This is the one I use. Never had another issue and it comes with a new pulley with a higher sidewall all for $100

I like the newera one 
Took what was wrong, and problems with the other styles. Doesn't use a cheaper normal shoulder bolt with the head ground down, that the face will rust. And when you thin the head you loose the hex depth for good tool engagement to tighten the bolt. And its all stainless so it will not rust ever, when the bolt is not stainless the shoulder part has no finish and will rust inside the pivot and not move free. Took the body and base, and machined out all extra alum to make it lighter.

ya, I forgot too. they have the corners opened up were you put the 3/8 ratchet in. So after being used for a long time its still nice. The soft alum gets warn after use, and the square corners don't stay nice and square you just let all the tighten force on them all the time.
