    I've also got a screw top on a keyring style tip pik from craftsman cues, the blue version in my snooker cue case, the bowtie is in my pool cue case

      I've just emailed the manufacturers explaining differences between snooker/UK pool and American pool tips and have asked if they can look in to making a smaller diameter shaper/scuffer with a finer grit. Will let you know what the response is...

        They most likely won't be interested as the setup costs will be high and it would be a move into a new market.

          Aye more than likely the case although modifying the existing tool is a relatively easy option. Never know without asking though.

                      Can do bank transfer with ADR , if you need anything like this or anything to do with snooker, he's always a good first call, if he doesn't have what you want he will know where you can get it.
                      This is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!

                        Cheers,reason I didn't go to ADR is I thought i would need PayPal.

                          Really ~~~~ I'm actually thinking of buying one.
                          Then I should just get a normal tip pik instead of the 3 in 1 expensive tool !!!

                              I have had one for 2 years, bought it, seduced by the promise of what it can do, it is a beautifully made product, but
                              for American Pool only.
                              I have experimented with it on my clubs cues, when unobserved of course and all I managed to do was to destroy the the tips.
                              Snooker tips do not benefit from being spiked and ground.
                              Having one one in your kit may impress non informed people but it is a beautifully engineered piece of rubbish, unless you play American Pool.

                                don't agree - it is too abrasive is used aggressively but i find it an extremely useful tool.
