Skyway 3 in 1 Premium Tobacco Pipe Tool Tamper - Silver Chrome

This is a very well made and durable SS Tool. It has a "flat oval" Tamper fitting cleanly within the bowl. There are no sharp/jagged edges to scrape the char of the bowl when stamping, as the tamer sides radius inward. The pick and bowl cleaner have a (ball bearing ??) Type inner locks wich allows the tool to click and remain in the open position. I like this because it is a positive open position without the tool flopping arround...simply fold it closed like a pen knife. The pick is more than long enough to loosen to the bottom of the bowl and tapers to a "blunt nose" so as not to dig at the bottom of a warm or moistened briar. The scraper tool as I call it, is not sharp edged to gouge the char, it has a thin blunt edge. One side of the scraper is smoothed and the opposite side has the typical saw edge. The saw edges again are smoothed but deep enough to remove debri...perfect !!! The tools by the tamper head when in the closed position fold behind the tamper head, so as not to interfere with the bowl edges while tamping. Star screws attach the tools so if required to disassemble and clean is easily achieved. These screws are nicely recessed so as not giving the "cheap" flush mount appearance. Holding the tool has a nice weight...not to heavy but not Cindy light either. The tool is smoothed so some with slight hand tremors may want to add a nice "sticker" to the sides assisting in holding the tool. The SS finish is buttery smooth. I do wish....myself that 3-4 grip serations (at the top of the tamper by the screws) would be present to help on gripping the tool.....but no deal breaker by a LONG LONG SHOT. This is worth every penny...buy with confidence.

The sleek design offers elegance and durability. The flip out mechanism is much like a knife design, holding the tool in place during use and offering a great grip to clean out cake build up on you pipe.This will be a great gift for pipe smokers or something a pipe smoker should add to his pipe kit. The tamper, scraper and nail are also heavy duty and will last a long time. My guess is you purchasing a new pipe before a new pipe tool.

I am a technical writer and greatly appreciate sound design that is well executed. This pipe tool is all that and more. Specifically, its smooth silken finish, graceful curve and overall very is aesthetically pleasing to look at as well as feel. I have bought six of these so far in order to have one in each car as well as another in various places around my house and office. I will probably buy more in the future as these they tend to grow legs and walk away!

100%!! This little tool has found a home with me !! It's the perfect size to fit either in my 5th pkt or in my little pkt grooming kit. The slip-joint action is perfect, the aerator is very thin without being flimsy like others I've seen. The cake-scraper isn't very effective until you take 5mins to put just the slightest of edges on it but then it's awesome. Truly stainless steel and no rust to speak of. Also, the fact that after multiple uses, it just wiped off clean, but if not, you CAN take it part for cleaning and oiling. This is the one you're looking for. Trust me. 100%

The look of this pipe tool has stood well its use, I switch to it when I go somewhere "special" or for special events. I also keep it on my table beside my easy chair for daily use. The spring for the pick and scraper is like new still. I carry a more plain tool normally, but this one gets as much use and there is nothing loose. I may buy a couple more one to carry daily and one for a fellow pipe smoker whose tool is showing its age.

I got this for my husband, who likes to smoke a pipe sometimes. It helps tamp down the tobacco for a steady burn, and the tools on the sides help dig out the ash, tar and sediment. Being stainless steel, it should last a lifetime. He is very pleased with the quality and usefulness of this tool, and uses it often.

Meets expectations

This is a very nice item. If you're tired of small, light weight Czech type tools, but don't want a one-function fancy tamper, this is what youv'e been looking for. Feels substantial in the hand, tools are perfect. Can't beat it.
