I bought it because the store was sold out of the Makin's (she said it was discontinued?!) and I am making pom pom cup cakes this week. But I'm thinking if it's no good I'll return it and order the Makin's or whatever you recommend online. Thanks!

Which one is it> The green tubey things with discs you drop in the bottom? If so, it fine, I use it all the time, but it doesn't hold as much as my pricier sugar gun.

If it's the little silver one with the interchangeable discs - it's a hand killer, but it will do the job. Keep your fondant a little on the soft side for easier use. Good luck!

I have the shugarkraft squeeze extruder (red barrel, black squeeze handle), and the silver push extruder, and the Makin's® Professional™ Ultimate Clay Extruder™ (light green metal tube with "T" handle that you twist in order to extrude).
The best of the 3, without a doubt is the Makin's® Professional™ Ultimate Clay Extruder™. I get long, even extrusions without any hand pain and it comes apart easily for cleaning. I find the other 2 to be a waste of time, money, and energy.
I've been told that Michael's is no longer carrying it (they have a history of saying things are discontinued when, in fact, they're available elsewhere and for some reason, Michael's is no longer keeping it in stock).
You can usually find it at JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby and at many polymer clay sites online.
