read a review on that several months ago. several people said the handle was made out of plastic and cracked after just a few uses. another guy reported the bead on the end that holds the cable in the release bar came off. another person had the same issues and had called the company. he was told they were aware of the issues and were working to resolve the problem meanwhile the sent him a new one. that was at least 6 months ago so in may be fine now.
