Diamondback ATROX Tip Tool Review

ATROX Tip Tool

ATROX Tip Tool by Diamondback

Time to get back to reviewing, and first up is the new ATROX tip tool by Diamondback. This is one of the more unique items to come out in the past few years, as it is a nice multi-purpose tool. Diamondback calls it a 10-in-1 tool, however I don’t think I’d go so far as to say it has 10 uses. That being said, it does have a number of different tools available, making it worth the $35.99 MSRP tag.

Pros:

-It has both a dime and nickel scuffer, a nice feature considering most tools only offer one or the other.

-The tip picker works nicely as well in a similar way to the industry standard Tip Pik.

-It has a magnetic seal, making it compact enough to fit in a cue case pocket.

-It carries a lifetime warranty, so if it breaks, you can call Diamondback for a replacement.

Cons:

Some of the other “tools” don’t work to my satisfaction or simply aren’t really relevant. For example, they claim one of the tools to be a bridge elevation. I suppose you could use it that way, but I wouldn’t really call it a tool. You may as well call it an 11-in-1 tool as you could use it as a paperweight or a crime deterrent.

Where to Buy:

ATROX at PoolDawg.com - $29.95
