Don't waste your money. Handle snapped in half on my first tortilla.

Don't waste your money. Handle snapped in half on my first tortilla.
I was so excited to make homemade corn tortillas, and took my time researching tortilla presses before spending extra money on a cast iron one. Opening the box, I saw that the handle was not attached to the body of the press, but that hardware was provided. Instructions were not. However, I do, fortunately, have common sense.The hardware consists of an internally threaded pin and a short screw. Clearly, it's a pivot pin for the handle. All good. I attached the handle, ensuring it was secure but not too tight so that the handle would actually pivot through its entire range of motion. Easy peasy.I made up the recipe on the enclosed card, lined the press with plastic wrap as instructed, and prepared to press my first tortilla. I closed the top, brought the handle over, pressed it down...and the handle snapped in half. Now, I'm no linebacker. I'm a 51-year-old, 5'3" tall woman who weighs 130 lbs and has fibromyalgia. It's not like I did a handstand on the thing or went medieval on it. But it literally snapped in half on the first use, bruising my knuckle and causing a flurry of profanity.And I can't even return it, as the 30 days has passed. (I did still make the tortillas, though, using a wooden cutting board to press them flat, then a rolling pin to thin them out. Worked fine.)
