Xiem ToolsStainless Steel, Rubber Handle Telescoping X-Sponge II with Sponge, 8-1/2 - 23 in - 1469334

Works for reaching into hand built clay vases and mugs. My pieces don’t lose their shape. Works well to,reach into narrow and deep spaces and avoid messing the shape up using a regular sponge with my hands. All Xiem products are the best and worth the few extra dollars. Would’ve liked it to come with an extra sponge, butmitsmeasynenough to order a replacement.

It extends, and is narrow enough to fit thru smaller openings. Reasonable price. Retracted, it fits nicely in my pottery tool box. Made so you can replace the sponge end as needed. Very pleased thus far.

Very good to reach feet and ankles with to apply creams and ointment with.

This is a great tool when working with pots that are too tall or too narrow for one’s hand. I just wish the sponge was more absorbent.

Xiem Tools Stainless Steel, Rubber Handle Telescoping X-Sponge II with Sponge, 8-1/2 - 23 inI have finally started throwing pottery that is tall enough to use this tool. This is a perfect tool for me because my hands are often larger than the opening of my current projects.I have several Xiem products and have been extremely happy with the quality of their tools. The telescoping handle moves smoothly and is well worth the money.

This thing is my second one of these. The handle is great, however the old one had a very hard and almost completely unusable sponge on it. This one does not have that problem and it is made to the usual very high standards of Xiem. This does cost a lot more than a dowel rod with a sponge zip tied on the end, but it also much cooler looking to pull out of your tool box.

In the photo looks like 3 deferent size tools but it is one plastic handle with a sponge which other people have comment it comes off after few use … 🤷🏽‍♀️ now i am scared to use it 🙄

Wish that it would rotate once in the pot without any resistance.
