Default Help! Need Opinion on skunk2 Retainer Condition!

Hey guys i bought a set of skunk2 titanium retainers from a local guy. He said it came out of a running head. I found 3 retainers that have some nicks on the edge of them. I need your opinion to see if they're still usable. I provided links to the pictures.

Thanks In Advance

they still look usable. but less metal and metal damage means fatigue and degradation of the integrity of the strength....
in lamens terms
they will work but they have their limit.
junk2 retainers are junk from the factory though.....get some supertech ones. i had them and they were alot better.
