I have not yet broken them... But the best point is they don't slip, as slipping
cause excessive wear of gears. For example the first version of my killer dozers
(http://philohome.com/kdozer/kd.htm) used the 12 double bevel gear but after
playing some time gears kept on slipping because their teeth were worn out.
After replacing them with knob wheels (http://philohome.com/kdozer/kdi1.jpg), no
more problems!
