Overtightening, wrong wrench size, or crappy metal. Usually not too many choices.

Just make sure your wrench fits the new bolts correctly.

Unfortunately, that's just what happens with those chucks. They're only good for a limited time. Of course you can switch to the other two, but they'll eventually wear out as well.
