Straight Probe Wax Hand Tool #17

The #17 straight probe is a fundamental hand tool for any wax carver's bench, featuring a sharp, durable point. It is used for marking layout lines, picking up tiny beads of wax, and detailing tight corners. Unlike heated tools, this cold probe allows for a mechanical "scoring" of the wax surface for layout work. The handle is knurled to provide a secure, non-slip grip during long hours of meticulous jewelry design work.
