I was so glad to find these! I needed a narrow tip stylus to use on my phone, and the smaller tip (0.18" diameter) is perfect for that. I have not seen any other stylus on Amazon or in any store with such a narrow tip!
The other end has a 0.24" diameter tip which is still smaller than most styluses have and is perfect for my 8" tablet. The cap stays on well so far and protects the tip not being used, while providing a clip to hold it onto a pocket. The 5.5" length is very comfortable to hold onto. Plus it comes with lots of extra rubber tip replacements. Great price, too!
Only one minor issue: sometimes the metal part on each tip wants to come unscrewed. I occasionally check the tightness just to make sure.
Love having two tips of different sizes. Love the colors. Using on to write this review. Shipped promptly and is very comfortable in using for for everything.
I had given some to friends and realized that the cap falls off easily if I try to tighten it starts to tightened just keeps twisting. Also there is a silver cap type that goes over the rubber on both end. I'm not sure on res, to me it cm be annoying.
NOW WITH ALL SAID, IT'S STILL A VERY GOOD STYLUS. I would recommend but give warnings about my issues with them
Update: the company contacted me and and offered to send out another one to replace the damaged one. They were very polite even sent a video to watch to make sure I understood how they worked. Very hard to find such great customer service. I will definitely order from the again if they carry what I'm looking for and would encourage others to try them as well.
I was looking for a regular (non bluetooth) stylus with a smaller point to draw on my tablet. This one really fit the bill, though I do wish it was even smaller. I have two complaints, but nothing that takes away from the functionality of the stylus so I won't take off stars for this. First is that there is only one cap per pen so one end of the stylus is always exposed unless you borrow a cap from another pen. It would be nice to have two caps for each pen so one end doesn't get dirty when it's in a drawer or a bag. The second thing is that I ordered this color set because I wanted the pinky color, but instead I got a really dark purple color (pictured). It's nice, but just not what I wanted. The other colors were accurate though.
Now here is a seller that really cares about their customers. I mentioned in an earlier review that this product didn't work so well for my and daughter and myself. The seller emailed me and wanted to make things right by telling me something that I was not aware of. Some of our many technical gadgets have certain kinds of screen protectors that are not user friendly with some stylus. I appreciate that information. I am really beginning to understand what reviews mean to the seller and the purchaser -- it is a very important element in our technical world today -- to see what other people say about a specific product. So thank you, Bargains Depot for your stylus. I would take you up on the offer you sent by email if I only knew how, lol. And I WILL buy your product again.
I really have enjoyed using these styli. They make navigating smaller touch screens SO MUCH EASIER !!! The best example I have? My printer keypad! I'm lucky if I can punch in the correct number with a "regular" "olden style" fat head stylus (4get about using fingers!!!). Gosh HP! Get a CLUE!!! These have proven to be INVALUABLE with my all-in-1.
Plus, though I'm an adult and can't draw my way out of a paper bag, sometimes I just enjoy kicking back and coloring or pretending I can draw using a drawing app and these are SO much more fun to use than the "old" fat ones. Gosh, sounds like I'm describing an ex boyfriend...yikes!
I do wish these styli were a tad bit more conductive than they are. Sometimes I do feel like I have to hold one with a slightly awkward grip to get more "skin" on 'em so they'll respond better. Perhaps if they were a bit taller? Either that or I have to press down a bit harder than I like (worrying about the metal scratching my tablet touch screen. Not so much worry with the printer/fax screen...hey, maybe it will get scratched up enough and we can get the printer that I suggested!!! (So sorry!...just can't seem to help myself today!)
Anyway, regardless of any issues I've noticed, these are truly a VAST improvement from what we've probably all seen and used previously. Oh, I should add that I also enjoy using these more than the extremely fine point styli that have the plastic discs around the point or even these new fiber optic "paint brushes" that don't actually paint since you have to press down to the metal anyway to get them to work.
I am definitely buying more!

