I bought one of these in a box of stuff. Still in packet and looked unused. I wasn't sure if it would be useful.

It is a rather intersting addition to a mould. I think those who cast with a gloved hand could really get some use out of this.

See the link for what the product looks like. I did a search on the forum and did not come up with it, so either I am not a good searcher or it hasn't been discussed in a while.

How does it work, just clamp on the sprue plate for more leverage? It seems to me that it would be more useful on a four cavity mold than on a single or double cavity.
Let us know how it works out.

Yeah it just has a slot that fits on the sprue plate that has a set screw to hold it on. You can see it in teh picture. the handle then protrudes further out and does not get as hot as the sprue plate. Gives a little more leverage when cutting prues without the aid of a mallet or sprue knocker.

I did not buy it out right, it was just in abox of stuff I bought. Interstign concept but I don't know if I would spend the money when I can lop off a piece of hard wood broom handle or use a gloved hand.

Who knows maybe time and more use will change my mind. It does give more leverage and doesn't get as hot when cutting sprues with the hand.

I saw this several years ago in the Dixie Gun Works catalog. I planned to order one, but never got around to it. I'll be interested in your impressions, too.
