In fact, the calipers do look and feel robust, solidly built, and nicely finished (for what they are, that is,) and the knocking off of certain Tektro/TRP calipers comes right down to the additional piston return springs on top. It's the actuating arm that could use a redesign, possibly in favor of a one-piece affair that could eliminate the issue.
Yes, my words. I don't feel obligated to use only your words. I might have opted for other adjectives like crap, poor-quality, mediocre, or many others, but I guess I was in a bad mood. If brakes aren't able to be installed so they function properly, that sounds pretty bad to me - bad design, bad craftsmanship, bad assembly. Bad decision...but you already acknowledged that.
