Line 47:
| Wire brushes || These are used for cutting away material, particularly for rounding off or roughing. || Select the size, length, density, and hardness based on what you want to do. For larger curves, use larger brushes (duh), for smoother curves use a higher density with a softer bristle.
|-
| Nail brushes || These are exclusively roughing tools and cannot be used to make precise curves. Can only really be used on crumbly foams. || NA
|-
| Vinyl carving knives || As the name implies, these were originally invented for carving vinyl. As a result, they can only really be used on foams that aren't crumbly, but are excellent for defining more precise detail. || To all intents and purposes, the shape of the tool is the shape of the cut it makes: a V shaped knife will cut a V shaped slot, a U shaped knife will cut a U shaped slot, etc.
Line 55:
| Knife || Used for quickly cutting away chunks || NA
