Don't take our word for it, read what others have to say about our pyro tools.

• Hi Claudia,
  Great news to hear my crossette pump has been sent. You have been one of those people that us customers love to do business with, I can't thank you enough for the help and patience you have shown to me. I certainly will be forwarding more of my business on to you,
  Kindest Regards..........Phill.
• I received the star plate today, very impressive, what a great high quality product. I'll be ordering more of these in the future. :)

• Thanks, Claudia.
  You guys always take care of us out here in PyroLand. I never stop recommending your great tooling.
• Wish I had found this site earlier!! Purchased (attempted) tooling and tubes from another place, only recvd tubes. Tool was out of stock, but found out when recvd tubes. Your tools look better though!
• I recently purchased some 1 1/8 comet pumps and a star gun. I used all 3 items and they performed perfectly. The extraction of the comets was amazingly easy. I will be using the comets to build a 16 inch shell and other projects. The quality of the tools is fantastic. THANK YOU.
• Thank you so much again!!
  I really like your tool (1 lb hybrid black powder rocket tool).

• Thanks for the info on the cavity star Richard.
  Your tools are a pleasure to use, nicely machined and great quality. I used to work in a toolroom making moulds for injection moulding plastics so I know a good piece of machine work when I see it!
  Regards Paul Moulder
• Thank you so much, and thank Rich for his generosity. I'll be sure to put in a good word for Wolter's, on Passfire- although your sterling reputation doesn't need it; Wolter's is already at the top of everyone's list of places to go for quality tools!
  Thanks again,
  Jim Cupit
• Hi, today I've received my package. the tool is excellent quality

• The best tools period! Second to none! Thanks - Erik, NY
• Thanks so much! (Looking forward to making more orders! Your tools are works of art.) - TL
• I just wanted to let you know that I received the 3lb. rocket tooling a few days ago! I was so excited I went out to my shop and made one right away and fired it the same afternoon! The easy process and end result was a fabulous rocket motor that lifted very quick and easily reached 500+ feet!!! I just want to say Thank You for providing "TOP" of the line pyro tooling!!!!! I will definitely be back for more!!!! -Jason, KY
• I bought a 1 # and a 4 oz rocket engine tool set(s) along with z-bomb, comet pumps, scoops, time fuse puncher, whistling rocket kit, etc way back in 1986-87 and I am here to say that they still are the finest working units on the market! In a time when our art is consistently under the looking glass it is reassuring that quality is still available! Best wishes, Dan
• I received my ½" star plate this weekend and put it to work right away with of 10 lb of composition. It took me 1/10th the time to press some star as it would have taken me with the cheap Chinese star press. Who says that Chinese make better fireworks, "Buy American"!!! Wolter's tools are worth every penny. -Lawrence J.
• I just wanted to say thank you very much for the "extra" I got when I received my recent order. The mug is very nice and I will certainly put it to good use. I also wanted to thank you, in general, for your overall customer service. This is only my second order, however I couldn't be happier with your service and cant see myself spending money anywhere else. Not only are your prices excellent, but your products are top notch. What else could a budget pyro (or pro for that matter) need? Thanks sooooo much!!! -Timothy R.
• I obviously received your tooling by now, but wanted to add a comment. It worked very nicely. I didn't have any other tubes besides the sample you gave me so I decided to try it out. It was the first time I made that big before and was a bit nervous of the outcome, but she flew beautifully and went very high. I know you get praise mail on a regular basis, but just add this one to the pile with the rest. I am impressed with how well the tooling works. Anyways, just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the tooling. See you, Osbourne.
• These are simply beautiful!!!! Good Lord I couldn't have imagined. Perhaps a silly tool to some, I am thrilled. Thank you so much.
• Thanks for the prompt shipment. Looking forward to ordering again from you. Your products are of excellent quality and you have excellent customer service.
• I will refer to Rich as a tool and die maker rather than just a "machinist" from now on! The difference between those two things is now really apparent to me. It's really a nice piece of work and I'll let you know how it does. The stock ¾" star plate as seen on the website has worked fabulously for me so far–when thrown into a hydraulic press setup the comets come out as hard as rock, Thanks again, Jed
• Rich, Thank you! I will here by dedicate the launch of my first crossette comet shell to you. I will forever laud and magnify thy name within the Kingdom of Pyrotechnica. Best regards, Tom
• Jim Biersach won the trophy two years in a row for best small rocket motor using my tooling for ¾" I.D. whistle in 2004 and 2005 at the PGII conventions.
• Rich, I purchased a 1lb rocket tool ... ah ... from ... ur ... Skylighter. Since then I have become much wiser and purchased other tools from you. My rocket tool didn't come with the nice niffty little end piece used to make the clay plug with hole at the end. Is it possible to purchase one of those for a 1lb rocket (¾" ID). If so how much? Thanks, Andy
• Thank you very much. the only thing that exceeds your service is the quality of your product. Chris M.

• As I told you on the phone, your tooling is real quality. Thank you very much, it's kind of hard to find that kind of workmanship in any product you buy today.–James Clark
• That 2½" Comet Pump you sold me is fantastic!–John
• I received the tools today safe and sound and unopened. They are little beauties and can't wait to try them out! If you have any more inquiries from Britain I would be very pleased to relay just how helpful you have been and the high quality of the tools.–Gavin
• Just a note of appreciation, thanks and smiles for the magnificent tooling. The #1 and #6 Stinger sets with custom stainless steel spindles and the "No Go Farther Markings" on the drifts.–John A. Surbert

• I've just entered the world of amateur pyrotechnics and didn't know where to turn for tools. I'm so glad I found you guys! –Randy
• As a supplier of pyrotechnic chemicals and supplies, we're often asked where to buy pyrotechnic tooling, the answer is Wolter Pyro Tools! –Mark Mead, Iowa Pyro Supply.
• Received the rocket cone former(s), template and hammer today. I had no idea you were sending me TWO formers? I thought I'd be receiving a single "standard" cone! You are very, very nice to provide me with two different-pitched choices. Like the rocket tooling, they look like pieces of sculpture–lacquered/poly'd, too! And the kraft template examples–that's something you didn't have to do. I'm impressed; you do very fine work. I'd highly recommend you. Seriously, If I owe you some more money, please let me know! -Dan
