Can somebody give me the dimension of the Ultimate Tip Tool? I'm trying to order one, but it probably wouldn't be short enough fit my box case. I will need to order everything separately if it doesn't fit. Responses will be greatly appreciated.

the ultimate tip tool is about 1x3.5 inches, and it sucks
it will scratch and chip your ferulle, the shapers are great but you can get just the a shaper.

I agree, I use it to shape the tip to either a nickel or dime radius but the burnishing legs succeed in scratching my ferrule quite well. In hopes of avoiding that problem, I plan to use a dremel tool to grind the inside-ends of the legs to a larger width and will cover them with electrical tape.

you should get the Porper Tip Burnisher, it works great
if the tip is realy realy mashroomed you can cut the edges with a box-knife and then use the burnisher :)

The Porper tip burnisher works well and if you want to shape or re-shape your tip, the Willard Nickle or Dime shaper will do the job very well.
