I have already spoken to Thomas about this but here is the info for you.

I now have 6 sets that don't work. (A buddy of mine also has 6 sets that don't work.)

Two of the sets, the females just simply don't fit in the males. Some of those females (when compressed so the spring is taken out of them) measure significantly over the I.D of the males.

The other four sets, can be used, but only by Superman. Measured on a bathroom scale, it takes about 25 pounds of pressure to seat them. Once seated, I was only able to separate them holding one end in a vise and pulling the other with pliers.

In addition, when I tried some females from these new sets with some males from a new motor (1410) I found that the bullet loosened up the further the male was inserted into the female. When fully seated, the the male would easily rotate in the female.

I see that some vendors still have some of these for sale. If they are part of the bad lot, I would think you would want to pull them, at least so you have less to replace when people have problems with them.
