If you say so.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this because I've used them for a number of years now and have not had a single failure. They do tend to harden a little bit after a while (years) so they need to be checked about once a year. Maybe this is why yours split, was too old to do the job, or it could have been the wrong material or a number of other small things?
