Invented by master jeweler, Jay Whaley, the Large WHIP makes a lot of sense when using small melting dishes. Made of stainless steel, fits melting dishes: 3" and 4". The spring action keeps good tension to assure the user that melting dishes will not slip. (Melting dish not included, but you can click here to explore melting dishes and crucibles.) Total length is 9-3/4".
