There were some AccuBonds with loose tips during the first year of manufacture, when demand was incredibly high. They were traced to one guy on the assembly line, who had decided on his own to speed up the process. The problem was quickly fixed and I haven't heard of any since (though anything is possible). During normal manufacture the jacket is crimped tightly around the "rod" projecting downward from the tip.
