I keep snapping high e-strings on my Eastman mandolins. Usually they will be fine for a few days or weeks, but then I'll be tuning and one will snap.
This has happened multiple times on two Eastman mandolins I own. Is this a problem with Eastmans in particular? It's extremely frustrating. There's nothing unusual about the way I attach the strings, and I always bring them up to pitch gradually after a string change. The strings are snapping near the tuning post.
