Quality....my a**e..!!

[john-e89]

I’ve always bought cheaper petrol equipment for garden stuff, hard to justify Stihl unless it’s your job, apart from a lawn mower, but having had what is truly a nasty pile of Russian crap leaf vac, yesterday I bought a Stihl, buy cheap buy twice is my philosophy with hand power tools so I thought no, I’ll get the best.....or so I thought....assembled it this morning, went out to play on the drive where after two mins Mr postie thrust a bundle of junk mail in my hand, then the gestapo came out to take said mail off me, looked at it, muttered something about a pile of junk, then she proceeded to back straight over my brand new, run for two mins toy. Well ok, these things happen, but I was pretty miffed that this ‘King of tools’ couldn’t take a mere 2 and half tons of RR Evoque being parked on top of it.....seems even Stihl have sold out to cheapness..... :x

Stihl chainsaws aren't what they used to be

That’s Stihl consumer level though, the professional level will survive a caterpillar driving over it....possibly

Wow, that’s pretty sturdy in my book!

Buy cheap buy twice works for me. Most stuff like this doesn't get used enough to break. :wink: Different buying something I am going to use every day. Then I buy the best I can afford.

I blame the dope who left it on the drive

Hope you're going to claim on her insurance?

It's only a scratch John, just use a bit of tcut and it'll be like new

 

[Mr Tidy]

You know it's always going to be your fault, John.

Tape out and back up and running within 5mins MrT....

You know what I always say about tools, you only need a hammer, a screwdriver and 10 rolls of gaffa tape in the trade....anything else is just unnecessary baggage.... :lol:

I’d buy mine a new Stihl for Xmas if she did that to my toys.

Result, but you really need to add cable ties to your tool-kit!
