DiamondCore® Tools: Prioritizing Artist Health & Safety
Long hours spent trimming, carving, and adding intricate details can add up. All that work can take a toll on your hands and wrists if you aren’t using the right tools.
Poorly designed pottery tools can lead to hand fatigue, wrist strain, and even long-term injuries like carpal tunnel or tendonitis in severe cases. If you’ve experienced any of these issues when you’re working in the studio — or want to avoid them down the road — DiamondCore® Tools has you covered.
We design each of our tools and equipment with artists like you in mind. Our tools are created with ergonomic principles, ensuring each tool fits naturally in your hand — whether you’re right- or left-handed.
Cushioned Grips Provide Comfort and Control
Each of our carving, fluting, sculpting and sgraffito tools come with comfortable foam grips that protect your hands and allow you to work on projects longer without strain.
-
Improved Control – The soft texture of the grip enhances stability, improving control as you guide the blade through the clay and or carve intricate details.
-
Non-Slip Grip – Foam grips minimize slipping when you’re working with delicate clay types or if your hands are wet or covered in clay.
-
Enhanced Ergonomics – Nicholai, our in-house artist and engineer, helped design our tools to conform to your hand, helping to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries and promoting a more comfortable grip.
-
Durability and Longevity – Our high-quality foam grips are resistant to wear and tear. This means they can maintain their shape and comfort over time, even with frequent use and cleaning.
“I love the quality of DiamondCore® tools. They are very comfortable in the hand which makes it a pleasure to work with. Very sharp. Excellent quality.” — Verna C.
Extra Sharp Stainless Steel Blades Increase Precision and Efficiency
At DiamondCore® Tools, we’ve developed our pottery tools with advanced blade technology.
-
Extra-Sharp, Stainless Steel Blades – Our extra-sharp blades require less force to cut through clay, minimizing pressure on your hands and wrists with each use. Plus, what artist doesn’t love trimming clay ribbons or gliding a tool through clay as if they are cutting soft butter?
-
Improved Efficiency – Say goodbye to being limited by your tool’s performance. Less resistance when gliding through clay speeds up your workflow, allowing you to carve your clay creations more efficiently and with more creativity.
-
Rust-Resistant – Stainless steel prevents rust and corrosion from forming on the blade, helping you keep your tools in excellent condition for years to come.
-
Rust-resistant pottery tools also prevent harm if an injury were to occur during use, making DiamondCore tools less likely to become unsafe over time.
If your blade should become dented or break, you can always order a replacement blade for your tool or contact our team. Replacement blades are available for most of our tools; they’re great to have on hand even before you need them!
Less Clay Dust and Buildup
Stop cleaning and focus on creating! The best pottery tools are easy-to-clean, saving you time and effort, while also being essential for reducing clay dust and preventing you from battling clay buildup.
-
Clog-Resistant Diamonds – Tools like our DiamondCore® sanding pads and diamond grinding discs are designed with clog-resistant diamonds. These diamonds can easily be rinsed clean with water after use.
-
Always use water with these tools to reduce the potential for clay dust. Clay dust is a common issue in the pottery studio. Using water can prevent the amount of dust that goes into the air, reducing your risk of breathing it in. You can also utilize facemasks or goggles for added protection.
-
Time-Saving Maintenance – Tools with smooth surfaces and minimal crevices make cleaning quick and easy.
-
Extended Lifespan – Proper cleaning and maintenance can go a long way in extending the longevity of your pottery tools.
