Bearings failed after a few months

Bearing block failed after a few months, has excessive runout - can't find a way to get it back, looks like I'll have to eat it. DO NOT BUY.

Pros
  • Replacement bushings
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Pros
  • inserts of the center drill
Cons
  • the cord is shorter than with other picks

Pros
  • Cutting tools
Cons
  • Slightly torn