GENERAL ADVICE:
due to the non-durable nature of the capacitive touchscreen (iPad, smartphones, etc.) the tip has to be soft. Treat the stylus like a small, soft-tipped paint brush and stroke the screen. If the tip is collapsing or if you tore the tip off quickly, they you trying to write with the stylus versus stroking the screen.." "..Soft tip styli do not last. 2-5 months of daily use and they are done....product is disposable.. "

Size of rubber tip do NOT vary!
I ordered another set of these from a different supplier and they came scratched. I loved them though, so I decided to get these. This set has 1 more in it than the original set, for maybe a dollar more. Great deal and the finish was flawless. (To be fair the other company is sending me a free replacement set and have been very helpful.) These are great for kids. They have some give in them even if your child is essentially stabbing your screen. I have another set that has a disk and that is made to slide so it's not ideal for little ones. I don't have to worry about these. They easily slide on the screen but won't scratch even the weakest of screen protectors. (The one on my Omen scratches easily and these don't scratch it!) The tips are easy to replace and the cap pops on and off the end like a pen. The should have no problems working on your devices. The disk set I have wouldn't work on my phone at all. It typically only responds to the stylus it came with or your finger, yet, these work! I have several devices with different types of screens and these works on all of them. I will point out that some devices have pens that come with them. My note 4 has one. I also have an app called an "S note." This app is only for the "Note" series. It only responds to the stylus that came with the phone. I can't even use my finger to draw. However, if I open up a different app it will easily recognize the new pen. If you have an app in mind for this pen and you can use your finger to draw then you should be just fine as it recognizes other objects. I don't think there are too many pen-specific apps that you need to worry about though.
this is the second pack i've ordered, which i did because every time someone sees me with one, they try to steal it from me. so i've lost one each to mom, aunt and bestie already.
they work really well, make it very easy to play precision games and they've really improved my snapchats. the length is much more comfortable than the shorter stylus i was working with before -- more like a regular pen, less like a mini golf pencil -- and its tip is much more delicate. i keep one in my purse, one in my nightstand, one at my desk and one in bestie's car which i fully expect to disappear because people can't resist them. when that happens, i'm sure i'll be back to order more. i might throw one into a kitchen drawer when i have extras again.
the other pack i got had pink, purple, black and blue in it. i wouldn't mind some more colors, like red or white or silver. also the pink and purple are really similar. they came with a bunch of replacement tips which are easy to install and, for the cost, don't seem to wear out too quickly. they sport a clip which i don't use often but it does work and seems fairly sturdy. they also have a little hole in the top of the clip where you could conceivably attach some sort of lanyard or charm or something if you wanted to get all special with them.
overall, great value for the money.
I will start out by saying this is my 3rd set ordered and received over the last 6 - 8 months.. These stylus' seem to be a bit different than the last 2 orders I received. The colors seem to be a bit brighter and they now include a plastic cap to cover & protect the stylus' nib. Instead of having “Bargain Depot®” written on the side - it now just has “B&D” ..
As far as the quality? In each of my first two orders there were 2 stylus (total 4) that the tips (that held the nibs on) were not glued properly and unless you taped them (a huge pain because you have to take the tape off to be able to unscrew tip to replace the nib) the entire tip would just fall out. However with this last order, each one is in working order.. My only complaint would be that one of them actually has the tip glued in just a little to deep, leaving the nib shorter, worrying me that I may scratch my screen if I press to hard.. (There is no way to fix this)
All in all you just can't beat the price for 4 stylus' and 12 replacement nibs.. Even with the few I had issues with, I am still happy with my purchase and will continue to order as needed!
** the first picture includes one of the stylus from my recent order and one from a previous order - showing the small changes and color difference. (You can also see the tape I had to place on the tip of the older one)
We are pretty hard on our stylus', with most getting torn after only a few weeks of hard use, as we push hard and do a lot of dragging. That's why we got this pack with the 20 extra tips, figuring we would need every one.
BUT... We have used these now for almost 3 months and not a single tear, amazing! We are all still on the original tips, though honestly we rarely use the finer point one, which does appear more fragile, (but again - no tears so far!)
The main, broader tip is fine for almost everything we do, with sensitivity, control and ease of use. And the barrel also feels good in the hand, well balanced with a good weight. Really have no complaints at all. Would definitely recommend.
