Gibraltar SC-LBBT-TP Cymbal Boom Arm

I owned two arms SC-LBBT-TP and both are broken. First one broke after 1 year and second one after 1,5 year. One had broken swing nut that middle screw broke in thread and it fall in two pieces. Second broke in cymbal holder. That is good question how can cymbal from Cu alloy destroy steel shaft that is holding it. No keyhole in cymbal but shaft is broken. Never seen this before. I also have very old stand made by BASIX and still working (11 years). Also stability of cymbals depend how spring under cymbal is turned (not good solution). But i was very satisfied with controling and locking. If you want some arms for not so often playing you can choose this for low price. But i do not recomend for more often using like playing every weekend or training every day.

Pros:
+ good controling and locking systems - everything goes easy

Cons.
- bad quality of used material - only for not often hobby playing
- spring under cymbal - stability of cymbal
