Are these worth getting, after all it’s only like £7 with p+p? There’s not much to loose!

Which ones would be needed (aka which ones do the same job as another), and is it worth just getting the ones I do need seperatley?

Thanks

For that price tag…go for it. I have the PP set which only includes 3 tools(3heads with “blades” and one with a spatula, plus one which is just as a nail) and it sure gets my fill done but I think I payed at least that much for them so.

As long as you have fresh green stuff and clean them after every use it will probably work.

I’ve seen these for sale in craft shops here in the US for around $10.00 for 5 tools, seems like a good deal for 12, and it looks like there are all the tools you’ll ever need for sculpting in that kit

Go for it!!

Go for the big pack. It’s cheap. I have that same pack but only really use 1 or 2 tools from it but every now and then you need others for more specific work.

Cheap sculpting tools:

Go to your dentist/hygienist, ask for their worn out picks.

Two of my most used sculpting tools I made myself from old paintbrush handles with a pin head or a needle, lashed with cotton thread to the handle, superglued and then epoxied into place.

Don’t forget your X-Acto or craft knife is a great sculpting tool in itself.

Kera foehunter:

Its always great to have tools

I get a small set at first. Then your find the one that work best for ya.

But i do most of my green stuff work with a X-Acto Knife

A plastic Pencil and a fruit drink straw

deadlydeceiver:

I received the 12 pieces set today.

The quality is ok, but not great (2 tips are quite “rough”)

I also feel like the tools are a bit too big for sculpting details.

Nevertheless: Nice to have (for that price)

I also got mine, and they are all fine. You actually get 24 rather than 12 because they are double ended! :wink:
