Default "Western Rugged" brand auger?

Anyone out there have experience or even heard of the Western Rugged "52cc 2.2HP 200mm auger? I've scoured the internet... Seemingly no information on them. Does anyone have anything to say for them positive or negative? Or is an auger something that one should not buy knock-off/cheap models?

From the very little I could find online the auger looks like a cheap Princess Auto/Toolshed tool. Probily the same quality as the powerfist line of tools. If I were you I would look at places like cabelas, wholesale sports, fishing hole ect and get something that has a warranty and you can get parts for easy. I got a 43cc Frabrill auger with a 10" leg last year at Cabelas for $350. Great auger and starts first pull every time, or a eskimo, or even Rapala. Just look for sales.

Thanks guys. I may also pursue a used one provided it is in decent running condition. The reality is I'm not opposed to hand drilling since we're usually out in groups of 3-4. I just figured I would snoop around for a deal.
