"After over two years of intensive development efforts, we are announcing the availability of new, heat treated alloy apex seals. These seals offer 700% more bending strength and are 33% harder than the current after market competitors (Atkins and Hurley)."



Too good to be true?

Just got mine a few days ago, shouldn't be more than a few days before I can get it back together. I am interested to see the long term though, if they really do prevent the edge grooving.
