Telescoping Sponge Stick for Pottery, 27 Inches Long Pottery Sponges, Pottery Tool for Removing Excess Water from Tall and Narrow Pottery, 3 Pack

Great

The telescoping idea is great but the sponges are way too soft and big. I had to fold them on the stick and wrap with a rubber band. Will probably switch them out for something like we use in class but being able to go shorter or longer easily is definitely a plus.

Great for using in throwing mugs.

These are really nice and I like that they are small cell sponges so it makes it easier to finish off the inside of my vases so they are nice and smooth while also getting extra water out the bottom. I can absolutely recommend these.

Too fat for small projects

Great concept but a poor execution.the sponges are attached at inconsistent depths and start falling off after a single use. But a different brand

These sponge tools are perfect for throwing vases and vessels with narrow necks. The handles are sturdy and when extended, they stay in place and don’t slide from the length you’ve telescoped them to. The sponges are about an inch from the tip of the handle so you don’t have to worry about the metal tip breaking through and scoring your piece. The plastic grip on the handle keeps your hands from slipping while using it. The price is reasonable. These are definitely a must have for any pottery studio.

These definitely fit better than my small round sponge when I'm trying to get excess water out after making a smaller necked vase. But they don't absorb as well as my small round sponge. Still, I'm glad I got them.
