# How to Remove a Broken Dart Shaft: A Professional Guide
A broken dart shaft is a common issue that can hinder performance and potentially damage your dart barrel if not handled properly. Follow these expert-approved steps to remove the broken piece safely and efficiently.
Tools You’ll Need
- Needle-nose pliers
- Small screwdriver or dental pick
- Heat source (lighter or hairdryer)
- Replacement dart shafts
Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Assess the Break
- Determine if the shaft is snapped flush with the barrel or if a portion is still protruding.
- A visible stub makes removal easier, while a flush break requires extra care.
2. Use Needle-Nose Pliers (If Protruding)
- Grip the broken shaft firmly with pliers.
- Twist counterclockwise while pulling gently to avoid damaging the threads.
3. Apply Heat for Stubborn Breaks
- Lightly heat the barrel’s threaded area with a hairdryer or lighter (briefly) to loosen adhesive or plastic residue.
- Avoid overheating, as it can warp the barrel.
4. Extract Flush Breaks with a Screwdriver
- Insert a small flathead screwdriver or dental pick between the shaft remnants and barrel.
- Pry gently in a circular motion to loosen the broken piece.
5. Clean the Threads
- Remove any leftover debris with a toothpick or compressed air.
- Ensure threads are smooth before inserting a new shaft.
Preventing Future Breaks
- Use high-quality, durable shafts (e.g., nylon or aluminum).
- Avoid overtightening—finger-tight is sufficient.
- Regularly inspect shafts for wear and replace them preemptively.
