Makin's USA 35055: The Ultimate Clay Extruder for Professional Artistic Creations Review

I bought this extruder to use with fondant to decorate cakes and only used it about a dozen times before it broke. First, the union nut came loose from the cap, so I couldn't "twist" the extruder to remove the plunger when I was done. Then the screw holding the plunger tip broke and I couldn't get the plunger tip out of the tube at all. I would not buy this product again - it is too cheap to withstand repeated use.

Only used the second time since purchase and already broken. The threaded shank appears to have tilted slightly and wedged completely. We tried to fix it but it's useless. Doesn't spin anymore. So disappointed. I didn't force him. It rotated well and the sound came out like butter. I was very happy with it until it suddenly stopped spinning. And no, it's not clogged, it's been kept clean and it's still brand new. Frustrated :-(

It does everything just like any other extruder, just simpler. And I love how much product it contains. Some other extruders can sometimes…

I love this product! I used a silver one that had to be pressed by hand, which caused a lot of pain in my hands and fingers. It has a knob that you turn. The handle falls to the other side when turning, making it easier to start the next turn. Great idea! I bought a drill adapter so the drill does most of the work. Of course, squeezing (shaping) the clay requires some muscle effort, so even if you're using a drill, you'll still need hand strength when the drill nears its end to keep the entire…

I bought this set to work with lipstick and gum paste. At first I was excited. No more hand rolling uneven strips! I knew this product was intended for use with clay and expected there would be some difficulties based on that fact and the reviews I had read previously. So I'll get straight to the point. The Pro basically gets the job done better than if you were to do it without tools. Imagine driving a school bus without power steering. If you have a lot of patrols to do, you can organize a…
