New invention (maybe)

I think it's a brilliant idea for those occasions when we need more than our whippet tip and shorter.

Thanks for hooking Jeff and I Jake!!

I wished having one on Snowking summit! Great idea, i just made one for myself. $20 is a good price, I spent hours in my basement. Thanks!

Here's the thing:
The BD whippet cam-lock closers are aluminum, not plastic, although they've done a pretty good job of making them look plastic.
I put one on the grinding wheel just to check.
Sure, you might screw one up, but it won't happen with one hit

Interesting idea, Jake.

By the way, the Flicklock Pro closer is actually stainless steel, not aluminum. Aluminum wouldn't work at all in such an application, it has minimal springiness and would brittle fracture almost immediately.

So the closer is even more rugged than you thought, and should survive fine in the use you're intending, since it's both harder and stronger than the 7075 aluminum that you're using for the new tip.
