Ted is there a reason you are favoring breaking the rod instead of machined? It is a cheaper way for mass production, but not necessarily better for strength or longevity.
It is also not that difficult to set up a small punch press that could break the caps either. If all of the manufacturing is going to be sub'ed out, they are going to get very pricey.
A problem I see is getting the heat treat close enough for the rod not to be too brittle, but hard enough not to stretch when the cap is broken.
