CueShark Tip Tool

Thanks, im probably going to go with the gold one :thumbup:

Not to drift the thread but I found the same with the Pocket Chalkers.
With the string rubbing on your back pocket, it doesn't take long at all for the cord to wear thru. I had to fix mine with a strong leather cord and hasn't broken since.

The leather holder stretches and eventually you have to wrap your chalk
in masking tape so the chalk won't fall out.

I wouldn't mind trying the PUP Tip tool. Looks like it is a good all around tool.

Sounds more like you should invest in the original Cueshark. The chalker is excellent and always stays with you as it clips on your waistband or belt. Even if you don't use powder, there's always someone looking for some and the bottom multi function cue tip tool serves as a personalized pocket marker that is always with you as well. This has got to be the best all in one out there at any cost! Some of us spend thousands on cue sticks, why not spend a very small fraction of that getting the right tool for it?

Ok, I tried loading the pictures to this post, but it didn't show in the Preview Post, so if anyone is interested in seeing my personalized Gold CueShark, you can view it on my profile under albums in the one titled cues.

I got mine from Robin Dobson. She had a booth in Vegas during the APA Nationals. I bet she might have some left. Great people to deal with for any quality pool items.

????

is CueShark still selling/making the Original CueShark if so how much does it cost ?

Been trying for over a week to locate a CueShark P.U.P. with zero success. Have contacted the folks over at CueShark and left several messages, all of which have been unanswered. Are these folks out of business or just really bad at customer service?

Talked to at least two vendors (couldn't find anyone anywhere that had any of these in stock) and they both claimed they placed orders with CueShark and were given shipment dates which came and went after which they couldn't seem to get ahold of anyone at CueShark either.

Would appreciate any info that anyone has on this company and whether I should move on and choose another product instead, or if anyone has any info on where I could purchase a P.U.P. Thanks in advance!


My current review, subject to change if I can ever contact anyone at CueShark and make a purchase, is based solely on customer service since I can't seem to find the product available for use anywhere, That review is all negative at this time and they're not recommended.

They look great. I wish they were in stock

Recieved my CUESHARK PUP today. I was interested in the origional but it's no longer available. As others have stated the quality is first rate. I was very apprehensive to try the next greatest tool on my Ivory furreles, thinking it might scratch the Ivory. I happened to have a shaft with cracked Ivory to test it on ( before I have it replaced on Monday) it worked perfectly! Not a mark on the Ivory. I am impressed! I'm no longer interested in the origional as the PUP is a perfect size. The only problem I experienced wasn't the fault of CUESHARK. The tracking info I recieved stated it still didn't ship when it was sitting in my mail box. I will recommend this to all my friends, it's very good!

Ordered and received my PUP all within a weeks time. Does everything better than expected. Couldn't be happier. I'm going to be ordering a few a Xmas gifts..

How well does it work for shaving the sides of layered tips. I replace my own tips

I purchased this tip tool last week and the reviews I've read prior to my purchase have lived up to their claims. The tool is made of very high quality of aircraft grade aluminium, does everything as it describes, and looks very sleek. I enjoy the looks of it and can't think of anything negative to say about this item, other than it being a bit on the pricey side. When I was looking for a shaping tool, I considered purchasing Willard's dime/nickle tool but I don't really know whether I'd stick with nickle or dime radius. I decided to get the cue shark because it carries both and has a few more extra features. Overall I recommend this product, looks great, feels great, nothing requires to be replaced and comes with lifetime warranty. As of this post, this product retails for $30 USD.

That's strange, it was fine earlier this year. Seems like I can't find his contact information via Google search either. But fortunately I was communicating with the owner via email last summer and his signature contained his contact information.

I had the PUP and loved it. I left it in a poolroom accidentally. I found the web site down also.
