The steel handles are what I usually use, but the 5" length won't fit everywhere, esp not in an Altoids tin <img src="images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

Primo handles are HARD & strong. Many artists make their own decorative handles for their tools, & they will take a considerable amount of pressure & abuse.

BTW, if you are using it to attach to a metal tool shaft or other, bake it with the tool in it, then pull it out when cold, add some Super Glue, & reset it. Polymer clay does NOT attach well to metal by itself.

The Exact blade works because of the hole in the handle end, where the clay reaches through the hole and grabs the clay on the other side.
