Our tools are made of tungsten carbide, with a technology that resists loading so they have a very long life if taken care of properly. After coating all tools are brazed, hardened and tempered for strength. They can’t be used on metal or ceramics. If they are dropped the ‘teeth’ will break even though they are very strong. A soft cleaning with a brass brush is all that is needed to keep them in shape.
