    Default Looking for a full set of Shelbo 'Mini' Whisper Tips + Necks

    Title says it all. I'm looking for the full mini whisper tips set, preferably with both necks and ideally the newer stainless ones. Artco is currently trying to replace the machinist who had been making them (he retired), so I assume it's a tall order, but that's what I'm looking for. Paypal ready.

    Bump. If anyone has any mini torch tips, I'm interested in seeing what's available before going through one of the retailers. Thanks!

    Still looking for the full set, no one seems to have it in stock. Got a bunch of stuff I'd be willing to trade depending on your needs, or I'm happy to pay for them.

    Keep hunting. They are worth it. I am now using whisper tips on my redmax and my hand torch. I wish you luck.

    Thanks! Talking with Dirty at the Sherlock's demo last night after watching him use the hornet and then tell me how much he prefers the shelbos is what renewed my hunt for them. Honestly, if someone has a spare normal neck for the set, I think I may be able to get the tips through the website, but they seem to be sold out of the neck.

    I'm aware of the blast shield tips, but the people I've spoken to who've used both seem to prefer Shelbo's. Could just be personal preference, but it also seems like Shelbo's give you greater overall versatility for the money.

    If you don't plan to work on very small (and I mean really small) objects / scultures then there's a good chance you'll never need to change the tip. also those shelbo tips are brass
