Just curious, since I can't find a local store that carries the unit, I went to youtube and watched Chris' feature on the unit. It was great. Very helpful. I have read one benefit to being able to pick one out is getting a good one the first time as some have said quality control is not great and sometimes the workmanship can vary. Not sure if that is true. It doesn't sound like anything has really changed on these units in many yrs though Chris says the pre 2000 handles were wood and post, plastic.
