I wouldn’t waste time or
money trying to
repair a possible knockoff
CQR because you can buy a genuine used one for next to nothing, plus they don’t perform even close to what many newer anchors do. I’m
sold on my SPADE but as the
anchoring threads that Ann mentions show, there are several other good options as well. Your
CQR will make a good conversation starter as a sculpture if carefully and thoughtfully placed in your flower garden.
