XOP stick failure

I suspect this is related to the problems they had with their sticks:

Interesting!! If in fact it is related you’d figure they would do something better than charge for it and make it right via a recall!!

thank you for sharing that. I just got me a set.. free shipping and all. That has to be what they're doing there.

And for what it's worth, when I saw this from Shannon earlier this year, it got me thinking - believe it or not, many of the products available out there are not TMA Certified. While any equipment can fail, it takes a good bit of time and effort to get a product TMA Certified. Food for thought - you might want to check their list before making your next purchase folks. And this is not a slam on anyone; I just never really thought about it until I saw this. Those sticks are NOT certified. Before looking into this, I'd have thought most everything commercially available was certified. Go figure.

I would have thought the same! Thanks for sharing that!

No charge for it.

Glad I could help!

This to say that when you modify a stick it is not without risk. Here is a company that probably over builds sticks and has a failure.

I have been modifying my sticks to reduce weight.

I have never been a fan of single steps there is a lot of force being applied to the stick and step components
