00:00If your dart barrels are getting chewed up every time they land, you're not alone,
00:03and honestly, the fix costs less than a pint. I dug through thousands of buyer reviews to find
00:09the best deals on dart shafts that actually protect your barrels, so let's count down the
00:13top 5. Starting at number 5, the Kissel Ross T19 is a one-piece integrated shaft in flight in a
00:19kite shape, which means nothing to pop loose and no metal edges grinding against your barrel.
00:24At $15.88 it's the priciest pick here, but with almost 4,900 sold and a 4.6 rating,
00:32players clearly think it's money well spent for a cleaner, more durable setup.
00:36Number 4 is this 24-gram steel tip set with aluminium shafts and flights included, and yes,
00:42the whole thing is just $6.86. With around 4,700 sold and a 4.7 rating, it's the easy
00:49pick if you
00:50want a solid, protective shaft without spending much. The aluminium body takes the hits so your
00:56barrel doesn't have to, and at that price you can grab a spare set. At number 3 we've got the
01:01Wants U 43mm Rotatable Aluminium Shafts, 3 pieces for just $4.15. The 360-degree rotating design lets
01:11the shaft spin out of the way when darts land close together, which means fewer direct hits on your
01:15barrel. With over 4,300 sold, a 4.5 rating, and color options like red, blue, and black,
01:23it's a no-brainer for the price. Number 2 is this soft tip set at roughly 17 grams,
01:28going for $6.61. The four-part assembly means each section is replaceable, so if something takes a
01:35beating, you swap one piece instead of the whole setup. Nearly 3,900 sold and a 4.4 rating, it's
01:42a
01:42smart pick if you throw soft tip and want a shaft that absorbs punishment without wrecking your
01:47barrels. And my number 1 pick, the Fox Smiling 41mm Aluminium Shafts with Flights included,
01:53just $4.22. That 4.8 rating is the highest on this entire list, with over 3,500 sold, and
02:02honestly,
02:02at 4 bucks you're getting serious barrel protection for pocket change. If you only buy one thing today,
