i have seen bad reviews on skunks shit. about how the thin piece of metal between the large oval hole for the ball joint and the oval slot for the screws will squish far enough away from the screw that the washer doesnt even catch it anymore. they are the same design as what i have now and i hate it. plus the allen heads rounding out. just going by reviews, i have not tried both. but i doubt skunk has some magic steel that can be just as thin as everyone elses and not bend.
