I shopped for this on Amazon, but I received it as a gift, bought at a local hobby shop. While another kit sold in similar places, which I bought and wrote a poor review of SE Pottery Tool 11 Pc Set has many, many duplicate tools in the kit, this kit only has 2 duplicate tools in it, though it's made by the same manufacturer. It also includes wire and wooden tools. One thing I really like having is the canvas case, which keeps me from accidentally poking myself when not in use and allows me to also hold a few other odd tools that I've made or collected for sculpting.
My one real problem is that the edges of some tools, mostly anything with a cutting edge, has burrs on it, which a serious sculptor would probably want to file off. I only took one star off for this, because after all, it's incredibly inexpensive for everything you get!

Ok, I bought this here when it was $13.99. I wanted two sets, one each for two students, but after ordering and receiving one, I decided not to get another at that price. One wooden tool was splintered somewhat and one metal tool just broke right off, right in the middle of the metal, before even being used. (I put a tiny bit of pressure on it, less than for normal use.) Other ones of the metal tools have burrs and are sloppily cut. It only deserves as high a praise as 3 stars because the case is quite nice and because after all, a number of the tools are usable. Hmmmm, well, they've hardly been used yet so I guess that assessment could change! I just wanted to post this soon because I see that at the moment, this is listed for $24.70!! Yikes!! I would really hate for anyone to end up with this set and be out $24!I would say that the case might be worth...well, say $7,...maybe $10~. It's sturdy, looks to be of high quality materials and is well designed. The zipper seems pretty good and has a handy zipper pull. The outside of the case is slightly padded black canvas. On the inside is flat and solid and there is one strip of elastic (3/4" wide) that is sewn down at intervals to create a spot to hold the handle of each tool closely and then there is another elastic at the top to help hold the other ends of the tools while allowing for different and difficult-to-accommodate shaped tools. We really wouldn't mind having another of these cases, to carry other tools in. But, for $24.70 (!?!),the price I see as I type this review, way over priced! :-(
