often have a hard time holding small tools for long periods of time - that's why I decided to buy this set. I saw the grooved hand grips and thought "My sweaty hands could use a nice grip". I was right and I can say with confidence they do NOT slip out of my hands when I need to use them for long periods of time. There are a lot of different head tip shapes to choose to use and some I use a lot more than others so maybe the selection is a little overkill but for a price like that you can't complain. I've never had a problem with the tools bending or giving way under pressure which has been a problem for me in the past when buying tools like these. I prefer the stainless steel over wooden body because of the way it feels (much more sturdy in your hands) and the grip as I mentioned before. They stay clean as long as you rinse them in hot water when you're finished with your project. Other carvers that I've bought in the past often get dirty in the grip areas and you can never get them clean but these are fairly easy to maintain. Would definitely tell other people to buy this set over most others. There are some competitors out there at this price but they don't have the selection that this set does.
