I had some of the latest versions of the Cinelli allen bolt binders, and two of the center "nuts" easily cracked under moderate tightening, When I contacted the Cinelli distributor about them breaking, they confirmed the problem, but would not offer replacements, Trust me, I don't have a Gorilla grip when it comes to tightening bolts, so it wasn't my fault.

I say this because some of the alternatives offered by CR list members may be more durable --- can't vouch for them since I never owned one, but suspect they may be more durable than those currently produced by Cinelli,

For what it's worth,
