The product, in the report: Gardner Dender Grounding clips used for connecting ground wires in metalic conduit boxes. They are called “Grounding Clips” These are Gardner Bender part number GGC-1508, UPC code 032076015084. These numbers apply to a small 8 piece package as sold at hardware stores. They are also sold in larger packages under different numbers. Model GGC-1508, UPC code 032076015084 UPC 032076015084
Gardner Bender Grounding clips, GGC-1508, UPC 032076015084, used for ground connection in residential house wiring, which I purchased several days ago from Ace Hardware in Racine Wisconsin, are extremely brittle. 3 out of four broke as I attempted to install them. They broke as if made from ceramic. I suspect either a bad heat treat process or hydrogen embrittlement. If they are compromised by hydrogen embrittlement, then I believe there is a possibility that some clips will install feeling normal but will completely fracture later potentially compromising the ground
