One of the reviews said these did not have pointed ends. From the photo they look to be pointed - are they not?? How hard could it be to make 10" long rounded colored toothpicks, which is basically what the old fashioned pickup sticks were in the 50s?

Yes, they have pointed ends. At least the ones I have are pointed. The end of the point, however, is dull- not sharp so it wouldn't cut you, but one end is pointed. I hope this makes sense.

The sticks are a nominal 1-1/8" wide. Not 1-1/4" They are not a precision instrument -meaning there may be slight, barely discernible differences in dimension. Hence the use of 'nominal.'

They are not needle sharp but they are pointed. The very tip is somewhat blunt, maybe 1/8 inch across. But there are 4 sides tapered to that point. I have very hard, rock-filled soil and there was no problem driving them into the ground.

Are the studs pointed at the end, or flat? I want to go out and buy some gold ones to load into the gun rather than use the silver ones that come with it but I'm not sure if you can buy ones with sharp ends :)

I just looked at the pictures of this knife and it looks like the same shape as my knife. These toothpicks fit mine perfectly. The shape of the head and the length were perfect. I really thought as I was buying them that my knife could never use a "large". Hope this helps.

No concave tips they are all flat point. As far as being made in the USA I never really saw anything that said they were. If you are looking for a kit for assembling an AR 15 this kit will work.

The tips are not interchangeable, not without cutting the shaft and reducing the length. This are solid secured heads, great arrows for target or rough use, mine have been through heck and still have a lot more to give.

Unfortunately these are made in China, and they are crummy quality. I searched and searched trying the find the square center style toothpicks, but these are NOT anything like the Diamond toothpicks we used to get. I wouldn't recommend this product!

Those screw on tips are for toys.. I believe this is a professional Cue stick.. take it to a place and maybe around ten dollars you can get a new tip. Soft medium or hard depending on your liking.. You question: You would have to cut the old tip off with a knife or an exacto knife then super glue the new tip on...then trim the sides and file the tip to the shape of a nickel's roundness.

They come with I believe 3 extra tips which you can switch out. Mine were ALL dried out, including the tips. I will probably soak mine in nail polish remover and they should be fine. Hope this helps.

They have the standard round-ish 'practice' points. As opposed to sharp 'hunting' points. But these arrows are way too flimsy for hunting, anyway, unless you're hunting paper airplanes.

They are sharp - they are not rounded. But I should add - I got them for my daughter at 15/16 months. She's been playing with them without issue. They aren't needle point sharp. I don't see them 'stabbing' her or giving her splinters. They just aren't rounded.

Yes. They're not pointed like sewing scissors, but they're not flat-tipped either. Ezlypist's description matches my experience, with two pairs, BTW.

I have never been able to find any. I suspect it may be a racket to get you to buy a whole new one when the tips wear out. I fell for it twice. No more.

They don't come with tips. If you are just shooting for fun (which is why I do it) get the cheapest ones you can find.

You can not stick a toothpick through them. They are not spongy, more like hard rubber.

I just grabbed the box to inspect (but don't have the ones from seven years ago to compare) and they look great. Nice, straight edges along the body and rounded, pointy ends. Using one, it feels solid, and doesn't sponge-up on you while you're still using it!
