Werner is being foolish because if I convince even one person to not
buy a Werner paddle, they would have been better off replacing mine.

I think you are being incorrect in blaming Werner. I've had several Werner
paddles, some for more than 5 years, and none have ever exhibited the shaft
breakdown you describe, ever!

Werner has been making high quality paddles for a long time. They are a
leader in the industr and my personal favorite. I cannot imagine why your
paddle did what it did, but I do not in any way believe it's a
manufacturing defect.
