Since the handles come pre-assembled, it didn't occur to me that they came apart. The instructions also fail to mention even once that you're going to have to take the handles apart to attach them to the blades. A simple diagram would have been much better than that description.īut that's not all. So when the instructions say, "For correct placement, longer part of handle should be angled slightly up diagonally from blade," you're left wondering which part is the longer part and what that slight angle might be. Not only that, but there's no diagram or picture anywhere on the product packaging showing how the assembled handles should look. (I've scanned in my package's instructions in case anyone is interested in taking a look.) The main problem is that there are no diagrams in the instructions. Jenny at Craft Test Dummies mentioned this in her review, but even having been warned, I was still surprised at how bad they were. Not only are they not easy to interchange (I imagine I'll leave my handles on my most-used blade) - but the instructions for attaching the handles are awful. I can imagine this would be an attraction for some people, though.Īnd for something that the company has put a lot of focus on, the handles seemed very poorly implemented. I've used my clay blade for years without handles, and I know how to make my own handles from clay if I want them. One of Studio by Sculpey's big selling points for these blades is the safety of using their interchangeable handles. And of course, I used my 40% off coupon to save a little more. Getting four blades for $12.99 seemed like a good value, compared to buying each blade individually. The price was the number one reason I selected Studio by Sculpey's set.
