I'd rather avoid Chinese, and international purchasing, importing.
Thank you, though.

Might think of returning it for replacement. A good one won't crack.
My Porter has some light dinging where I used a steel hammer on it, at

the black (hard) face of a Lixie "No-Bounce" 1 lb. shot-filled hammer
when I want some serious twisting.
