Does lead tend to break as length of lead is used up? Grip stay in good shape?? Thanks

You asked two questions, so let me take them in order:I have never noticed the lead breaking differently as it is used up. By way of disclosure, I replace the HB #2 leads with softer darker leads just because I like soft leads better and not because there is anything wrong with the leads these pencils come with.The grip holds up well and is very comfortable to write with. These are the best pencils I have used at any price and is my note taking writing instrument of choice.

I have no durability complaints after minimal use. I have older Stanley screw drivers in my toolbox and they are holding up well too.

No, I have used it and it just glass. No lead. I would not buy if it did. A friend of mine bought in a store years ago.....he had no issues with lead. I just happen to find it on Amazon.

This is a pretty good soldering gun; I bought it to solder heavy duty starter brush leads and residential wiring. It will normally cause the solder to flow in a minute or less, depending on how much copper you have bundled together. I have had mine for a couple of years now and it's great...gave the smaller one away...you won't be disappointed.

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

Yes, if functioning correctly the correct sized lead can be fed into the tube once the eraser is removed. It is un-advisable to feed the 5mm and 7mm respectively into the tip, they would tend to break given their thinness.

I can load mine up with approximately 40-45 lbs of lead and the recoil is hardly noticeable. I don't use the Caldwell lead bag (sold separately) because it doesn't hold enough lead. Instead I am using two 25 lb shot bags that I've filled with scrap lead. I've tied off the ends of the bags with plastic tie wraps. I find the primary restriction to holding more lead is the relatively short distance from the bottom of the pans up to the rails.

I bought this and every piece broke within days. Sorry don't know about the lead but wouldn't recommend.

It can hold enough lead for about 2 to 3 mini balls. It can hold enough lead for about 4 to 5 45 caliber lead balls.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

I have had some of these knives for 7 years and have never had a problem with the handle breaking. My handles are all metal, that is why I purchased these for my nephew as a household gift, so he would stop using his pocketknife.

It's not so much a must but it does give you more useable lead for a longer period of time. The lead is strong enough to take a long point without breaking while still being quite smooth.if you like writing, try the Blackwing Pearl or 602. They both have slightly harder lead thats still very smooth but keeps a point much longer.

I bought the one with a clasp. I have not had it tested for lead. Never thought of it, but good question.

O.3 lead won't really work it will slip out of the barrel a lot it would be best to use the leads that it says

I still have mine and its not broken or ripped...seems to have helped with hand placement.

I use the lead with a german shepherd. I use the lead for activities that do not involve agitation or the dog pulling strongly on the lead. It is biothane, so I think it would hold fine....but I haven't tested it.

This has a metal sleeve but it is fixed in place. It does not slide. The extended lead can be relatively short and still easily visualized while writing because of the small diameter of the sleeve. When not in use the entire lead and sleeve assembly are protected by the cap. This is such a well designed and executed arrangement that having to uncap and cap the end doesn't seem a nuisance.
