We have not had any problems with the tips. They have lasted for years with no problems.

Several different sets are available. Use search term: Aoyue 937+soldering tipsI chose to buy the few individual tips I use most. So far they've held up well under hard use.

It is a black-colored tip, that looks plastic, but may be carbide as I'm told that it too is black in color. Hope this helps.

The tip is all metal. It may scratch Teflon over time. I find it works best in a smaller diameter bowl or measuring cup. It does work well.

The tips no, but the handle (tip holder) is. Initially the tips seem "dead" but when you drop one into the holder it immediately picks up the magnetic pull from the handle (and remains magnetized after you remove it). Well over half of my tips are now magnetized. Screws, small nuts, and that other little thing you always seem to drop are easily picked up.

The tips are much like a walking cane material. A firmer rubber substance but not hard plastic.

Mike, the stylus comes with both rubber/silicon tips and plastic tips. mine has a rubber tip installed in it already, and the little baggy has three more rubber tips and also two plastic tips...so 6 total...and the tool to swap them out.

Good question. These are not 440 Stainless steel hardened tips and they are from China.

Not that I could tell. They were a soft foam like material that just ripped. I mean, I guess if you're crafty you could figure out a way to replace the tips.

They are made of a rigid plastic and are flexible. I have used them multiple times with no problems. They are very sharp.

Hi. Yes you can use the standard tips. I have not had any issues with them.

The tips are 1 1/4 x 7/16. They fit the metal walking sticks you see people using when hiking.

The tips do not break easily. The graphite is centered in the shaft of the pencil. These pencils are of excellent quality. I would definitely order them again.

I don't know what the nipple tips are made of. I would not buy these as they leak (4 out of 4 I tried leaked). I bought other ones from a farm supply store and not one leaked at all.
