I don't own any JB Weld. If I did, and it worked fine, then that'd be okay. But doesn't it make sense to expect a product you paid for to work properly? I'm fine with the shipping costs involved in having to send a product in for repair. But should I have to go out and BUY some JB Weld to make a product work that I already paid good money for? At MSRP that makes my $40-60 Palio into a $45-65+ Palio that I had to repair myself. That figure doesn't include possible taxes and shipping costs either. Does this mean that all of the Xbox 360 owners who got the RRoD on their consoles should have to dish out the repair costs for their systems?

Don't get me wrong, I love my Palios when they work. I prefer my Xikar products a little more, but I use both. With Xikar and Palio I expect to get what I pay for, which is a premium. I don't mind turning them in to get them repaired or replaces, but if I am to be expected to try to make fix stuff myself then I would just opt for a $2 cutter and chuck it when it breaks or no longer cuts.
