Im buying a second set of darts and want to re point them , So i have 2 questions -

What points would you recommend for a player who holds there dart with a finger on the point ?
Which dart re pointer would you recommend ? Now i dont want to spend the earth guys , Its just for me to re point my own darts

As far as repointers go, I've got one of these - Harrows Repointer although DC now stock similar models by Designa at £15 cheaper.

As far as points go - either of these would be my suggestion (although I don't hold the points, so I'm not an expert lol) - finger grip or knurled grip

Is this the one you were thinking of ?

There are several the same - when you add the vat to the one at A180 you will get to around the £43 mark - the Designa ones at DC are only £35 whereas the Harrows is £50 (although I only paid £30 when I got mine).

I have used mine several times now with no problems - although I haven't tried Target Storm points on it yet.

The red parts in my previous post are links to DC by the way lol

depends if you want to have a grip on the point too....I'm guess yes from your post. I personally hold the point of the dart with the upper side of my fingernail....i know it sounds strange, but it is almost just a guide...therefore I don't need a grip on the point to hold....but I just got some unicorn grippers and they are good, but ripping my board to pieces

Andy,

What points id recommend definately the ones i have on now the ringed grip points

They grip the board well and therefor you dont need to roughen up the sides of your points

again as these points shall last a lifetime ..I got mine in a swap deal with swapping some

guy a set of darts for his set and they had the ringed points on which i fully recommend

I personally dont hold my finger down the point of the dart but for someone whom does then

again thats also a plus point with the ring-gripped points ..

I was thinking beforehand possibly would they rip up a dartboard while retrieving the darts

but now realise they are fine and dont do such at all ..Well recommended the ringed points
and i shall never look back again for sure ..

As for dart - repointer sorry never had one to say ..

I also hold my darts with a finger on the point and for the last year I have been using the target storm finger grip points and absolutely love them!! as far as changing them I'm sure the harrows point tool will work to put them in it's getting them out that's the problem so once they are in they pretty much stay in.

Hatrick

I need grip points,i cannot fault the target storm points,used these in most sets ive had,i use the A180 repointer and it does every point,i never used the unitool so cant say what its like,but cant imagine it doing storm points.

Was very hard work though and was sweating with the effort!

just use a rivet gun to get them out.
