I'd like to replace them with those big fat meaty ones like those you see in
a hospital.

Googling, they're pretty expensive at $20 to $40 each!


You can get them cheaper, but 'hospital quality' implies lots of testing, including
guaranteed how-hard-they-hold-when-you-pull. There's lots of 'industrial' that's
just as rugged (and cheaper).
