Cuetec's LD R360 shaft is a solid choice and no where near "trash".
Humble opinion
Brian i have to laugh about this, but one of the people you said you all agreed together with, Just sent me a pm asking where they could buy the tip shaper i posted in the thread.
So I am glade you are humble about this.
Ps couldn't help from to not chuckle
ArizonaPete and bbb and I all agree on the same two tools:
Joel Pope's last4ever
and
Willard shaper
these are all you would need.
in my humble opinion.

I'm a fan of the It's George tool. Mine is at least 15-20+ years old and it looks and functions like new, they simply do not wear out. I love the weight
of the tool when using it as a tapper. The only negatives I can think of is the tip radius portion is more dime shaped for you nickel radius lovers, the abrasive
is pretty aggressive. I prefer harder tips so for me this is an added benefit.
I also own a Willards and find the abrasive just a little less aggressive than desired and clogs quickly if your using it to shape a tip, but it works fine as a quick scuffer,
there's no tapper on it though.

They're only $19.95 at my local poolhall. At $24.95 I still think they are worth the cost. Like everything else, opinions will vary and mine are no exception. YMMV

I have the Ultimate Tip Tool and I like it well enough. Seems like you have to work it pretty hard to shape a new tip though. I also have the Cuetec chalk holder which is great because the stick doesn't fall out of your pocket because it's pretty big and it has a tip pick in it which I like better than using a tapper.
A 1.5" x 1.5" Piece of 220 Grit Sandpaper, and a New Dollar Bill. Sandpaper is a great tip rougher upper, and the Dollar Bill works great as a Burnisher.
This is assuming you Tip is in a proper shape.

Me too! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hey Mike, these look pretty cool. what are the two holes/indentation on the front of the handle for?
storage
you can screw 2 screw on tips in the holes for storage is the only thing I know that fits in there .

When I die, they'll have to pry the Last4Ever and the Willard Shaper from my two hands.
I have the same Ultimate tool I bought 15 plus years ago. Great tool...
