There is a video on YouTube somewhere discussing them and comparing them side by side to a comp set. The body and plunger seemed to be okay, but the big issue was the tolerance in the link bar. There was enough slack to allow the body to rotate significantly in the bore.

I don’t think I need to explain what would happen in that case.

Gonna go see if I can find a link to that vid.

Sometimes you pay in full and get less than what you paid for... Sad deal
