what is breaking point of this material?

I didn't try to break it so I don't know for sure. It's made of polyurethane, same as they use for tool handles, so it's pretty sturdy. However, I could see where a larger person might feel queasy about leaning heavily on it while using it as a cane. Too thin for that! It's perfect for a person my size, but a big guy might have problems---too short for him anyhow.

My belief is that it would be nearly impossible to break because it is too flexible ( even bent back upon itself). That said, it could be considered too flexible by many. I am ok with it as is, though it definitely flexes when loaded. I actually prefer the flex for defense purposes because I think there is less likelihood of killing someone. Much less lethal than my Kabar metal cane.

It seems to be very strong, haven't broken mine yet and don't plan on it either. I use mine as a cane.

It's aluminum. Between the separations it has a sand which of materials but the top is aluminum. My aluminum with this top separated at a seam. The company did not honor it's warranty. I had it repaired at an authorized dealer for 300+ dollars. Sold it for 400 at a loss of 700 to buy a retrax that was 1200. Just FYI, buy once, buy right,

if it is of the same manufacturer as the one I had, you should see a small metallic disc on the inside. Grab the disc firmly between thumb and forefinger of both hands and attempt to basically break it in half. That should do it, and don't worry about damaging it. It just goes back to normal.

It is made of plastic, so it's light and a little bendable. I'm sure if you bend this hard enough, it will break (but not shatter).

no breakage the box said it was ready to run but it needed a few things to get it going. some type of starter and something else. it has been a while and my husband got it going. sorry im not very spesific.

The plastic material is not flexible and it is as durable as plastic can be. As long as you don't drop it or bang it on anything sharp or hard surface, it should not break. Just handle it with care and all should be well. Store it at room temperature.

You won't break it, just pull apart front and back pieces - were the opening for connector is. It does feel like it gonna break , but it won't.

I'm not sure so far nothing is broke on ours, I might consider selling ours if you want.

I haven't a clue as to what the breaking tip is. BUT it is a real point and hits hard.. I feel a window hit hard with the tip would crack open the window. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer?

It seems like a strong aluminum and I made a slit in and it is still strong. I push it into very dense soil containing hard pan/clay. It does not push through hard pan layer without mixed. In other soil.

metal, not aware of any damage. would think it would depend on the technique

I am not completely sure but I would say aluminum. They can bend very easily.

I honestly don't know the answer. You could try a small test piece to see, and maybe use some sort of spray release just incase. That usually will help in most cases, unless the release reacts with one of the materials or the other.

I am sorry but I do not use this material for that purpose. I am not familiar with what you are asking. Sorry

I have no idea what all that is above in the question... cracking?-No exploding?-No

I have used these within the range of about 10 - 98% RH. No problem. I don't think it will break and it will definitely measure.

I'm not sure. It might be metal or a really sturdy aluminum since it's not that heavy.
