Russ:
Yeah... this is my first bopper... It’s time to replace it! If you can’t tell I really procrastinate when it comes to getting new tools... it lasted me 3 years

gutpile:
Russell,wrap it with sinew ..i don't think a band aid is gonna fix that one..LOL.. it looks like you are using it for spalling big hard rock.. LOL.. neolithics sells them for 3 a piece... very nice boppers too... I think you need a bigger bopper lol.....gut

JackCrafty:
Try this for a bopper. Go down to the hardware store and buy a 4-1/2" x 3/4" steel pipe nipple and cap. Grind down the nubs at the upper end of the cap.
