Is the tip strong because I have a different one but the tip broke

The tip is sturdy, however be mindful you shouldn't press it against the paper as a normal pen. Sakura recommends to use it at a 90 degree angle and not to add a lot of pressure when using it. I've owned several and no broken tips.

I would compare the plastic tips to the ones down in the picture. If they are the same then you should be okay

I use the disposable tips with this without any problem. I use the one the seller recommended. I love the set and it has proven worth the cost.

I've used a different stylus without a retractable tip, and the tip frayed after 1.5 years of daily transport and note taking. Not bad in my opinion AND the tip may not have frayed if it had been retractable.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

The one I have does not have a pen in it. I was very disappointed . The tip falls off quite often I then have to stop and take it apart to fix the trip. I would not recommend it.

Yes, it works great - again with the exception of the small tip tool. The shaft on that one is the wrong size and just falls out of the base. All the other tips work great.

The tip is like the picture here: http://www.tequipment.net/Weller7135N.html?Source=Google&gclid;=CJXioc2m1boCFcw7MgodkVoAgQ

You'll need an extremely small screwdriver. It is a very small screw that holds the tip on. I hope it helps.

It has a sturdy tip/loop. It works as well or better than most. As long as not at full extension. KJ

I use my pen daily and the tips have lasted 6-7 months. I purchased the replacement caps without reading that the cap end was not replaceable. If you use both ends they both wear out, duh. Why would you only want to replacement ONE end. I like the pen but wouldn't buy another until they make BOTH caps replaceable.

I think you may have purchased the amPen that is not replaceable. If you purchased it on Amazon, only the pink hybrid stylus has the removable tip.

I actually just used the last one I ordered yesterday and I discovered the same issue. The previous one I had from a few years ago did screw on (the tip), but this newer one does not. Looks identical. So far for me I cannot see it being a big deal, but I do hope they change it back so the tip will screw on for a more secure fit.

This version does not have replaceable tips. They are pretty sturdy though, so they should last a while. They sell a more expensive version with replaceable tips.

Yes you will need to take the old tip off. You just need to pull it kinda of hard and it should pop right off.

I've had the same tip on mine since I bought it about a year ago, and it still works the same as the first day. They probably do get damaged, but it hasn't happened to me yet. The black tips have a rubber coating on the tip to provide more friction ( like writing with a pencil) while the white tips are smooth plastic ( like writing with a pen)

I've been using mine for 2 years now without any real issues. That being said it is a thinner tip for precise cutting tasks. I wouldn't do heavy prying with this knife because there are far better tools for that. Quality is top notch and its been one of my favorite knives to date.
