Agreed. For those that weren't very good with it or new people who want to try one, here is a post I wrote a couple of days ago that offers several tips that will help you have great success with it.
"Even though the Porper Mushroom Grazer allows you to set the depth of the cut, there is enough side to side play and slop in there that it makes it very easy to be able to accidentally tilt the tool at a slight angle if you aren't paying enough attention and being careful enough, and if you do accidentally change the angle you are holding the grazer or the shaft the blade can indeed then easily reach and nick the ferrule. Always holding the grazer at the same angle in relation to the shaft, and keeping a close eye on where the tip of the blade is in relation to the ferrule, is the key to not having any nicked ferrule accidents and if you do that it is very safe.
For those that are the careful types (or at least don't tend to be total klutzes or the type that really rush everything), the Porper Mushroom Grazer is the best tool for trimming the sides of the tip by hand (including on newly installed tips) both in terms of the quality of the results (true lathe quality) and in the speed with which you can get perfect results (total of about a minute after you have done it a couple of times and have the technique down, the first couple of times you will probably take several minutes, especially on a newly installed tip).
The tool even allows you to easily slope the sides of the tip at a slight angle (inward or outward either one) if for some reason you prefer that to having them parallel. One trick is to cut the sides with a slight outward sloping angle because they will end up dead parallel after you burnish the sides good, whereas if you cut them parallel to begin with the sides will often end up sloping inwards after you burnish depending on the tip hardness and how well you burnish.
The blades do dull over time but you can do a fair number of tips before they need replacing. Replacement blades are available and very cheap, and it is quicker and easier to get good results, and accidents are significantly less likely to happen, when using a very sharp blade that cuts very easily and cleanly so I highly suggest people replace them as soon as it is pretty noticeable that it is no longer cutting as easily and cleanly."
Longoni Cue Tip Tool
Not sure how long this has been out, but I just noticed it. Anyone used one yet? Are the blades replaceable? Are the shapers dime radius? Nickle? Both? Notice at the end of the video they say to look for the hologram on the package, and to...

Yeah, if the chalk lasts 10 shots I'll forget and shoot 11. Do it every time and you won't forget. Unless you use a lot of spin Master will still work for a couple of shots if you forget.
I would shit myself laughing if someone pulled this thing out and started clipping their nails.I am dead serious, I found things better.
I think the ULTIMATE TOOL is like Swiss Army Knife does many things.
Nothing well,

Working downtown one day couple construction workers were talking about playing pool after work I overheard them say no we can't go there they have a tournament on Tuesdays.
I thought why not. The bar had two 7ft valleys and a glass case with gloves and darts and a cuetec cue.
After checking out the bar cue situation I decided to buy the cuetec. It was different for sure but I manage to win the little 14 man tourney. Cue cost $120 I won $80 I gave the cue to a young kid that didn't have a stick.

i have an Ultimate. it does okay as a shaper and tapper, for anything else its a waste of time. use it all the time.
I tried the jump/break cue with the clear fiber glass.
I’m no gorilla, but I drove the joint into the butt and into the shaft in less than a week.

I've had good luck with Porter Cut-Rite and the Tip Burnisher. Just gotta wet the edges of the tip and be gentle with the burnisher.
I did order the Longoni mushroom trimmer, so we'll see how that goes.

I cant be carrying no 6' fishing rod when I visit my parole officer, it may be construed as a weapon and I'd be fixing to get more time. Dang, the Pocket Fisherman is a great invention!!!
