   How did you manage to break them?  I've never had one break!  Neither 
my Fenix, my Modcan, nor my own modules have ever suffered from weak 
jacks.  Heck, some of the products my company make have banana jacks and 
in the past 10 years I don't recall anyone ever having broken one.
   Now mind you, those PAIA banana jacks suck, so I can certainly 
understand it if you got hold of a batch of those.  :)  But those Pomona 
jacks are near indestructable.
