Over all this is a pretty good "starter kit" but I'd like to warn you of a few problems (or issues) I came across: * The linoleum block is HARD. Way too hard, especially for someone just starting out with linocuts. (I kept thinking that this was sad because it might scare people away from linocuts because they may think it wasn't worth the physical exertion of carving into this hard linoleum. Every cut my cutter was skipping, snagging and flying off the block. I was grunting like a crazy person lol) I'm not saying it's impossible to cut, but it is NOT smooth like other linoleums. You can hurt yourself struggling to make lines in it. Do what I did: buy the BENCH HOOK along with this kit. It helped a whole lot. I bought the Speedball bench hook on here for about $9-10. Well worth the investment. It's "dual purpose" (meaning you can also use it as the ink tray) * Came with a very cheapy styrofoam tray to roll the ink in. It's the type of styrofoam tray you might find packed meats on at the grocery store. I feel they could have added maybe a PLASTIC tray or a non-porous sheet of vinyl or some other material. You could buy a small sheet of plexiglass at some place like Lowe's which I did a few days before receiving this which would work perfectly for rolling the ink on. (I purchased it to do monoprints... but it's OK because the ink is WATER SOLUBLE... meaning you can wash it off, no problem.) * The cutters sometimes comes lose. I tightened it very tightly but if you angle some of the cutters a certain way, they essentially come undone. (I didn't mark off for this; I'm just warning people.) I think the more you use the cutters, the more you'll understand it and how to hold it, how much pressure it can take, etc. * The "directions" are pretty much worthless. Really, a waste of paper. They don't tell you how to change the cutters (not everyone will understand how... luckily I had nib pens that use almost the same method of switching nibs.) They don't tell you how to clean up or store the block. I suggest looking on youtube and doing a browser search. You only get one block, so I would also order up some extra linoleum... because you will definitely be hooked once you see your prints! (I actually ordered unmounted linoleum from Dick Blick because they had much better deals that the ones I found on Amazon & m local Micheal's no longer sells printmaking supplies.) So after drawing out my design of a lady's face and transferring the design to the block, I took about 3 hours of carving. It had some minute details that I thought I'd be able to get done neatly... but because the block was so hard, I did find my cutter snagging quite a bit. I'm surprised I didn't cut myself at all! Everyone's always saying how dangerous this can be, so I was almost expecting it. I will say I am very happy with how my prints came out. I really thought my first linocut prints would come out pretty crappy but I really do think it came out beautifully. Would I recommend this kit? Sure, just beware of what I mentioned above.

Great 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.

This 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 isn't 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 they're cutting. To prolong the life of this starter set tool, I'd recommend getting a stropping kit to keep the blades honed.

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

I bought this kit over some "no name" ones because I figured the quality would likely be better, but now that I've used it I'm not sure that is true. As others have observed, it came in an unpadded envelope, meaning the contents were completely squashed by the time it arrived at my house. It is a miracle the ink didn't burst open, but I got lucky. I was also lucky in that, unlike some other reviewers' experiences, my set was complete. I have not used the brayer, and realized that I probably won't (I'm instead painting my linoleum cuts with acrylic paint). So, I can't speak to the quality of that. If you do buy this kit in spite of my review, at least do yourself a favor and buy extra blocks at the same time -- it only comes with 1 (although it can be flipped over to use both sides). If the "Speedball" name is supposed to imply the cutting tools are easily swapped out on the handle, it's a serious misnomer. For the first few hours of use it was a struggle every single time to screw/unscrew/pry/jiggle/shake/twist/swear profusely and try to find the sweet spot to get the blades in and out, until it finally froze up completely and the blade that was in there appears to be permanently stuck. Despite all the drawbacks I'm not completely sorry I bought this kit, because I wasn't sure I would use an expensive set of tools enough to justify the investment. However, after struggling with this for a few days, but still enjoying the creative process, I've decided it makes sense to upgrade to an intermediate level set where at least every blade comes permanently attached to its own handle.

This package contains everything but the paper! It comes with three carving nibs and handle, roller, ink and carving block. It's 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.
