Who makes ABC Huevos? Where?
They are identical in sizing and design to BD Stoppers.
I heard a rumor that when Chinard was bought out and became Black Diamond, they moved their Stopper manufacturing to Salt Lake. ABC tracked down the manufacturing facility in China and had them continue making them. The source on this is highly unreliable.
Smilies are somehow involved, I think, too.

I'm not sure who's making them, but I like 'em a lot. They perform as good or better than any other stopper I tried, and they're damn cheap.

A guy I bought a set from on ebay said Omega Pacific was the manufacturer.
Considering the source, take this info with a block of salt.

ABC was the original quality stopper (IMO). They then made Smileys and then BD bought them and that's why the stoppers are colored now. It's all about the colored stopper, BTW. I love my "Big Red."

Anyone know why they seem to be the only pro without a strength rating stamped or printed on them?

Their programs sounds ok, but I don't think that private companies should be using prision workers.

Yes I did.
When private for profit companies use cheap prison labor there are many abuses that can take place. I don't feel the risks are worth the benefits of such a system, its a small step from slave labor imho.
From other things I have read about prison labor it sounds like bad news!
Have them do public works projects or something like that.
