Dart Point Accessories – Replacing, Maintaining, and Repairing

With the right dart point accessories, you can replace, maintain, and, if necessary, repair steel-tip and soft-tip dart points. From the classic dart repointer for replacing pressed-in steel-tip dart points to special tools for modern interchangeable point systems, and even grinding stones and tip removers, there is a suitable tool for almost every task.

At Diplomatgames, you will find practical accessories for your dart points – for classic steel-tip darts, modern interchangeable point systems, and soft-tip darts.

What dart point accessories are available?

Different tools are needed depending on the dart and the type of point used. While classic steel-tip dart points are changed with a repointer, modern interchangeable point systems have their own tools. For soft-tip darts, tip removers are particularly practical when a plastic point breaks off directly at the thread.

Typical dart point accessories include:

• Dart repointer and point changers
• Tools for interchangeable points
• Tip removers
• Grinding stones and point sharpeners
• Spare parts for point changers
• Further assembly and maintenance accessories

Dart Repointer – changing classic steel-tip dart points

A dart repointer, also known as a point changer, is needed to remove classic pressed-in steel-tip dart points from a barrel and insert new points.

The barrel is securely fixed in the repointer. Then the existing point can be carefully pulled out and a new point pressed in.

A repointer is particularly interesting for players who:

• want to change classic steel-tip dart points themselves
• want to try out different point lengths
• want to replace damaged points
• want to customize their darts with new points

Those who regularly use different steel-tip dart points can save themselves a trip to the dart shop for a point change.

Point Tools for interchangeable point systems

Modern steel-tip interchangeable point systems do not require a classic repointer for normal point changes. Instead, small tools specifically designed for the respective system are used.

These include, for example, tools for:

• Target Swiss Point
• BULL'S CP Points
• Harrows Quick Points
• Shot Turbo Points
• Winmau Switch Points
• Caliburn EVO Points

With the appropriate tool, the point can be loosened, unscrewed, and then a new interchangeable point inserted.

Important: Always use the tool intended for the specific interchangeable point system.

Accessories for Caliburn EVO Points

The Caliburn EVO System holds a special position among interchangeable points.

With a normal steel-tip dart barrel, the classic point is first removed. Then a suitable EVO Spigot is pressed into the point receiver of the barrel.

For the initial conversion, therefore, the following components may be needed:

• classic repointer
• EVO Spigots
• EVO Repoint Tool
• EVO Point Driver

After successful assembly, the spigot remains in the barrel. The actual EVO Points can then be quickly changed with the appropriate tool.

This allows many classic steel-tip darts to be retrofitted with an interchangeable point system.

Dart point grinding stones and point sharpeners

Steel-tip dart points become blunt over time or can develop a very smooth surface due to frequent playing. This can change their grip in the sisal dartboard.

With a dart point grinding stone or point sharpener, the surface can be carefully worked.

The aim is not to grind the dart point extremely sharp. A slightly roughened surface can already provide better grip in the sisal.

Depending on the design, for example, the following are available:

• classic grinding stones
• compact point sharpeners
• sharpening tools for the dart case

Why steel-tip dart points should not be too sharp

An extremely sharp dart point is not automatically better.

If the tip is needle-sharp, it can damage sisal fibers more severely. At the same time, a slightly rounded and finely roughened tip can often hold very reliably in the board.

Therefore, a grinding stone should mainly be used to remove damage and slightly roughen the surface – not to make the dart as sharp as possible.

Tip removers for broken soft-tip dart points

With soft-tip darts, it can happen that a plastic point breaks off directly at the thread. The remaining thread then gets stuck in the barrel and can no longer be gripped with the fingers.

This is exactly what a tip remover is for.

The tool is pressed or screwed into the remaining plastic piece. Then the broken thread piece can be unscrewed from the barrel.

Especially for regular soft-tip dart players, a tip remover is therefore an essential basic piece of equipment in the dart case.

Tools for on the go

Not every dart point tool needs to be large. Many modern point tools and tip removers are deliberately compact and can be easily stored in the dart case.

Especially for league and tournament players, it is advisable to always have important tools with you.

A practical set of equipment can consist of the following components, for example:

• Tool for your own interchangeable point system
• Tip remover for soft-tip darts
• Small grinding stone for steel-tip darts
• Replacement points

This way, many minor problems can be solved directly at the playing location.

Which dart point accessories do I need?

That primarily depends on your dart setup.

Dart / Point	Useful Accessories
Classic Steel-tip Dart Point	Repointer, Grinding Stone
Target Swiss Point	Swiss Point Tool
BULL'S CP Point	CP Point Tool
Harrows Quick Point	Quick Point Tool
Shot Turbo Point	Matching Point Tool
Winmau Switch Point	Matching Switch Point Tool
Caliburn EVO	EVO Tools, Spigots and potentially Repointer
Soft-tip Dart Point	Tip Remover and Replacement Points

Before ordering a tool, you should therefore always check which point system your dart uses.

Properly maintaining dart points

Regular inspection, while not indefinitely extending the lifespan of a dart point, helps to identify problems early.

For steel-tip darts, you should check whether:

• the point is bent
• the surface is damaged
• the point is securely seated in the barrel
• there is sufficient grip in the board

For soft-tip darts, particular attention should be paid to bent points, damaged threads, and material cracks.

Damaged points should be replaced in good time.

Dart point accessories for recreational and tournament players

For casual players, a small basic set of equipment is often sufficient. However, those who regularly play in leagues or tournaments should be prepared for minor defects.

Especially a broken soft tip or a damaged interchangeable point can be fixed within minutes with the right tool.

This way, the familiar dart setup remains operational and does not have to be replaced due to a minor defect.
