Anyone know how the new batch of purple T7s fare in this respect? That would be the purple batch with the "rounded" (actually faceted) corners of the handles. Did they strengthen it in the locations that have been breaking?
No, they didn't strengthen it, as far as I can tell. I've ordered two, and I'm just going to proactively weld gussets in the weak spots so they won't break. I trashed mine in the exact same way as AlanChambers mentioned, and my dad welded it for me (i have a cool dad! 🙂) Now that my first T7 is rewelded, it's a beast, and I won't break it!
