Knock on wood.

It will fail it's just a matter of when. Mine failed in a year. Since it was under warranty they sent a new one for free. used for a few months and had a bad feeling it would break. It just made a funny sound when extended further than 3/4 of its maximum length. Put on a Barker 3500 18" VIP and it has been perfect and trouble free.
