1/2mm thin wall design provides unmatched precision, feels like the needle is directly connected to your hand
Molded cork grip helps absorb vibration and serves as a renewable resource over plastic.
Includes a cork shelf off the back end for additional hand support. It serves to bridge the gap between grip and machine, providing comfort & control, keeping the weight more forward with less effort exerted to keep the machine balanced.
Shelf is pre-cut for easy removal, should it not sit well on your machine, which occured with some rotaries we tested.
Memory foam grips provide unmatched comfort and will not become slippery when wet.
We have designed the tubes to err on the larger side of fitting the corresponding grouping as we feel ink flow is paramount.
Real steel tubes.

These tubes are great. Best disposables I've ever used. :+1:

The stiffness of the backstem and that extra cork shelf really cause zero vibration and shaking. Absolute best disposable tube, I’ve tried wrath, true, and countless others. Black claw knows what they’re doing!

I had a pretty good idea that I was going to like these from using black claw’s needles religiously for the last couple of years. And yes, they are perfect. They are light and durable. The memory foam is super comfortable and the cork grip is just a really smart design choice. These are well thought out through and through. Now that I’ve used them, how could I go back to anything else knowing that a company that keeps it true to the craft shows up and comes correct of every damn product they make? I’m a lifer.
A Lil much vibration thow

Ink flow is amazing, like amazing... and their loud as all hell, but thats ok. The only complaint I have is the vibration is worse than I anticipated. They do vibrate less than any solid plastic tube I use. However I typically use an aluminum rpg grip with a regular needle and a plastic cartridge tip. I did like these enough to buy a dan kubin just to see what lining with a rotary designed to do that with these tubes would be like. That being said I would love to see something added under the cork, to add a little bit of weight and absorb some of the vibration. PS you guys always make the best shit. Double PS you guys should totally totally make a disposable metal cartridge tip. One that fits your needles. And make a cartridge grip that a 15+ mag can fit through the inside. Scrubbing a cartridge tube done this way takes ten seconds as opposed to ten minutes on a regular steel tube. He'll if Noone else would buy em I'd buy em all...
Best there is

Seriously these are the best disposables there are. The steel is really solid and doesn’t bounce like plastic, the grips are comfortable, AND they are eco-friendly. Total game changer, don’t sleep. I’ll never use anything else
No other comparable tubes out there
