Trouble with Stylus?

[keithbyrd]

Have any of you had any troubles with the Wall Street II/Sierra style of stylus? I have one customer who has torn the stylus tip on two pens. He swears he isn't doing anything unusual to them! He is a good customer - he has bought 10-12 stylus and gives them away as gifts. But his keeps tearing. Any ideas?

Hi Keith

I have also had 2 pens returned to me with torn stylus tips. They were also Sierras and the customer had it for a little over a month. Wondering also if I should take these out of my inventory?

Thanks,
Tim

It is easy to tear the old styles where you have to install the tip and ring together but the new styles where the tip is assembled and you screw them into a fitting work great and no tearing.

Where does one obtain this "new style"?

From what I have experienced... YMMV...

If the stylus tip get wet very often, the tip starts to feel "rubbery" instead of the "satin" smooth feel. This is what has caused a few of mine to tear. I have had one come back recently. I informed the customer of the getting wet issue, and he informed me that it was dropped in a puddle of water a few days before it ripped off the top.

Craft Supply has the new kits and they are the Artisian Stylus kits.

I just had another conversation with the customer and found out that he has an APP on his tablet that takes notes in so the stylus is used to write with - not just slide and tap sections of a screen. Something a little slimmer, firmer and slicker than we get on the typical stylus that we get from CSUSA, Woodcraft etc. Anyone have any ideas?

I also have had stylus' tear, mostly from customers or younger sisters dragging them across the screen. I have been looking for one that is more solid rubber, and so far null. But i agree, the new ones are better
