Is this poor manufacturing

Thanks Joe for the many wise words.

I will avoid mentioning the brand involved, but they are made in NZ.

We did some research and came to the decision to use these as they had a much higher load rating than the Ronstan TB's. These were over a ton stronger than the wire we are using where as the ronstan fittings were 200kg under the rating of the wire (we have the test certificate for the wire). Thought we did get them a little cheaper than ronstan we went more with the load rating, though the toggles in their current state would detract from the 6934kg rating.
