Is it possible for the clip to separate from the pencil if used regularly?

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.

Very tough pencil, unless you forcibly remove it there is no way it will come off by itself.

This hasn't happened to me, and I use it quite a bit. If you try hard you can get it to move, and if you do that enough you might get it to loosen up enough. But even then it would be so easy to make it fit nice and snug again.

I've sharpened hundreds of colored pencils with mine, with about one in 15 getting jammed. Unjamming it takes abot 10 seconds. What happens is the lead, because it is softer than graphite breaks off, preventing the next pecil from sharpening properly. Removal of the tip takes about 10 secods total.

The clips have broken on four different ones I've had. The last few, I never removed the iPad from the case. The others I only removed the iPad a few times. Just leaving the iPad in the case will break the holding mechanism.

If you need to use an eraser frequently, you're better off getting a separate eraser, like the Pentel retractable Clic http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Eraser-Retractable-Assorted-ZE21BP3-K6/dp/B001HA77OO. Advancing the lead without the silver cap wouldn't be that comfortable, and if you leave it off all the time you're liable to lose it. The built in eraser is more for just an occasional mistake, not if you need to erase whole sentences often.

I clip a stylus on the "open" side of the case. I made sure I bought a stylus with a clip specifically for that purpose.

We never had any problems with the clip coming off. My son is sry after two months use.

It does not retract. I've got three of these for each jacket I wear so I don't worry about forgetting to take a pencil. So far no problems with the tip...

Yes just remove the Allen bolt out of the pin with the supplied Allen wrench and the clip comes right off. Very easy to do. Hope that helps.

I am answering your question for the 2nd time because after reading the other two responses, I'm not sure if you are asking if the clip is removable or if it breaks easily. The answer to both: It is not a removable clip from either company I mentioned. The one from FishingForDeals is not of good quality and the clip breaks off - for me before I even had a chance to use it. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. Carefully pull the metal tip off the end of the pencil and replace the lead. Again carefully pull the pen out of the barrel of the pen and twist a replacement back into its place. Easy squeezy! Instructions are on back of the package.

You can put the clip on the other side of the knife, but you can't move it to the pivot end. It is tip up in either configuration.

It looks like you can, but the back gear of the clip is molded to the case. It definitely wasn't meant to come off easily :)

I had mine clipped to my shoe and I lost it. The clip does snap off easily.

I have never had a clip break off unless one of the grandkids was trying to get it loose from the elastic strap on myKindle cover. They have a habit of pulling outward instead of straight up. So if you don't have little kids messing with them you should be fine!

That has happened with some of the ones I've used. No big problem. Just hold it with your fingers around the piece that's moving and the eraser will stay put. It sounds awkward, but it's really not. When you flip the pencil to erase, just slide your fingers down to the rim and hold it as you erase. The eraser won't be able to move. It's one of the few flaws.

Yes, the tip is retractable. Hold the button down and push it in. The tip also moves inward as the lead is used which better supports the lead and minimizes breaking. It's a nice pencil and I rarely ever break the lead with this one.

Yes...the clip is very robust. The only problem may be...with the thickness of jeans and a "good" leather belt. ..it may be difficult to draw.
