Pool accessories you will never buy again

There is something that I lost that I would buy again. It was a tip pick tool that was in a head
of a bolt. Pretty awesome compared to the tip-pik. I traded my good ol' Earl Strickland 20+
years ago for 15 of them. Gave them all away for Christmas, kept one...that I lost. Anyone
ever see something like this? Or was it just a dream...

I’ve used nothing else for years.
The only “tool” I use every time I play is the tip pik part of my bow tie.

if you mean the one with a screw to set tip height, it's brilliant. people borrow mine all the time
i guess my answer is a chinese knockoff of the sandman tip shaper. the pattern of the metal points was all wrong so all it does is gently massage the leather
Any tip tool for use while at the table other than the Cue Shark tip tool I managed to get a while back. I've tried nearly every tip tool on the market, past and present, and the Cue Shark does everything I need while at the pool room.
Also...any expensive chalk. I like em and most work fine, but why pay more when Master is more than good enough.

Pocket Reducers.
My Brunswick Randolph had huge pockets so I bought a set of pocket reducers to help sharpen my game.
Pretty much worthless as the "rubber" made for some very strange action if one grazed them.

This mushroom grazer... Proper Little Shaver?
I never had much luck with it, especially with layered tips.

Back in the 1990s, Master chalk made a two-piece rubber chalk holder. You'd place the chalk in one box and then slip a second box over top that had a hold in the top so you could use the chalk to chalk your tip. Worthless unless you took a pen knife to the top to cut away more of the opening.
I use the Porper Mushroom Tool, everytime I put a shaft away after play, guess I killing the start of any mushroom before it grow to be a problem.
My king cobra snake re-worked rails for my gold crown. Playing on this gold crown with no rails is an absolute *****.

I’ll gladly take it off your hands for you.
Makes banks a little tougher, DOESN'T it!
I have them and I think they are great.
Not exactly meant for playing games with them in... they are incredible for working on accuracy.
If you watch pro matches from the early 2000’s you’ll see that every time a tournament is using the Sardo Rack, it was Carmine Sardo himself doing the racking. Made me suspicious that the rack must be a pain to use.
Later I heard that yes indeed the instructions tell you to tap all the balls in place to train your cloth (like your cloth is a magic rack template). So the Sardo Rack is just a $100 tool to make the balls fall into your pre-trained holes. Geez.
