Query: Broken leg clamps

At first I loved this tripod and all its features. Worked great for a few months then the lever on the ball head started slipping and couldn't completely clamp down on the ball. The lever is plastic but the ball screw is metal. Overtime the lever gets loose. The most serious problem was that recently 3 leg clamps broke when I tightened them down. Glad I discovered this before it damaged my SLR. Seems that this is a common problem with this Manfrotto re-branded tripod. It makes me cautious about the Manfrotto's as it seems they have a similar type of leg clamps.
