Stihl


I sound like a commercial for their weed eater.

I got tired of mine breaking all the time and noticed all the yard service guys had Stihl.

Bought one 3 years ago and have. Ever had one problem with it. Service it and it runs great every time.

I agree. Anything 2 cycle like a weed eater, edger, blower, hedge trimmers and chainsaw just buy a Stihl. Nothing more aggravating than trying to do yard work with machinery that will not get the job done and constantly has to be replaced because the stuff doesn’t last and half the time won’t start.

Yep. Though somethings are to good to be true buy it for lives. Like those dumb arse bed in a box mattresses. Those cash grabs will be gone in 5-6 years when people notice their foam beds are sunk to hell and want new ones.

For most gym equipment for my garage gym I do this, I go by the motto

"Buy once, cry once"

Hardwood furniture. No veneer in my home. Should last generations (even with pets/kids)

I absolutely do this.

It is cheaper in the long run.
