It takes a little getting use to,now I won't smoke a pipe without them. I drive a lot very comfortable, 5 Stars all the way!!!

I love these things. I wasn't sure at first, but I mostly get to smoke my pipes when I'm driving home from work. Great for clenching. All of my pipes have them now.

I have an a 20+ year old Savinelli that is one of my favorites, its' age reflected by the wear on the bit inflicted by my teeth. Since these looked like an inexpensive solution, I decided to give them a try. It changed the whole feel of the pipe and ... Read More
made it far easier to hold in my teeth whilst working at the computer. Since I like to smoke when I am writing I could not be happier. I am not sure if it will work with a Peterson P- lip but I will give that a try. I would recommend these wholeheartedly to anyone who smokes and works with one's hands at the same time. Read Less
These Rubber bits
April 07, 2014
Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Just got these today, put 1 on my favorite pipe and it works like a charm. Now, I wear dentures and couldn't grip my pipe to well, but now, it's a snap, like when I had real teeth, and, these work lots better than rubber bands,which I used to use.
Just what I needed

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
I often clench, and this thing makes the clenching more comfortable and relieves me from the fear of leaving tooth marks on an expensive pipe. Obviously, it tastes of rubber initially so slightly washing it before first use may help.
Great for some

Great for driving. I find that I salivate too much and develop clenching habits when using these.
Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
The best quality pipe bits, I could find. My cat, or dog can't chew through them.
Not For All Situations

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
... but for the ones you need them for, they're important. Especially for driving. You're not going to break your wallet but you could very well bite through your stem on a bumpy road without it!

easy to use and fits almost every pipe I own. They slide on and off easy for cleaning which you can do with a bit of alcohol. The rubber is thick and helps hold it in your teeth while not actually chewing up you stem.
You need them on every pipe

Protect your stems!! Feels great on the teeth and will make it easier to support larger pipes with your teeth. I haven't punctured one yet. Easy to install and remove. So cheap, might as well give them a try.

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Years ago when I was a young man I hated pipe bits. They were displeasing to the eye and having them between my teeth was like chewing on rubber bands. Unfortunately when I was younger I used to actually chew through acrylic pipe stems and forget vul... Read More
canite, I would chomp through those in no time. I quit pipe smoking altogether about 20 years ago but I recently picked up my pipes again as I realized I was missing something that the occasional cigar didn't even come close to providing. Now that I have gotten older and wiser and my jaws seem to have lost some of their bite strength, I started using this product and so far I'm pleased. I've gotten used to the texture and they are pretty comfortable. They sure as hell beat having a pipe with a slippery acrylic stem sliding around between your teeth. Now most of my pipes wear this product and so far so good. What the long term prognosis will be in terms of durability remains to be seen but they are cheap as dirt so who cares. Read Less

Over-priced. Go buy yourself a few feet of black (or clear) vinyl tubing from your local home improvement store, cut it to your desired length. Lasts a lot longer and saves $$$.

I only have one decent briar, and while I usually use my cobs or a cheapy for hands-free smoking, I have found that over time my teeth have been cutting into the stem.
These start off very small, and it was hard to get on. But once it was on, it is ... Read More
so tight it conforms perfectly to the stem and almost looks like part of the pipe. My stem is now protected, and is also less likely to slip out of my teeth and hit the ground.
I noticed the "rubber tire" smell when opening the packet, but can't taste it when smoking...at all. Read Less
Good for Stem Biters
October 18, 2012
Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
I find these useful on long straight stem pipes, where I have a tendency to bite down on the stem to support the weight. When I have an empty pipe in my mouth, I also find that I bite down on the stem quite hard. I don't find that the the rubber prot... Read More
ectors impart any flavour on my tobacco, but that's because I have minimal contact with them. If I push the rubber a few millimetres past the actual stem end, my lips are on the stem, and my teeth are on the rubber, and the smoke flows normally. Read Less

While they do not tend to fit large, wide bit stems, this is a must have for my pipes. Soft, easy on the teeth & the pipe, you can't go wrong with a rubber bit.
Money saver and improves comfort!

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
I'm tough on bits! I'd rather spend 50 cents on one of these than $25.00 on a new bit for an old friend. Improves comfort substantially, too, IMHO.

I feel very confident that I am not damaging my pipes as long as I am using these. For that, I am grateful. They fit pretty tight, probably by design, and can be annoying to fight on and off.
Phenomenal
November 30, 2020
Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
These pipe bits are a must with acrylic stems. So much easier to clench using these. They do have a slightly rubbery taste the first few times you use them, but that dissipates quickly. I have one on every pipe I own.
Raw chemical taste

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
the only downside is that these rubber bits suit stems with only slightly wider endings. clenching is more comfortable with these and you protect both your teeth and the stem of your pipe. 5*

Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
So I like this bit.
It's made of rubber(I think) and fits nicely on most bits. But on wider fish tails like Dunhills it is a bit bummer to putting on and taking off. living minor rubber marks...I recommend pulling towards tenon in that case.
Product: Tampers & Tools Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
I have a preference for jaw hangers. These make it much more comfortable to leave the pipe hanging while I use both hands for projects.

You can ease the clench n relax puffing your pipe. Makes the pipe life a bit better.
Work very well even on P lip pipes.

For years I never bothered with these things. I think when I first tried them they tasted like a car tire must. That was years ago and just not so any more. These bits provide the lasting protection and comfort you want. I tried using shrink tubing... Read More
for a while, but I didn't like having to heat them on and I had to replace the tubing every month-or-so from my teeth wearing a hole in them. Plus, these are much cheaper than tubing. Win-win. So, now I've totally switched to these rubber bits. I'm a clencher and I do a large percentage of my smoking while driving and these have made life so much easier. I ended up buying them for all my pipes which helps protect the stems from chatter, and every new pipe I buy gets one. I'm not sure how long they last as I haven't had to replace one yet; once-a-year, maybe? I don't know. The point is they last a long while. Try them and see. I'm a softy convert, you may just like them too. UPDATE: One thing I've noticed is that these work best if slid on past the button and not left over the button as the picture shows. It's a lot less intrusive and more natural feeling on the pipe that way. For those that are wondering, these things stretch pretty far. I've been able to get them to fit everything from a Missouri Meerschaum Danish bit to a Savinelli 320 stem. Hope this helps. WARNING: I need to add a warning about using these with vulcanite/Ebonite stems. The softy bit completely blocks out sunlight. So while the rest of the exposed stem oxidizes, the portion under the bit wont. This can create a nightmare when trying to restore a stem back to it's original solid black luster. So while I stand by my review, I would not recommend them for vulcanized rubber stems. Most of my pipes have acrylic stems so I didn't know. Thanks to Mike from Briar Blues of the YTPC for pointing this out. Read Less

great smoker with out costly repairs or replacements. Yes, they are rubber with a rubber taste, but if you wash with unscented dish soap before use, and wipe down with ethanol after each smoke, the rubber smell and taste diminishes after a few bowls.
