When I get home I'll take a good close look at them under good light to see if there is any fatigueing. Perhaps you got a dud
Not exactly sure what brand he said they were, but I definitely remember the story due to what "almost happened." Might of been Handy Stands, but I can't say for sure. I know he said they were $100 for the set. I'm sure there are other brands that will hold up and do a good job, I just don't have any experience with anything other than PitBull.
