I had a look at the link and those jacks look a bit on the wimpy side. They are no good for input jacks as they do not have a closed-contact for the tip.
It is really difficult to tell without seeing them in real life and handling them.
Where I used to live, some Hong Kong importers moved in and offered a wide range of electronic parts. Some of it, like most of their jacks and switches, were junk, but other things were good quality. You have to be selective and try not to let price be the final arbiter.
Have fun
Won't this Chinese jack, which I have, do the same job as the Switchcraft jack? looks very much the same, see attached photos?
