Blew $400 on a fancy pole pruner and it snapped on the third branch...

My brother bought the same brand chainsaw a few years back and the chain flew off like three times in one afternoon. I swear companies just slap a big price tag on stuff now and hope nobody notices they used the cheapest metal they could find.

Oh but here's what gets me, nobody ever talks about how these companies swap out parts between models. My friend worked at a shop and said they use the same motor block in the cheap ones and the expensive ones, just change the housing and paint job. So you're paying triple for basically the same guts that still have the same junk metal chain. It's a scam wrapped in a shiny box.

I mean even I can't keep a chainsaw in one piece @jennifer833, and I can barely operate a screwdriver without hurting myself.
