breaking loops

[Richard Brekne]

I have a hunch these two comments are where the problem (in my case) 
lies... tho to be sure I do not know these things.  Still it seems to 
make sense.  In the picture provided by Ron N., the upper loop looks 
like the ones I am getting.  If the lower loop in the picture provides 
less stress on the loop and otherwise is sound, then I will send it 
along to the maker for their edification.

Thanks for all the commentary. 

Cheers

         From JD's earlier commentary:

    These were my observations to the maker. I asked for a longer
    loop with a lower entry angle into the spiral, not cranked to
    the very limit of slack. The above loop was from the set that
    was breaking, the lower from the replacement set that didn't.
