Yep, bottom line, you're right, I should have checked.
However, if I were to manufacture a product that were to be installed on a vibrating machine I believe I would do what I could to minimize loosening. Imagine if we took that attitude if attention weren't paid to our fork clamps or main bearing caps or numerous other safety and reliability items. It is a simple matter of finer threads or loctite or both or safety wire or cotter pins or...
ad nauseum. That is how it is a defective product.
I think the switchblades are a fantastic idea. I just think they could have done more to make a product that will hold together on a vibrating machine. Don't even want to throw in the rotation of the pegs with the heel support kicked out. Might have knurled that connection point or something.
These things may have increased the price of the pegs a bit. They are already a great idea. If they required less diligence to maintain them in satisfactory condition, they would be a better product.
You're right, I don't know how these things might be considered defective.
