Q173 Professional Quilling Tool, Brown

Must have for quilling, easy to us slotted tool and the needle is a great help mate. FYI, if your using a heavier gage quillingstrip you may findthat the tool has a tight fit which is great for the regular quilling strips, but for the thicker quilling strip you may need to open the slotted toolalittle more for a easier fit. Take the tip of the needle and gently push it a 1/3 of way into the top of the slotted tool, then gently rock it back and forth slitly until you see a slightly wider space in the tool. Make sure not to rock it to far because you will break the tool. Hope this helped. Happy quilling.

I purchased this quilling tool set hoping the wooden handle "pin" would be more comfortable and I was correct. The pin part of the set is well made, does not come apart and is just the right length.The slotted tool, however, is another matter. First the tool is too short. This would probably be fine for a person with small hands, but (I wear size 7 gloves) it was hard to hold and my hand cramped before using it very long. The tool is metal and I found it hard to control. I wish it, too, were made of wood.My score is five stars for the wooden handle pin and two stars for the slotted tool. While it may cost a little more I would buy the pin separately and continue looking for a wooden handled slotted tool.

I am a quiller and I like to try every single quilling tool out there as I have found that different tools give different results. I went for a packaged deal with the needle and the slotted tool hoping to save money and I frequently use needle tools so it made sense. I like that the quilling tool is metal because I have been known to quill many pieces of paper so tight that I have snapped lesser quality tools so I like the metal design.The biggest flaw for me is the very short length of the tool. I have very big hands and this tool just feels like I am going to drop it and I can't get the leverage on it that I have with a longer tool. I think for some people this would be a great tool especially for travel but for me it just didn't work. I stopped using the tool after I lost the tension on many large swirled pieces.

needle is great for detail and quilling tool works fantastic

Just to be clear...the page says "two pack" which usually means you will receive 2 packages. Nope. You get one package.
