I have weed eater many times and the weed eater has been dropped, stepped on, and hit with a golf cart and has not only still worked, but required no repair. I am thoroughly pleased with the durability and longevity!
I use an elderly man's mower to cut his 3 acres and this mower is over 25 years old. It still runs with impressive speeds and a smooth sound. I am more than impressed by the longevity of this brands products!
