Why DiamondCore Tools Has the Best Handheld Clay Extruders

If you’ve struggled with hand-pulling your handles or wrestling with bulky wall-mounted extruders, our handheld clay extruders are a total game-changer.

We designed these compact tools to slice through slab clay and effortlessly produce clean, uniform strips for mug handles, plate feet, vessel accents, and more.

If you’re looking for the best handheld clay extruders, let’s explore a few of the ways our extruders stand out. 

What Makes DiamondCore Clay Extruders Exceptional?

Durable & Sharp

Our sharp, stainless-steel blades create clean, consistent cuts and minimal clay debris. The stainless steel resists dulling, damage, and rusting, so your extruder gives you the quality cuts you need time after time. 

Control & Consistency

Each pass yields the same shape and thickness, eliminating the need for tedious hand-pulling and giving you a polished, consistent look. You can adjust for uniform depth, enhancing consistency across each extrusion. 

Speed & Efficiency

With our handheld clay extruders, it’s a simple drag, slice, cut, and attach workflow. There’s no mounting or prep work needed. And when you’re all done, cleanup is easy thanks to clean blades and direct extrusion from bagged clay. 

Versatility & Range

With 30+ clay extruder varieties to choose from, DiamondCore makes it easy to bring your creative vision to life. Shapes range from triangles and U-forms to decorative ridges, ruffles, and clouds. Plus, our clay extruder bundle sets make it easy to build your complete pottery toolkit.

How Our Handheld Extruders Stack Up vs. Other Brands & DIY Methods

We get it — there are a lot of pottery tools and other options out there. Why should you choose our handheld extruders? Let’s see how they compare with traditional hand-pulling, wall-mounted extruders, and other clay extruder brands. 

Traditional Hand-Pulling

Inconsistent results: With hand-pulling, variations in size and profile are common. This is fine, but it can be problematic if you’re trying to create a matching set or looking to sell your pottery at a premium price. With our extruders, you get consistency every time. 

Physically taxing: Repetitive pulling can strain your hands and wrists, slowing your creative process and possibly causing long-term issues. The ergonomic design and sharp blades minimize strain and increase efficiency when working on big projects. 

Time-consuming: Hand-pulling generally requires trimming or smoothing after the process, which takes additional time and effort. With our clay extruders, every cut is clean and uniform, so there’s no trimming needed. 

Wall-Mounted Extruders

Setup required: Wall-mounted extruders typically need a fixed mount, multiple dies, clay-loading, and post-use cleanup. It’s a time-consuming setup, especially inconvenient for artists working in tight spaces or on the go. But with our handheld extruders, there’s no prep required, and they’re easy to bring along to classes, studios, or wherever you create.

Less flexible: It’s harder to switch shapes quickly with wall-mount units. On the other hand, our handheld extruders allow you to switch shapes in seconds, with no refills or mess.

Other Handheld Models

We know we’re not the only handheld extruder maker on the market. However, we’ve found that most are limited in shape, lack precise adjustment, and use lower-quality blades. Our history of innovation and consistent 5-star reviews reflect our superior design and durability
