do they work good when they are put together and do they break easier?

They work good most times I've connected them but I have run into instances where they fly apart while getting unstuck. I've also broken clips. I think heavy wire will not only make them usable again but also prevent them from flying apart. Will have to wait until I get stuck again to try it out.

You can. It's not like they'll break. They'll just be slower. Additionally, and I'm not positive on this, they may be ever so slightly less accurate as they will not flex as they're intended under that lighter force, but I must stress that if I am right about this the loss in accuracy should be small... and I'm probably not right.

Yes. I've had good experience with them. I move them around a lot and they are easy to set up and take down, as long as you do it with care.

I have seen them broken at children's science centers but in our SC-750R set we have had no breaks so far! I do make my son put everything back in the case when he is finished and I am like a drill instructor when it comes to making my kids take care of their things.

They are not very strong, I am not that thrilled with them, probably won't buy them again. I have had 3 break already.

The small ones will break. I made some holes in a 2mm aluminum bar and used the small ones to drill a guide hole for the large one; I lost 2 on 3 small ones in the same day.

They feel durable to me, I've used a bunch of them for moving a couple months ago and had no problems with any breaking (even with more load in them then was strictly reasonable). The plastic is a little flexible, so I doubt they are going to crack unless they stiffen substantially over time. I've not owned them for years yet, so can't conclusively say though.

THEY WORK VERRY WELL. But you need to make sure that you put them on corectley and check them to make sure they are on secure.

I broke one when I knocked my bike over in the shop.I had another one crack where it tightens on the ball after a lot of rough miles.I bought another set and keep the parts that are usable for future use.At the price, I love them. Of course, if you buy the famous name brands for $50 and up...Let us know if they are any better, because I doubt it.

They will not break down. I am a teacher, and I have them in my classroom holding my book collection and student library. Many of these books are hard cover, and large. I have used them all year, and they still look awesome and work great!

Yes, they can break, I've broken the 'fit together clips' on two so far. The first one broke freeing a snow plough pick up truck and the second one broke on my car in snow deeper than its underbelly. Originally I was going to throw out the broken ones but instead I'm going to try wiring them together with heavy gauge wire. I can't see why the won't work, its just a different way of connecting them. The clips are like interlocking plastic hooks.

if you get a really good pencil sharpener they will be good- I found that with my old sharpener, they did break- but now I have a very good heavy sharpener that sharpens these pencils to a sharp point and they do not break.

They do not have an indentation for breaking them. I don't think they would break cleanly.

they don't look sturdy enough to assemble/disassemble continuously. if you have the room to leave them assembled all the time they are pretty good for the money.

Just push them in hard. They won't break. Yea it's a bit difficult at first

These head phones do break easily. My kids broke them within two day of receiving them. I had to take them apart and super glue the hinge back together. Ever since, they have been fine. I don't know if that is because my kids have been careful with them since breaking them.

Very easy. Just squeeze and slide the pieces apart. They work great, by the way.
