M style spinning guide durability?

I have been building a lot of spinning rods with high frame M style guides for the butt guide. I know they hold up fine for me, but wondering if anyone sees how they hold up for customers - who are too often not so careful.

Thanks,
Marc

Haven't had one fail yet, probably 15 years use by me and others I built. Just about every 1141 steelhead rod I built has them.
