Jack Richeson - Pro Needle

Pro Needle

Professional needle tool cuts precise holes with secure wet grip

A substantial steel point secured in machined aluminum, built to maintain precision through thousands of piercing, lifting, and scoring operations. The textured grip stays secure even when your hands are slip-covered, crucial when working wet clay at the wheel or during hand-building sessions.

The oversized needle handles tasks that would bend lighter tools, piercing drainage holes through thick-walled planters, lifting delicate coils without distortion, scoring deep grooves for secure joins. That substantial point also excels at detailed surface work: incising fine lines into leather-hard clay, creating controlled impressions for texture, adding precise veining to sculptural leaves. The aluminum handle provides enough heft for confident control without causing hand fatigue during extended decorating sessions.

Whether you're piercing functional ware, refining sculptural details, or preparing surfaces for assembly, this needle maintains its point and grip security through the kind of repetitive work that defines production pottery and serious ceramic practice.
