Just learning how to really appreciate this tool but so far it is delightful. It's well made and sturdy.
Very well made and put together
I should have bought this a long time ago. Don’t hesitate to treat yourself. This is so easy to use and easy to clean.
Good quality and easy to use, solid and easy to clean. I love it

very nice and easy to use
I purchased 2 "Groot" molds and both are amazing! Solid, thoughtfully crafted, and exactly what I needed!! Thank you!
Hand down the best slab mold!! This is the perfect mold to make tall skinny bars that are 2.25 inches wide instead of the standard 2.5-inch bar width.
I've used this mold 3 times. I get 4 loaves totaling 64 bars. I made a 1/8-inch diminisher with some HDPE I bought at Home Depot so that I wouldn't have a long 1/8-inch strip of soap left over when I'm done cutting into loaves, but you could just as easily not bother with that at all. I do it because I absolutely hate waste.
I cut each bar just under 3cm thick with my caterpillar soap cutting station (also from Custom Craft tools) and when it's all said and done I have only 5-6oz of waste/extra soap.
I know some like that extra for samples, not me. With the price of oils/butters soaring, I want the least amount of waste possible. I'll cut up a bar if I want samples, I don't want them by default.
This mold is extremely well made, very solid, will last my lifetime and then some. Love the handles (moving 20lbs of wet soap can be challenging). It has markings for embed placement.
With larger slab molds, refrigerating if soap starts overheating is not an option, with this mold the sides are removable to quickly cool down cracking soap if necessary. I make all got milk soap so I really appreciate that feature.
I can't say enough about this mold. I'm so happy I made this investment. I have molds from other companies; Workshop Heritage, Essential Depot, a few from Etsy, those cheap purple Amazon molds...none of them can hold a candle to this mold or the wonderful customer service you will get from Custom Craft Tools.
So, if you want large batch sizes of tall/skinny soap from a mold that you'll be able to use for years to come, then you need this mold.
Love this tool. Very sturdy makes swirling so much easier.
I absolutely love my slab cutter! It’s been such a game changer for my business. The quality is incredible, and it works perfectly every time. Couldn’t imagine making soap without it now!
Quality construction as usual with the perfect shape for watermelons and candy corn soaps!

Excellent communication, very helpful! My order was shipped quickly and very well packaged. I received my tool 3 days ago and was delighted.
I tried horizontal and vertical cutting. It is accurate and easy to use. I can only recommend it!
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this tool! My gloves were forever slipping on my old wire one, and the handle on this beauty makes designing and swirling a breeze! Plus, it fits my mold perfectly! Thank you! ❤️
I was afraid it might leak, but no, there was no leak. As for ease of unsheathing, it is so easy that one of the screws fell off in the fridge. I guess it contracted. Love it
