We've decided to take ours out of the holder to see if it makes any difference!

we keep ours in a holder, and like prev mentioned never had a problem unless dropped quite heavily

How hard is it to get your reels into the holder?

Just pondering if they may have slightly changed and the pressure of the holder is what is cracking them. Might be worth just testing a few out of the holder and seeing if it continues to happen!

They're kept in a stand and it's the top of the casing that always cracks, it like splits right down the length of it if that makes sense! We've totally confused the manufacturer as well! That's 6 we've sent back now for investigation!

Never seen any problems. I'd echo the same as Maisy. They being dropped or knocked over at all?

Are they kept on the reel stand or just loose? Only seen the tops crack if the reels are left loose and usually fall/knocked over, otherwise they are quite sturdy

Ooh, odd one! I work across nine practices and have not heard of this.

Is it the plastic of the top of the tube, or the bung for the top that cracks?
