Quoted from Meekins:We are very proud of our work and I was sick to read the review of a very good gear. I sold them on ebay and had about 100 positive feedbacks on this gear. When I read the review I was so hurt that we stopped making them.
that's to bad, never heard of this gear before. Never knew the plastic one was a big point of failure. something tells me that if he was replacing the plastic ones on even a bi-weekly basis, that something else was going on (even on location). If you even remake, these let me know. I'd get one cause, I'm in the process of partially restoring one for location play.
In any business your in, you will get negative reviews.
Even if you do everything in your power to do the right, there are still things out of your control. Like in this case, maybe the guy installed it wrong (not saying he did). maybe the other plastic gear it meshes with was messed up, (who knows). Can't take stuff to personally.
