I do not know much about these. I know that I took good care of them because once the hooks (latching mechanism) broke I got my father to epoxy them together and it worked. He gave a lecture about if I brake them again they will not be strong enough to fix so I have to take car of them so after that I was much more careful. Does any one know more about these guys?
