Boy that has sure not been my experience.  I've been racing one since I 
bought my car in 1979 (and it was a race car when I got it).  They often 'clank' 
like they fell off during a race.  To a point where we always feel, "Well, sure 
as heck it's shot now!", but every time we open it up and look at it, it looks 
like brand new.  We've had ring and pinion failures, but the Locker always 
stood up.

Perhaps not as smooth as other options, but I think they're tougher than 
nails.
