Put them in the same category as the quick change out tines Toro came out with the special tool.

Yes, that was an epic fail. Our first 1298 came with the quick change tines. After breaking too many collars to count, and having the tines stuck in the collars to where you had to literally break the collar to remove the tine, I complained loud enough to get a free set of the regular heads. Not to mention we broke the tool within the first few uses and the new tool they had sent us was a much heavier, beefed up version.
