hole maker 8mm – empty brass Bullet tool

Description

Empty British  Brass Bullet – A Potter’s Handy Tool

Commonly found in pottery workshops across Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas, empty brass bullets are a favourite among potters for their practicality.

They’re the perfect size for making 8mm holes in clay—ideal for creating the small filter holes inside Brown Betty teapots that prevent teabags from blocking the spout during pouring.

These versatile tools are also great for:

• Making vents in oil burners

• Punching holes for string or wall-hanging

• Any clay project requiring clean, consistent holes

Made from brass, they’re hard-wearing, won’t rust, and actually improve with use.

If clay gets stuck inside, simply let it dry and poke it out with a stick—the dried clay will drop right out.
