I would guess that that pinion is from an older batch - this is the 2nd one I have seen, actually(1st one was a smaller gears with a smaller "shank area") - the other was also a 32p from an early batch - from what I gather, the batch was actually over-hardened and caused some embrittlement - send it back and I will replace it. I thought I had filtered them all out (I put the kung-fu grip on the set screw on the batch that had the problem and threw away the ones that shattered), but a few likely got through before I realized the problem.
