Hey Joe

So far your scenario is EXACTLY what I went through. Although I appreciate Lake's offer to help, I haven't made the call yet because I wanted to see how your deal worked out before I got back into the drill.
Believe me...I know your frustration that's why I haven't been too excited about trying again.
Think about this...after they finally sent me a "new" Induron (I won't really ever know if it was new or not)it did the exact same thing (thumb bar locking in the down position) in the first 10 minutes of use.
Now you know why I was hoping you didn't have to go through what I went through.
Please continue to keep us posted so I'll know if it's worth the trouble to try again.
