Is the connector bit easily breakable? It seems a little flimsy.

No. It moves back and forth to make it easy to connect your phone, but it's not flimsy at all. We've had it over a year and it's held up great.

I use very tiny bits in it, don't even know the size, about the size of a straight pin of normal size. The bits I use are to clean out the orfices of oil burner jets and paint sprayer tips, etc., very delicate and easy to break. The chuck holds them fine.

it is sealed, so it should be fine for that. The leads that come off the back are short, so you would have to make sure that your connection is sealed

No idea mine broke the 2nd time I tried to use it which was like 6 months after the 1st time. The solder came loose so I no longer would recommend this

It broke very quickly from pushing the headphone plug too hard into the jack. I popped it open easily with a small screw diver and found out the jack was held onto the circuit board with minimal solder (to be expected for such an inexpensive device). I place the jack back onto the circuit board and glued it in to the case/board with a little epoxy and now it works fine.

I only used it once. It is very well made. I can't imagine it breaking. It chafed a dead iPod with life to spare.

It is safe...just have to be careful when using so you don't try to force rotation or you may break the connection like i did...put it back together easy enuf!!

Hello Frank, The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape. Nathaniel www.FortressSecurityStore.com

That's something I didn't check on. I figured since it was so cheap, it wasn't that big of a deal.We could just get a new one if it broke. We haven't had any issues so far - it's working as it should.

If you're good to your electronics then you shouldn't have an issue. The frame is a flexible plastic and could probably be broke intentionally fairly easy but if you're not just tossing them around or mistreating them they should last. I've had mine for quite a while with no problems.

Yes! I think because the connections are plastic none of them will last very long. Mine lasted 3 weeks.

Mine broke pretty quickly - it was the main reason I gave this set a bad review. The connector piece is very poorly made.

The only problem I had was to get the pins to "snap" into the housing properly. It requires quite a bit of force to snap them in. There are several videos on youtube and I recommend watching some of them. After assembly I have had no problem connecting and separating the housing (connectors).

I had no troubles with the connectors whatsoever.As long as you push in both ends well,it should definitely last!

Yes it is very flimsy. I purchased this model because I like to keep it on my key ring. The metal loop has already broken and I came very close to losing it. Now I have no way of attaching it to anything and have to carry it separate in my pocket.

...yes, the USB socket is "wobbly" on my unit as well, moving up/down by perhaps as much as 5 degrees. This has not appeared to affect the functionality at this point.

it shouldn't be too stiff. i've never had a problem pulling the bit out. Perhaps your release is stuck? When you press on the area with the 5 grooves, the area near the bit should lift off a little showing that it's unlocked/released.
