💡 QC Insight for Buyers
Many assembly defects in toys—like broken gaps—occur because factories rely too heavily on “manual feel” rather than mechanical precision. If a factory tells you they assemble everything by hand to “save costs,” they are actually increasing your risk of structural damage.
Pro-tip: When choosing a manufacturer, ask to see their **”Assembly Jig”. A factory that uses a dedicated press-fit jig shows they understand mechanical tolerance, whereas a factory that manually forces parts together is a high-risk partner for precision products like Fidget PADs.
