Most folks seem to be pleased with the KMW product since he's creating something that people want. It is a side thing for him and he's not doing pipeline or decorative welding. So you might have to wait and the welds won't be perfect. All that aside, the overall look is cool and I think they're not going to break! FYI, I don't have any of his stuff or even know him, but live in ATL and have seen many folks who put them on.
