The link I posted was to a forum of users who have owned the Hensley and now own the PP hitch. There are many pictures showing the stingers and other parts side by side. For me it was quite interesting to read the opinions of those who have owned both and to see the difference in weld quality. I'm surprised Hensley doesn't just update some of their processes to make it a 21st century product. ie. CNC machine some of the parts, powder coat and automate some of the welding
CNC machining, powder coating, and automated welding are no guarantee against failure.
The integrity of a weld cannot be determined from its superficial appearance.
This link shows a failed ProPride drawbar and its replacement.
The replacement has nice looking welds and a nice looking finish.
I assume the drawbar which failed looked equally nice --before it failed.
