If your strings are breaking, you should have your bridge saddles checked for sharp edges. Tuners are less likely to cause trouble, but it does happen sometimes. Strings usually break at the bridge. I'm assuming you change your strings before they get all rusty.

Actually, i said more than a full step bend, a 1.5 or 2 step bend would sometimes break the (.009 gauge) e-string, but none of the other strings. The bridge is an edge pro III floating tremolo bridge. Anyway, like i said in my first post, i haven't broken a single string since i changed to a heavier gauge.
