Ribs

Quality:

This Small Rib is made of a nice soft durable material. It’s the softest of all the ribs, which makes it the most flexible. It holds up great under normal use. Still has no cracks after many many hours of use.

Ease of Use:

They made this Rib to use all four edges. The smaller end is excellent for hard-to-reach spots. The larger end is great for rounded corners. The rounded side works well when shaping bowls. The curved side is excellent for rounding out the outside of your piece. It works well with clay molding and shaping beautifully, also smoothing the clay nicely without making marks.

Other features:

The  Sherrill Red Rib Mudtool has such a nice shape to it that you will find yourself using it far more than you imagined. It is my go-to rib.

I like the hole in the middle; it really helps give you good control over the rib while your fingers are wet.
The fact that it’s small is nice because it fits easily in small cylinders and other small areas. I also love that These rubber ribs come in different sizes.

The Ultimate Edger

Quality

This tool is Very Durable, with 20-gauge steel it doesn’t bend. I like the sturdy feel of the edger in my hands. This is important especially when you have thrown a beautiful piece of pottery, you don’t want to mess up as you are putting the edges on.

Ease of Use

Is listed as a six-in-one tool. I would say it’s at least a 7 in one and probably more. I use The Ultimate Edger on most of my pieces. Rounding the tip of a bowl or carving a foot on a mug takes practice, the Ultimate Edger makes it fast and easy.

The best thing about this tool is the different things you can do with it.

  • Round out squared edges on the lip of your pottery.
  • Put a nice raised edge on a lid or pot.
  • Makes attractive nobs.
  • Creates a single edge to the foot of your piece.
  • Makes a nice rounded shape on the lip of your larger pottery.
  • Puts a double edge on the base of your mug, pot, vase, etc…

Other features

The Ultimate Edger not only helped me to easily to do rims and feet but it also can be used for textures and adding some cool designs to your pieces.

I liked the Ultimate Edger so much that I wrote an in-depth article about how to use one, which you can check out in The Ultimate Edger- Pottery Tool Review.

Double-Ended Trim Tool

Quality

This six-inch Japanese-style Double Ended Trim Tool has a large hook that gives you more area to cover and a spade shape for the foot of bowls and plates. I like the feel of this good-quality metal. Even with extensive use, it is still sharp.

Ease of Use

This Trim Tool works beautifully for my smaller pottery. All though it does take some getting used to, it’s a fun tool to use and helps create great shapes on pottery. This sharpened spade end gives you a precise cut that feels nice when you’re trimming. The small curl hook is best used for the bottom inside of the foot.

Other features

Having a  curved edge on one end and a straight edge on the other end makes this a good versatile tool. The more you use this trim tool, the more you will enjoy it. Instead of picking up three different tools, you have almost all you need in one tool.

MUDTOOL Sponges

Quality

These sponges are durable and also fit comfortably in your hand which is important. I find them not to be too fat or thin. The colors will fade after a while, and all of them may become white, but you can still tell them apart by the different textures they have.

Ease of Use

When making pottery or ceramics having good sponges is a must These are great to use in all stages of pottery making. From shaping and smoothing out your clay, sponging off your bisque ware, to removing any glaze from the foot of your pots, and gets the excess water off the clay. It’s nice to have all three for your sponging needs. These are not your ordinary sponges and do not feel like them either.

My Favorite Wire Cutter

Quality

This Mudwire stays together even after heavy use. The looped handles are easy to grab on to even if your hands happen to be full of clay.

a picture of a potter using a ribbon tool
Ribbon Tool

This 14-set Pottery Tool Set was made with the creative ceramic carver in mind. This is a good sculpting set to get started with. It helps the beginner feel like a pro.

Quality

The modeling tools and ceramic tools are good and solid. They hold up nicely over time. The wooden modeling tools last a long time and hold up to moisture really well. However, you don’t want them to be floating in your water container or have them wet for a prolonged period of time.

Ease of Use

Whether you are a pro or just a beginner, you will be pleased with this set. The model tools fit nicely in your hands even when your hands are wet or full of clay. The ribbon tool handles are thin but still work well. They carved thin areas with smooth precision for me.

Other features

This Tool Set comes with a Canvas Zippered Case. The case holds the tools in place well, but because the case is canvas and given the nature of pottery, you will be hard-pressed to keep it clean, especially when used often. Most of the pieces in this 14-piece set are double-sided, which gives you 23 different tools to work with, making it a nice compact, versatile set of tools.

Metal Scraper

This set is great for starters. You get your basic tools every potter needs to throw on the wheel with (needle tool, wooden rib, and modeling tool, wire clay cutter, metal rib, loop, ribbon tool, and sponge) plus a whole a lot more.

Quality:

These tools hold up well and feel sturdy. The wood tools haven’t splintered after a year of steady work. This is important since these tools do get wet from time to time, especially when working on the potter’s wheel a lot. A few of the tools were loose, but they popped back in. A touch of glue does wonders.

Ease of Use:

The wire loop tool is on the dull side, and knives are not as sharp, but they do a good job of carving and are great for beginner potters. The wood handles have a comfortable feel when carving and creating designs in the clay.

Other features:

You’ll be surprised by the number of different tools you will have to choose from. Much better than using nail files, screwdrivers, paper clips, and other assorted household items to create the desired effect on your piece. These sculpting tools do the trick, so you don’t have to search the house for the right tool.

Ease of Use:
