Okay am I crazy or does the black tip come off VERY easily? I'm talking nudge it with my pinky and it falls off, the beveled tip piece I mean

No, it has groves and screws off the end, giving it ease in cleaning. Hope this helps.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

Kennith, you aren't crazy, it just took you a bit to realize, like it did me, we broke the tip off. If im correct, you would have the tip of the tip falling off, while the threaded part of remainder of tip, is still in place, inside the basting tube.

Mine doesn't. Sounds like there may be a defect or a crack in the plastic. I had trouble with a bulb splitting and found the company to be very responsive.

Insert a butter knife and it will loosen and pop out, it will become easier! Mine was stiff at first, but now works perfectly with my fingernail .

Youll find that tip wears till its end. Another possibility is excesive dry of the element but It shouldnt happen since you keep it close and away from direct light. Use as much as you want in order to feel confortable while playing. This is a good one in my gear.

It comes apart quite easily, so you're probably trying to unscrew it at the wrong place. Move your handsaround til you find the correct location!

It did not happen to me. I have been able to use it again. I suggest that you punch the tip with a nail or similar and take out the small amount of dry loctite

You just give the black cap a light twist and a tug and it should come off, sometimes it can get a little stuck on there, so you just gotta tug a little harder, it is pretty hard to hurt the tube so you don't have to worry bout that.

I put a cloth over the tip then went back and forth on the tip. It came off after a few minutes of work.

I haven't had a problem, but in using other brands I've learned not to drag the tip across the screen and to treat tips with some care as they are pretty delicate and if they're not, they are too hard. These have been working well for me so far.

It was hard to get it off, but it should come out. I obviously can't see your item, but make sure you are pressing the tab on the side in while pulling it out. Using a dime or a very small flathead screwdriver would probably do the trick if you can't get it with/have no fingernails.

I gave it as a gift, so not 100% sure, but I believed it clicked on. There was no issue of it coming off. Look, this is a great product with ONLY ONE major issue: if dropped, it will shatter. It will not stay intact if dropped, even if you lacquer it. Otherwise, it's beautiful & very impressive!

Hi ... in response you your question, I tried to twist off the clip. Seems it's either glued or affixed so well that it's not going anywhere. I felt like it'd break (not easily) from all my twisting before it'd come off. I seriously doubt it'll come off with normal use. I use the pencil all the time and think it's a great instrument.

I grip the stylus with the clip in-between my finger and thumb and I don't notice it. It wasn't an issue for me. I actually hadn't noticed until your question and then I had to take it out and hold it to see where it fell.

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 have one stylus that has a removable tip. The silver ring will screw off, then the old black rubber tip can be pulled off and the new tip put on over the exposed silver post. Then replace the silver ring. I have another stylus where the tip does not screw off. I have not mastered this tip or even determined whether or not it can be removed. In a different packet of new tips were long flat silver strips that look as if they would replace a silver tip, but I can't get the old tip off.

Wiping it down when you get it will help significantly, yes. But, for me, it didn't completely fix it. It still rubbed off on my hands a little bit the next 4 or 5 times I used it, but after that, it was fine. And it's still all-black, so it's not a cosmetic issue with the tool.

If you are asking if the tip can be removed, I checked today, and I don't think so. I didn't want to try to force it and break it, but the whole thing appears to be one piece not meant to come apart.

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!
