    It was not really a snap, just a limp bending and tearing apart, probably made in china.

    Take an old axle shaft to a machine shop, have them turn it down and taper the end... Your grandkids may use it some day.

    Or a torsion bar out of an old Dodge or IFS GM. You break that and You’ll deserve a medal.
