That's good! Most of them have the tip break off! Get together with
someone with a broken tip and swap parts and you'll have a good one between
you.

Yah I've seen that too. I'd always used the regular mounts with those
and thought for some of the uses I put it to a shock mount would be
right handy so I finally bought one. THat was partly due to my
regular mount being fubar.
Getting to the point where I almost won't let helpers take down
