Does Bro-Tek Thumb have same slipping problem as Wallenstein?

Does anyone have the Bro-Tek or Wallenstein on a Woods BH6000? Has there been any slippage? Otherwise, how has the performance been?

We sold 3 of these "Bro-Tek", dating back in 2006. Everybody is happy.

The forces at the ends are the same, however they are applied differently within the pivoting arm because the top link is straight and the Wallenstein isn't. The forces are vectored. Some of the early Wallenstein's buckled at the locations where that piece is angled. The Wallenstein's have been reinforced such that they can now withstand more force, so this is no longer an issue for the new models.

Couldn't have put it better myself! I wasn't aware that the reinforced the Wallenstein, thanks.
