Had to look hard to find that to complain about, lol. That’s a 5 year old thread.
Guess I get lucky with stuff, hadn’t had an issue with mine and it ain’t babied at all. In fact it stays in the back of the truck (camper shell) and is used most of the year. I set it for me or my son (marked with a sharpie) and leave it like that. I can’t even imagine how you’d break one other than maybe using it as a club.
