Tip Burnisher
By Bob Kick from Florida on October 8, 2011
Does not do what I expected. Works to some degree on my 9.75 tip, may work better on larger tips.
Does its job
By Gary from Ithaca, NY on October 3, 2011
Does its job; I like it more than the burnisher that comes on the master tip tool, but it's not a fancy device by any means.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Quick and easy
By Vitor from Stª Maria da Feira, Aveiro on May 18, 2011
The perfect tool for the ones who don´t own a lather to burnish tips.
After taking care of my 'mushrom' tip i used this tool and it works perfectly well.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
It Does its Job
By Robert from Radford, VA on April 16, 2011
It burnishes, It works and is a good price. Other tools do the same or can be found on multi tools but is a good tool to have
I would recommend this item to a friend.

Excellent tool - just be careful.
By Terry from Wichita, Ks on March 17, 2011
I've used one of these for many years. The best way to use it is to wet the outside of your mushroomed tip with a little spit, then use a little pressure as you push it straight down over your tip. Twist the tool back & forth. If you push down too hard, you might twist your tip off. You'll get the feel of it after awhile.
I would recommend this item to a friend.

Plastic...unexpected...
By Randy from Virginia on February 19, 2011
Although plastic, it still feels pretty sturdy in it's making. I used it on a couple of tips and honestly couldn't tell any difference. I'll keep it in the bag just in case.
Not Impressed
By k from ma on February 17, 2011
Save your 5 bucks. Lick your finger go all around the outside of your tip (dont soak it) (Try not to get the top of your tip wet) Take your 5 dollar bill you would of spent. Fold it in half so it doesnt rip. Wrap it around your tip (hold it tight) And turn your stick back and forth several times.
You'll get the same thing and you can put 5 bucks back in your wallet.
Fun to work with

Quick & Easy Porper's Tip Burnisher
By Eugene from Clovis, CA on January 30, 2011
This tool works quick and easy if you don't have access to a lathe. I simply apply a little dab of Porper's Tip Touch Burnisher liquid to the tip's edge with a Q-Tip and lightly burnish with the leather round supplied. Then, I finish the job with this Porper Tip Burnisher for professional results.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Must have for every cue case
By al v from Cincinnati , Ohio on December 27, 2010
This tool has saved me $$$$ in tip repairs . I have never had a tip " mushroom " on me since I have been using it . I own several of them . I forgot to mention the decrease in miscues !
I would recommend this item to a friend.

decent
By Milo from CA on November 18, 2010
Does the job, but it seems to only burnish the top half on the sides of the tip.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Nice...
By Michael from Bedford, TX on November 2, 2010
Works as listed. Gives the tip a nice clean look after you shape it.

Average performance
By Claudio Gálvez from Miami, Florida on October 21, 2010
I tried it out with 12 mm and 13 mm tips and it worked good on the 12 mm only...

Not entirely sure how this thing works but it's pretty ineffective
By tbone from Garnet Valley, PA on September 22, 2010
Maybe not the fairest review, but when I try to "burnish" the tip edge with this thing, it pretty much looks the same.

Just works

Well made, very solid, looks like it will last forever. Does a great job, has found a permanent place in my bag's "tool" pouch.
I would recommend this item to a friend.

By Daniel from California on May 28, 2010

By Jeff on March 29, 2010
Worked great on my cue
Gets it done
By Charles on March 17, 2010
This is a decent burnisher, it gets the job done.
By ryan from atlanta on March 3, 2010
burnisher
By Mitchell on February 19, 2010
compact useful tool, can't really say anything bad about it except it is only a burnisher. If space is an issue, I would advise getting a multi-tool. If you just want a burnisher, this is the cheapest tool, and definately "the best bang for your buck"
Awesome
By Taylor on February 5, 2010
Out of the three Porper's tip tools I purchased to re-tip my house cues, this is the only one to really deliver the goods. I'd buy this thing again in a second.
By william on January 24, 2010
Burnishing can be done in many ways and I normally only do it for a new tip. This tool is handy and as effective as a piece of leather. It is more precise and adjusts to the tip size. But if over done can twist the tip off.
By Jim Keys from Troy, Mo on December 16, 2009
Works well
By Rachel on December 13, 2009
great item
Porpers tip shaper
By Dante Serrano from California on October 28, 2009
Product was great
It works
By Blake from Green Bay, Wisconsin on October 21, 2009
Works just like they say it does. The only complaint I have, is that if you use it with any chalk on your cue, it is hard to turn. All you have to do is wipe it out, and it's good as new though.
Good Product
By John Wasson on October 22, 2008
This product does exactly as advertised. i had no problem with it at all.
