Meet your new studio essential: the Adjustable Tuga Wire

PRE-RELEASE - This item is available as a limited quantity pre-release. A pre-release 15% discount is automatically applied at checkout. 

Designed to eliminate tangled wires and cluttered tool kits, this adjustable wire cutter lets you pull out exactly the length you need, then reel it neatly back into the handle when you’re finished. It’s a clean, compact solution for cutting slabs, trimming forms, or releasing work from the wheel or bat—without the mess.

Thoughtfully built for real studio use, each handle features integrated tips that help guide smooth cuts and remove excess clay as the wire is reeled back in. The wire stores safely inside the handle, keeping it protected and ready for the next session.

We use a premium, kink-free titanium wire that’s easily replaceable, extending the life of the tool and making maintenance simple. The standard wire length is approximately 16 inches, but custom lengths are available—just reach out if you need more reach.

The Adjustable Wire Cutter also includes a holster-style carrying case that clips easily onto a bag or tool tote, so it’s always within reach when you need it.

Frequently asked questions

  • Tungsten Carbide is a super hard, wear-resistant metal compound commonly used in industrial cutting tools. It’s much harder than steel and holds an edge exceptionally well—making it ideal for trimming tools that are built to last.

  • Tungsten Carbide tips stay sharper significantly longer than traditional steel tools, meaning cleaner cuts, more consistent results, and fewer replacements. They’re designed for long-term performance—even with heavy use.

  • Don’t worry—it happens! Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard but also brittle. That’s why we designed our trimming tools with replaceable tips. If your tip breaks, you can easily order a replacement on our website and swap it out.

  • Yes—if you choose to! While our Tungsten Carbide tips are designed to stay sharp for a very long time, they can be sharpened using a fine diamond file (600 grit or higher). Just be sure to use a light touch and file only as needed to avoid changing the shape or edge geometry of the tip.

  • Yes, we do! We love partnering with studios, retailers, and distributors. If you're interested in carrying Tortuga Tools, reach out to us at hello@tortugatools.com and we’ll get you set up with our wholesale order form and pricing.
