Such a great shape. My most frequent handle. Love holding mugs with this one.

Super sharp, makes quick work on handles. Even my 8 year old can make a quick consistent handle that keeps her engaged and not frustrated with the process.

I absolutely hate pulling handles, and now I don't have to! People comment on how nice these handles feel in their hands.

I can make fairly decent pulled handles but I stress about it so much, that I don't make mugs. I liked the handles a fellow potter made and I asked him about them. He said he used this Diamond core tool! So I purchased it. I'm very happy I did and a liked the results.

These extruders are soooo well made, and make handles so much easier to make. The R4 shape is so beautifully curved and the glaze slides down the middle indent so lusciously! (that curve really captures glaze movement beautifully).Absolutely love it, how easy it is to use, the smooth handles it creates and now, saving all my pennies for more DiamondCore tools!
G
Worth every penny, I can’t wait to purchase more tools!

Takes a little bit of practice but it produces a nice result

This tool creates the most perfect, simple handle. The concave groove is very comfortable to hold on mugs. Only takes a moment to pull!

I do not like this shape at all. I thought it was a different shape. This one is very difficult to use. Too bad since they cost so much.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this tool, but wow, is it ever wonderful! I can make beautiful handles in a fraction of the time that it takes me to use my barrel+dies extruder and with almost no clean-up. I couldn't be more pleased!

If you hate handle pulling (guilty) these are for you! I love how many profiles and shapes are available, really something for everyone. Love the feature that you can adjust thickness, I prefer a slender handle and this can execute it dandy!

This extruded really delivers. I have tried other handle making tools. The results were inconsistent and disappointing. The R4 tool cuts a perfect handle every time. The best part is the ability to set the depth. That’s always been a major issue with other handle making tools. The blade is very sharp and it cuts the clay like butter. There’s no drag like with other tools. The best investment I’ve made in a long time.
