Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Precisely stir molten precious metals with this 16-inch graphite stirring rod handle and holder, ensuring a clean, uncontaminated melt.

What it does

This tool enables you to agitate gold, silver, and other alloys directly in the crucible, preventing the metallic transfer common with steel rods. The robust, adjustable metal holder grips the carbon or graphite rod securely, while the turned wooden handle offers a comfortable, insulated grip for safe operation. Its 16-inch length maintains a crucial distance from the intense heat of the melt, allowing for controlled mixing before pouring.

How to use it

  • Secure the graphite rod in the holder.
  • Gently stir molten metal for even consistency.
  • Clean rod after each use for longevity.

Who it's for

An essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and small-scale casters working with precious metals. It replaces less precise stirring methods, offering a cleaner workflow for those graduating from basic hobbyist tools to professional techniques. Ideal for ensuring alloy integrity before investment casting or hand-pouring.

What's in the box

1 x 16-inch graphite stirring rod handle with carbon stir rod holder, 1 x free graphite rod.

Joshua ★★★★★

The 16-inch length gives me plenty of clearance from the heat, and the graphite rod stirs smoothly without any contamination.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The graphite rod fits snugly in the holder, so there's no wobble when I'm stirring a fresh pour. It's left my silver melt completely clean, and the 16-inch reach keeps my hands well away from the heat. Exactly what I needed for my casting setup.

Sebastian C. ★★★★★

The 16-inch length gives me plenty of clearance from the crucible, and the graphite rod feels rock-solid when I'm stirring molten silver. It keeps the melt clean without any carbon flaking off, which is exactly what I needed for my small casting runs.
