It is not the threaded tip that falls out of the cheap ones. It the whole end piece, threaded parts and all. Leaves you with nothing but the cable. They are not crimped on properly.On that note, I have also lost the tips from the duraflex as well. Nothing assures them staying other than loctite, even on name brand scratchers.
Between the lines designs has some nice mounting options for the Duraflex scratcher.

No issues with them hitting anywhere after 3 seasons. I've had several buddies mount them in the same spot without issue thus far.

These also work great, been running them for years now and they hold up good with minimal wear.
