Boeing Quick Change wobble?

I was going to spoil myself and purchase the Boing Quick Change set from Cleaveland Tool, and it was delivered today.

I picked out some brand new drill bits from storage and swapped out the chuck on my Sioux drill. When I went to test everything out, I was a bit dissappointed to find that a couple of the little adapters that you clamp a #30 or #40 bit in wobbled...kind of badly.

Here's some videos of the wobble:

And a longer bit:

I at first thought it was a warped bit, so I tried 3 more, brand new bits with the same results. I tried different combinations of bits and adapters and still had wobble.

Is this common for these systems? It looks as if the actual jaws in the adapter are off center a tiny bit.
 
I know nothing about those quick change adapters, but for that kind of money, you could have 2 or 3 extra used air drills & do your quick change with the air fittings.

I would really contemplate returning them or calling them out on quality. Maybe a quick phone call to hear thier thoughts.

Yeah, I am pretty disappointed after that price. The kit looks well designed, so I am not sure if the adapters I got are just bad, or what.
