Never liked the tip pik or tapper. I had something called the brad that I liked but lost. What's the best and safest tool for tips out there?

I use a 100 (or 120) Grit nail file for my tip maintanence. Cheap, last a long time, easy to procure, useful for other things (like finger nails).

Awesome. That's what I use. Some sandpaper from family dollar lol. Thought I could find something that was like a multi tool.

I have always liked the Cue Cube. Has a shaper side that seems to be a nickel radius and has a scuffer side that is a much larger radius so it scuffs without changing the radius if you rock it back and forth a couple of times, turn the cure a quarter turn, do it again, etc.

I just ordered a Williard Shaper with a dime radius. I want to start shooting with the tighter radius and hope this produces that radius easier than the cue cube.

Willard. and 220 GRIT SANDPAPER!
