Are they needle puncture proof?

This is a question for the manufacturer. I called with a question of my own and found them quite helpful.

Nothing is puncture proof right? But they hold up okay. The aren't leather after all
1402887
No they hold up well but for the price they are meant for above average task

I have not had to deal with that problem yet but they have stood up to every challenge i have brought them to.

i would say everyones different - im on blood thinners andmy blood is very hard to draw - even when professionals do it but i have gotten sufficent blood each time with these but these are the needles not a drawing strip -these poke the hole for you to produce blood for a sample

Yes, they are sterile for iv use. I am not sure they would come any other way.

The needle WILL be DAMAGED and UNFIXABLE if you leave the cartridge in long enough. The best way to take care of it is to just switch out each cartridge after each use, regardless of how long you used it. Trust me on this. It happened to me.

I think so. The needle is a blunt tip (not sharp) x 1/16 dia. It will easily suck out or refill an eggshell but might not poke the hole very easily.

They don't have a fine point tip like a sewing needle, but if you push down too hard enough, you could do some damage. You are only supposed to put enough pressure to a level of comfort without causing pain or damage.

Yes it is - but the needle a pretty long, so you need to buy some less long I think. Otherwise the needle tool works great, been using it for years, no claims.

I am sure they would be better than nothing, but they are intended to be cut resistant, not puncture resistant.

Hi, I bought them to try. Since I use Singer and Schmetz needles as well in my Janome, I would think they are standard

I used them straight from the package and had no problems. The amazon.com product information Q & A states that they are sterile and ready to use.

Yes, they are. They are similar to the grill probe that comes with the ET-732 only they have a point on them for piercing the meat. Can be used for grill or meat. I always apply some heat-proof sealant where the wire goes into the probe. Extends the life immensly to keep the moisture out.

Good Question! These are one of the best universal needles on the market. I have a small sewing machine shop and you would be surprised how many people use the wrong needle. This one should do a good job for us. We use them for our Brothers, Necchi, and Toyota Machines on the floor.

They will not stop a puncture from a fish spine. They are meant to protect from slicing not puncturing. The weave is tight but not tight enough to stop something narrow and pointy.

Yep! The key is to make sure you use the glycerine lubricant and the short needle. Longer bike needles can puncture the lining.

I am pretty sure it can be. I bought two replacement needles that are to be used with this unit. I haven't tried it yet. There are instructions included as to how to replace a needle.

these are just the needles. You need to have the kit for doing the puncture.

These are ANSI Level 4 cut proof, zero puncture-proof. Best to practice with chain removed. Cheers!
