> 24 hourI bought it to try out the hobby and its pretty good for a starter kit, but since its speedball Brand its pretty expensive for the kit, but definitely a good cuality in all the 3 products you receive with this kit.

> 24 hourThis package contains everything but the paper! It comes with three carving nibs and handle, roller, ink and carving block. Its very soft and easy to cut, only gripe is that my tool tips were dull or uneven. They might have been sharpened wrong in factory idk. Made it work cuz the block is really really soft - but you should snag a seperate pack of nibs or a whetstone to sharpen the ones it comes with if you intend to use them over and over.

> 24 hourGreat product. If you don’t see the carving nibs plastic pouch when you open it, look for them in a compartment within the handle. Just Twist off the bottom of the handle.

> 24 hourThis is everything you need to get started in linocutting without committing to a huge investment. I just wanted to see if this was even a hobby I would like, and felt that for this price, it was worth trying. I was able to get 4 linocuts out of the single included sheet of lino and try a variety of techniques. That being said, this isnt going to be your forever set of tools. This is enough to get you confident, and start thinking about investing in more durable, comfortable tools. However, this kit did the job I bought it for; to give me a low-risk chance to try a new skill. Side note: The blades dull quickly, which is unsurprising considering their cost and the nature of the material theyre cutting. To prolong the life of this starter set tool, Id recommend getting a stropping kit to keep the blades honed.

> 24 hourThis set comes with a holder, 3 gouges (small v, large v and a large u), black ink and one speedy carve block. It is the bare bones essentials to get started with block printing. Now that I have been using it for a while I am kicking myself for not getting the deluxe set instead. It includes 4 extra tubes of ink, a bench hook and a linoleum block on top of everything in this value set. A single tube of speedball ink is about 12 dollars so that’s over 70$ worth of extra materials for a few more dollars. If I could go back in time I would’ve gotten the deluxe set to begin with!

> 24 hourThis kit is good for an introduction into block printing. The only thing that I will say is that the rolling tray, to roll the ink smoothly onto the brayer, in my kit was a little snug. I could use it but I had to be a little too careful about it. I would still definitely suggest buying this if you want to get your feet wet with block prints but I would also just suggest getting something nonporous (glass, plexi-glass, or smooth Styrofoam; I actually used one of those plain square dry erase boards, and it wasnt too messy to clean up) that doesnt have sides to roll the ink on. In my opinion its just easier if you dont have to worry about walls.

> 24 hourExcellent all around. At first, I didnt realize the blades are inside the tool (screw off the larger en and voila!). Super easy to carve, a vast difference from old school linoleum, smooth as butter. Cant wait to start incorporating prints into my art.
