And if so please share your thoughts.

Looks gimmicky, but I guess you never know until you try it.

I was waiting for the part where they show the gadget that fixes the mess you made of the ferrule?!

No idea how much they cost.
I always change my own tips, using razor blade, sandpaper, and a tip tool,
because of that I sometimes go on a hunt for devices designed to do the job just
to see what's out there and if it might make my life a little easier.

I used to do cue repair and a lot of my work came from handy dandy do it yourself tools

Every time I see a ferrule massacred by a tip tool like this, it about makes me barf.

Two good ways to do a tip:

1. Have a qualified cue repairman do it, minimal impact on the ferrule.

2. Do it yourself with tape and sandpaper, no impact to the ferrule.

Stay away from gadgets like this.

All the best,
