Rant: Lost $200 on a mortar mixer attachment that broke on the first job

Picked up one of those cheap mortar mixer paddle attachments for my drill from a hardware store in Tulsa. Figured it would save time on a retaining wall I was doing last weekend. Second batch of mix and the shaft started wobbling, then the paddle snapped clean off. Tried to return it but they said no refunds on used power tool accessories. Useless piece of junk. Has anyone else had bad luck with those universal mixer attachments or did I just grab the wrong brand?
