yeah I use it. THose metal ones run about $80.00 where I have seen them in stores. I can't handle that! I make due with the plastic one. Just use lost of corn starch
I use it all the time. I've got other tools, but the wilton ball tool/veiner is the one that I use most frequently.
I use mine all the time for fondant and gum paste, I am currently using it to thin the petals for gum paste roses and it works fine.
I also use it. Hopefully, one day I'll get a metal one. But until then, mine works great with A LOT of cornstarch!
I wonder how this would do, for those who are wishing for a metal ball tool but don't want to spend a ton. http://scrapmasters-inc.amazonwebstore.com/Studio-By-Sculpey-Style-Detail-Tools3Pkg/M/B0018BSJSA.htm
Texas_Rose, that is what I was going to get if everyone said the plastic one was no good. I saw that at Joanns today for 9.99. I ended up using my 50% off coupon @ Michael and got the Wilton tool 10 piece kit for a few dollars more.
Hi, I use the Wilton ball tool, I turn it side ways when I use it on petals of flowers so that the faint seam on the round end doesn't tear the petal. I just used the sculpey ball tool on my fondant anniversary cake flowers. It works great!

Oh yeah, I forgot. Watch Tonedna tutorial for gumpaste roses, she use the sculpey ball tool. That is who sparked me to try it. Thanks Edna!
i still love the wilton tools.. i have the old ones.. and the new ones.. i also have the pme plastic tools. and the jem plastic tools.. and the metal tools. i still love to use the plastic ones.. i teach the g/p at michaels. and we all use the wilton tools there.. the students do great with them..
I use the wilton tools all the time , Those were the only ones I knew about from the Wilton courses, By the way GlobalSugarArt has a ball tool I think for under or about $20 it is advertised with the new tools fron ICES it is advertised with Colett Peters Peony cutters.
Ps I just checked it is $ 14.99 and it is also from Colette Peters
I used to use it but now that I got my metal ball tool I paid $18.00 I won't use the plastic one anymore. The metal one is way to much better it really make a difference in your flowers.

I agree with Misabel99. I had problems with my Wilton one tearing the edges because it wasn't completely smooth where the seam was. I ordered the one from GSA that has the wooden center by Sunflower Sugar Art and it works great and only costs $16.
