Alexander-Roberts Company

I have a friend who experienced catastrophic failure of an Alexander-Roberts toggle in his mast rigging. When questioned, Alexander-Roberts fessed-up that they had had a bad batch of toggles, and that those made since have a designating mark to identify the good ones. Why the old ones weren’t recalled raises a red flag for me. Googling will turn up other references to Alexander-Roberts failures.

Hello,
Rather than offer any opinion on AR hardware, I'll just say that I prefer Hayn or Schaefer.
Fair leads,

I've used AR fittings in my business for 13 years without a problem.
