Lots of opinions. I'm an extra-simple man. Carry extras at all times! I have 2 to 4 extra connectors just for the Andersen links. Two of the four are heavier duty. But, since I've been carrying all that extra stuff for three years, have I had an issue? Nope! Go figure. But I inspect ALL connection points every time I get out for a break. I have 13-points of interest to put my hands on, just for the hitch area.
Andersen, Oliver, and any traitor maintenance company is simply going to out-source that part, and hope they're buying a high-end product. Damned if we can tell which Chinese part is good at the big-box-stores here in America. All we can do is bight it, lick it, and try to bend it with our barehands. "Yup, looks good." Many don't even have a strength indicator on them. Very annoying.
