[TC7]

Just got my first power auger yesterday , a gift from my wife . I brought out the family for a couple of hours on the lake today and on the first hole the thumb throttle snapped . Cheap plastic garbage . However it still made short work of about 15" of ice . Not one fish either , now that's just plain embarrassing. Insult and injured pride all in one day. What I can't understand is that it broke as I was holding it down and still drilling , I could see if it broke on the lift out and my hand slipped , but in the middle of drilling the hole ? Sad stuff , when the company forgets that their outdoor equipment needs to be durable .
