Is this ball puncture-resistant?

No, but is really hard to puncture it. If you were to throw it on a nail it will puncture. I know as a friends kids did it to one of mine. Normal use there is no problem. Ron.

Only had for a couple months and it developed a leak. I used it as an office chair meaning I sit on it for 8 hours a day so it got a lot more use than a ball would if used only for exercise. Since then I replaced with j/fit 65cm Anti-Roll Exercise Gym Ball and that has held up so far. The description says: Anti-Burst - Burst rate tested up to 2000 lbs and Slowly deflates if accidentally punctured. Seems to made of thicker material. Also has sand in it to prevent from rolling away when not sitting on it.

I would think so. I've always used uni-ball Onyx black and red and I never see the other side bleeding through.

The ball is hollow and rigid. I don't know about retaining shape if it had a hole since mine doesn't have one.

Absolutely not. Ball joints are pressed in with specialty tools or with a hydraulic press.

I've had this case since Octoberish and I haven't had any problem with the ball. I use the case off and on but used it for a solid 2 months without a problem.

I would say so, although quite heavier. It is an amazing ball, absolutely indestructible!! It's great in the winter for the dogs to find in the snow. Our largest (110 pound) retriever destroys anything but this ball, amazing!

Well, I would have to say no. It is some type of rubber throughout. (I'm assuming that it is "latex.") On the positive side, I would say that the ball has held up extremely well. I have used it in an elementary school classroom. They (I have 4 of them) have been sat on by some 300 kids and there have been no reported problems with allergies to latex/rubber.

The ball is not a valve. There is no mechanism on either side of it that actually closes to prevent the flow of air either into or out of the canister. I know the description makes it sound like it may be more than that, but at least the one I have simply has a hole cut in both sides.

Yes, you puncture it. Be careful if it is warm, though, and use a screwdriver and hammer or something akin to that. Hold it away as it may be under pressure.

No, haven't had that issue at all. The ball does need re-inflating from time to time, but other than that holds up pretty well.

Yep, just make sure you get the U-Series ball because it doesn't have the shiny finish on it. These balls are easier to break in (still 6 to 9 months of heavy use).

I think so. I haven't tried it. But it's a simple ball and socket with nothing much to wear out. You could probably do it daily for a couple of years. If it breaks, buy another. They're just $15.00.

Yep! The key is to make sure you use the glycerine lubricant and the short needle. Longer bike needles can puncture the lining.

Yes, of course. The ball point will not scratch, it retracts completely. Gave some to my co-workers and they LOVE them - we work on iPads all day. Tip is maybe 4 mm.

Yes but you need make sure that the shank(shaft size of the ball) is the correct diameter

Yes, and look after it as it will mark like leather too. I my experience the ball won't be at it's best for a couple of months and it's not grippy when compared to composite balls.
