Does anyone have experience with CardanMaster driveline components? I'm wondering if this slip yoke is safe to use.

Bump.
Anyone have some input?
No experience, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be.
Sorry to be negative, but what could possibly go wrong with car parts from Amazon?

That's precisely why I'm asking the question.
I've purchased name brand parts on Amazon with no problem, but I can't find information on this brand.
That's a Spicer part number why not just buy the 2-3-13461X from Spicer? I'm normally a cheap bastard and love cheap parts but I will always buy Spicer driveline components if they are available.
In reply to Bigben :
All I could find is that there are zero mentions outside of Amazon, name registration to the parent company which I'm guessing is Chinese based on the name, some discount parts place in Zambia, a German URL that translates to "the best water for you".de... and similarly Internet-sketchy randomness.
I wouldn't save this particular $30 unless it's more important to save the $30 than for it to fit and not fail.
I'm not worried about a Chinese part. I'm worried about a part which only exists on Amazon and weird attempts at search engine gaming.
So, based on this website https://www.findthisbest.com/brand/661632-cardanmaster
It looks like CardanMaster parts were originally sold by a Chinese company. Will it fit? Probably. Will it last? If you have stock parts, probably.
If it were me, would I try and find something domestic? Yeah. Sometimes you don't get that luxury though.
I agree with the concerns that have been voiced. I was just checking to see if anyone had positive experience to negate the doubts. I can get one from Spicer and it is $45 more. The reason I was even looking at the CardanMaster one is the possibility I may need to build a driveshaft for the Challenge and every little bit of savings helps.
I'd actually go for a used one if I could figure out what year and model Nissan came with that slip yoke and standard 1310 u-joints, instead of the annoying non-replaceable ones.
What Nissan spline and transmission is it for? I have the part number somewhere for a 350z to 1330 yoke that uses snap rings could probably get you close

I thought while I was poking around I found the Spicer one at Summit for only $30 more... Unless I've been bitten by not absorbing something about the part name/number... (Not sure whether you do Prime or how the shipping rates compare; harder when you're already paying more for the part, but I'll usually spend a few bucks to get something from a specialist instead of Amazon.)

Its for a 71 series manual trans , specifically a FS5W71C used in cars and trucks. The older 71 series trans use the same splines also as far as I know. Comments I've seen a couple of places make it sound like some auto trams also use it but I have no idea which ones. Here are the specs on the spicer Slip yoke and alternative brand yoke
The challenge is finding one that came with standard replaceable u-joints from the factory.

Dang it. I was just there today picking up a couple of other things and they were having a 10% off sale. I hadn't seen your post yet and didn't even think to check for a yoke.
