How to Get a Dart Tip Out of a Dart Board

One of the more frustrating things that can occur during a game of darts is having a tip stay in the board while the back half of the dart breaks off. The broken tip creates a dead spot on the board because, if a player throws a dart in that exact spot, the dart will bounce off instead of sticking properly. Removing broken tips will solve this problem.

1.Assess how you want to remove the broken tip. Some dart boards allow you to push the tip through the board where it falls into a well in the board that can later be removed. If this is the case, use a dart tip tool. It looks like a rounded awl and fits exactly into the dart tip.

2.Insert the dart tip tool into the dart tip.

3.Push the dart tip through the dartboard until you hear it fall into the well.

4.Retrieve the dart tip. Sometimes the well is open and the tip will fall straight out. Other times you may have to flip the dart board over, open a compartment in back and remove the tip.

 5.Decide if it's possible to pull the dart tip out. Some dart boards, such as electronic ones, do not allow you to push the tip through, so you need something to remove the tip. Needle nose pliers or a similar tool will get the job done.

6.Place the needle nose pliers around the broken tip. If the pliers are thin enough, place the top side of the pliers into the hollow tip and the squeeze the grip. Otherwise, you will need to open the pliers around the tip and squeeze the grip.

7.You may need to lean your other hand on the wall or dart board for leverage. Continue pulling with the pliers until the dart tip is removed.
