Do the tips of these wear down quickly?

If you press too hard perhaps but moderate regular use doesn't wear down tips. They are much sturdier than the Papermate Flair Ultrafine pens.

I've been using mine a few months, they don't seem to be wearing down. I bought a second set!

Not entirely sure what you're getting at. I've used my pens almost every day for the past four months. The ink is failing sooner than the tips.

I would look for a higher quality rubber tip. As I said in my review, SOME of these stylus have a "firm" tip and do not respond well. Probably 3-5 of this pkg will have no problems for about 6 weeks. You get so many cuz you need to pick through them & find the good ones. Good luck!

I use them at work where I write notes and my signature 4-5 days a week. They last me about 3 months before the tip stops working on all sides. Then I have a few more weeks of writing if I find the "right side" but usually I get sick of it and just grab a new one. I love them though! I used to buy Sharpie pens until a friend slowly convinced me these were better.

Tips are easy to find in drug stores, target, and similar stores. Of course, they can also be purchased at Amazon (that's easy!). We've not had it long enought for the tips to wear out.

Not that I could tell. They were a soft foam like material that just ripped. I mean, I guess if you're crafty you could figure out a way to replace the tips.

I dunno, I'm 38 years old and I've had these for about two years. I had to buy new tips because I lost one somewhere but, other than that, they still deliver great sound and aren't falling apart in any way. I use them practically every day, wrap em up and stuff in my pocket after use, and haven't had any problems. My wife, on the other hand, can't seem to make hers last past six months. I dunno, I guess it has to do with each person.

They last a very long time. Sharpening your knife before every use takes only a moment. I have never seen a sharpening steel wear out.

They just wear out. But last long time. Bought them again to take to cabin camping trip. Will see how they do again!!

No - the tips are basically foam balls w/reflective tape. They're great for simulating set practice in a small space and trying new combinations, but no precision and no actual contact

Yes. They also come with a number of types of SuperTips. My favorite are the gel ones.

No, they well start falling apart from moisture . They last longer if you take out & let dry between use.

We have not had any problems with the tips. They have lasted for years with no problems.

Mine are fairly new (a few months old), and they're still perfect. With decent care, I figure they'd probably last a year or more with daily use. But I don't really know--this is my first set.

I had the same issue. You need to basically force them on there. I think the reason they're like this is so they don't easily slide off. I bought these tips nearly six months ago and they're still holding up pretty well..hope this helps.

My son uses those crutch tips daily. We have only bought one set and that was at the beginning of this school year. That was seven months ago and they are still going strong.

i have had mine for about 6 months and they are holding up just fine. i have no complaints what so ever.

Absolutely! I don't know how long they WILL last, but i know i've had mine almost a year - worn periodically, not daily - but they show no signs of wear. After seven days straight, you might want to rinse them off in soapy water, but they won't need to be replaced because of normal wear and tear for good awhile.
