EBS Solder-Free Flat Patch Kit-10

I own several ebs patch cables and i like them, they are well built and the flat connectors let me spare a lot of space on my pedalboards. The patch cable kit could have been a good idea but the way it's conceived shows some flaws. The screws on the sides of the connectors should pierce the rubber sleeve of the cable in order to connect the ground wire to the jack shaft but sometimes it doesn't happen; maybe the screw isn't fasten enough due to my lack of practice but the risk of a missing connection is real. Regarding the connection of the signal wire: inside the connector a pin has to be forced into the signal wire by sliding the cable inside the connector. The pin is very fragile and it can break even during the assembly. Although i checked every cable with a tester after putting them together i had to replace a couple of them due to failure(broken pin). At that point i removed all of them from my pedalboard to avoid unwanted blackouts.
