Mudwire - Green Handle Standard Cutoff Tool for Pottery Wheel and Clay Artists - Sherrill Mudtools

Great durable wire cutter for cutting pots off of bats. Strong durable wire easy to use especially for pots that are hard to get off bats or boards since the clay dried to them. This wire cutter really gets the job done and I know it wont break when cutting drier pieces of clay. I’ve been using it for a few months and it has not frayed or broken. Still holding up strong. Great price and size. I use this wire to cut a lot of clay at once since I teach wheel throwing.

I purchased one of these when I first got my pottery wheel several years ago and it is still holding up. It is very durable and reliable to cut clay with and also to remove your piece from the pottery wheel. Cutting tool out there.Great value for the money.

Nice wire and pull grips

I’m so glad I decided to buy this wire. I was previously using a cheap wooden one, and it was much more stiff than this mudtools one. This one is way more flexible and cuts my pieces right off the bat with no struggle. Love it

Great sturdy cutter. Easy grab on tool. Highly suggest. The curly cutter causes a lot of air pockets in clay

Am very disappointed with this Cutting wire. It is NOT, as previously reported, a Mud Tools item. I am a professional potter and I have a variety of Mud Tools that I use regularly because they are reliable and of consistently high quality. My Mud Tools cut off wire cut off tool is in keeping with the quality of my other Mud Tools. The cut off wire that failed is from another company entirely (Xiem) but it mimics the appearance of the Mud Tools cut off wire and I failed to make the distinction which is absolutely my fault. As I posted previously, I managed to get 3 months use out of this inferior cut off wire before it frayed so badly that I had to retire it. The plastic coating on the wire began fraying after one month and continued to deteriorate from then on. The Mud Tools cut off wire equivalent features no such plastic coating on it and is far superior to the Xiem.

Since I'm still on my beginning pottery journey, I've been cautious as to spending $ on tools, but this one and any mudtool brand upgrade I've made has definitely made the experience easier and Mudtools brand is made for ample use without cutting or hurting your own hands, the most important tool of all.

Be sure you are getting actual Mud Tools, not a knock off. This heavy duty one with the black handle is much sturdier than the ones with a green handle.

Seems like it will last longer than the one with the wood handles. Pleased so far!
