This cup is uber cool! Of course the quench part is why I bought it, but it came with directions on how to use it to solder a ring with the stone still in it by dunking the stone in water to protect it. I LOVE ALL THE STUFF I BUY FROM BEADUCATION. I've learned most of my jewelry making knowledge from the big B!

I had always been of the mind that I just needed to use an old bowl or can for quenching. Well, I've changed my mind on that after seeing this cool cup. WOWZERS! FINALLY something I can actually fire near without having to worry about shattering or melting it. I like to solder my jump rings closed and it's hard to do with finished pieces that have stones. But with the tweezers holding the focal and stones under water? SCORE! Great addition to my workbench.

This is such a great product. Love the tweezers and that they have a resting place.

Was always trying to figure out what to quench my metal in....now I don't have to. The tweezers make it so easy.

This is great for working with smaller pieces, I like the safety and convenience of using the right tools. I use the locking tweezers for just everything I do. They are so helpful, like having an extra hand to work with.

Perfect 'extra hand'!
