I was drilling in hard clay under a driveway today. The shaft on the borzit broke.
Has anyone had a similar problem with this brand ? Thinking they need a harder steel.
Thanks Tool

shaft

No, but you must have been pushing it too hard for it happen in clay, or not enough water. I could understand it happening in rock if a blade snagged one.

Well, the Manuf. has a new generation 440 heat treated drive shaft coming My way Mon. Think They developed a shaft 4 times the strength for $hits n giggles ?
