I ran into a similar issue when I used 1 lug to install multiple studs, I think around the 4th or 5th it started to deform and get out of shape. After I noticed this I used one lug to install two studs and then swapped out lugs.
I don't think what you're describing is an issue with either product, but rather a byproduct of backyard mechanic-ing your way around not having the right tools and over-stressing the lugs as they were not designed to take the force needed to seat the stud.
