Shredder: Long Flat with Handle

Flat Shredder – provides a long flat plane.

The Mudtools Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather hard clay. For years you could find a tool like this at the hardware store. This type of rasp was originally designed to be used on wood, but clay people, sculptors and auto-body repairmen discovered how well the blade worked on other materials (like clay and auto-body filler). The problem was the handle design. The handle would trap clay and get clogged up. Michael designed a new open blade shape as well as a comfortable ergonomic grip. It functions well, doesn’t trap the waste clay in the tool and doesn’t frustrate the user. An added benefit is the tool mark, it leaves a handsome textured surface in the clay.

We do our best to ship the colour requested but occasionally substitutions must be made.
