Case Saver Quality

Just received (30) Case Savers from our host.
As I was giving them a quick inspection the first thing I noticed was a good amount of swarf that came off the pieces as I poured them out on my desk. If I was to gently wire brush all of the pieces there would be quite a bit more as they all have chips both inside and out.
Second - if you look close at the crest of the threads it appears there is a grove. This is typical of all the pieces.
Third is the very poor quality of one of the case savers. Maybe the tooling was dull?

I was expecting these pieces to be more "aircraft" quality given the amount that has been written concerning how critical the installation of these items is.

Any thoughts about these three observations?
swarf
grooved thread crests
poor thread quality (1) piece

Am I being too picky?
