The throwaway market

I am feeling a bit miffed today. I finally decided today to shave off my winter fur. I went into the bathroom pulled out my Wahl haircutting kit. Chose the combs I would need to use. Plugged in my rechargeable clippers. (they were out of charge) Turned the clippers on and WTF that is a strange loud noise. So I started looking and to my dismay found that a plastic piece that holds the spring for the reciprocating blade had broken. Damn throwaway economy! Here is what I shall do. I am going to contact Wahl through their website and see if they have a replacement part available. Mind you I have had the clippers for about a year but they have only been used around six times.
