SculpeyTools Clay Extruder 20 piece set, die cast steel construction, Great for DIY projects using polymer oven-bake clay, great for all skill levels

Works well on my clay projects. Easy to change the strainer plates. Pretty easy to clean up.

Hurts my hand when using it a lot

I use this for clay, and it works very well. Comes with several different discs for different extruded shapes and sizes. Make sure to clean thoroughly so they don’t get clogged. Easy to take apart and clean.

I'm not going to sugar coat this review. This clay extruder is torturous on someone with arthritic hands or suffering from any kind of hand/nerve damage like my carpal tunnel. Even my husband with good hands exclaimed how difficult it was to express clay with this. So no doubt you're wondering WTF did I buy it?Simply put:1. No O rings to replace.2. No screw threads to end up stripped by heavy use.3. Easy to clean with very few parts.4. Discs were very well made and heavy duty.I leave mine warming over an LED bulb, my tablet fan or just sit on it and that makes hand extruding easier. To make things even easier than simply warming everything up like a T.V. dinner, I am getting a high thrust ratio caulk gun to use with this tool. If looking to put this in a caulk gun, use one that is specifically for high viscosity caulk.Update 1/21/19: Makins extruder discs do NOT FIT in this extruder!

I bought this for fondant molding. I wish I would have looked around because some of them have a bar that twists around for extruding the clay/fondant. I wouldn't say that I am weak, but this thing gave my wrist pain and was really hard to get the fondant out (even with warming it and adding shortening to the fondant).Update: This is useless for fondant and I would bet hard to use on clay too. I found one that has a corkscrew bar that has a lever that spins around... MUCH easier to usr than this! Don’t waste your money! Buy the other one!

Great product. What discs I did receive worked well with my modeling chocolate project.Unfortunately some of the discs were lost when the packaging opened and the box that contained it had a large crack because the box wasn't tapped. I believe this may have been avoided if the item had been better inspected before being placed in the box for delivery. A little tape goes a long way.But I had a project that needed to be done asap and I didn't have time to reorder. This product helped me achieve the modeling on a birthday cake for my husband (see pic).

Arrived in a timely manner. Was very easy to use. Will be buying more from this company.

this is really useful for working with polymer clay. you can do many exciting techniques with the clay. the only problem i have with it is that it is very hard to push the clay out except for very soft clay. but i have arthritis and weak hands so i just use a rag and a pair of large pliers to depress the plunger.
