I cannot unscrew the tip to put on a replacement. What am I doing wrong?

It's 2015 now, so I hope that you solved your problem. Yes, these are screw in tips, yes they can be used by all colors of the amPen hybrid styluses and you just unscrew the old one and screw in the new one. In my experience the tips should be changed every three to four months.

The tip just threads in. Consider gripping the metal rim of the tip (the part that gets replaced) with a pair of pliers and twisting in a counter clockwise direction, as you would to loosen a nut. Be careful not to damage the barrell of the stylus with the pliers. When you replace the tip, tighten it as tight as you can by hand. Do not use pliers on the new tip.

It doesn't unscrew, it is a press fit. I took a pair of pliers and squeezed hard and twisted the tip out then just pushed the new tip on using the pliers on metal edges of the tip. Hope that helps.

If there are no screw threads on the replacement it does NOT screw in. Remove pin cartridge & spring. Use a long narrow rod or screw driver, try pushing it out of the barrel. It's just a friction fit. Hope this helps.

I think you may have purchased the amPen that is not replaceable. If you purchased it on Amazon, only the pink hybrid stylus has the removable tip.

Good luck. It is a tiny screw. It took me over an hour of trying to get the tip inserted and held in place by the screw before I discovered there was no possible way. A set screw would have worked well, but this engraver needs a redesign. Consider how much force is going to be applied to the tip, between the pressure needed to engrave your item, as well as the vibration produced by the machine and it makes no sense why such a tiny screw was used. Please read all the reviews before buying.

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

I do not think that the tips are replaceable. Don't take my word for it though. If they are replaceable then they would be a pain to replace. They are very hard to get back in once they are out.

Just unscrew the very tip. Remove the old one with the spring. Put the spring on the refill. Place refill and screw back on. Nice and easy. Good luck.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

Hi Lulu!As you can see in the main/first image on the listing, the metal barrel screws off the pen and the tip is then able to be removed, which would also be where you place a new one on and then screw the barrel back in place. If there's anything else, just let me know.

I had this happen recently. I carefully used the corkscrew on a Swiss Army Knife and rotated it gently until it gripped the broken tip. Then I pushed the release button down hard and the broken tip slid right out. Go slowly.

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.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

Have you tried pushing down the cap and turning once or twice, then just normally? It's got a catch or something that you have to push it down under to then unscrew it from how I get it openHope this helpsSofia

A small phillips head screwdriver. If that doesnt work you may have a stripped screw.

Take hold of the black edge around the bottom and pull down. It releases easily. To replace it, just press it back into place.

The one that I received does not screw in or unscrew, it is held in by pressure. Try pulling it out by the slight lip around the edge of the glass.

Just push the cap onto the tip. That's it. Are you sure you didn't break the tip?
