[QUOTE="AngerManagement, post: 434160, member: 3760"] Some may have a fracture at time of manufacture, but many get broken via misuse and or people not putting in the washers or using incorrect end pieces in their shafts. Had a new user the other day with a NOX800, no rubber washers and the ears were bent and crushed inwards, and they were complaining that they could not tighten the coil and it would just flop about. A couple of days use and they would have snapped off for sure... I think just about every manufacturer has had the coil ears break at some stage, but other than misuse I have not experienced / observed any that just fail. That being said, I have had to epoxy rebuild a few that have been damaged and the users have given the coils a hard time. Especially those used in the water as a lot more side force is applied to the ears. [/QUOTE]
