    Hey not sure how it happened but my power auger shaft bent …. still usable but now shakes like crazy. Any suggests for bending it back or closer to back as a new one is about $200

    Heat and bend in a vise? I assume unless it’s perfectly straight that there will always be some “wobble”.

    exactly my thoughts and probably do some damage to the gears.

    What model and shaft you looking for, quite a few used ones out there.
