Brief
User @mhp_guy recounts on May 2, 2026 a series of lawn-care product failures: a $800 Milwaukee pole saw died after 57 days, a $300 aerator bent after minor movement, a supposedly "extra durable" hose sprayed him, and a "commercial grade" weed barrier failed. He also spilled gasoline filling a weedeater and cleaned a stalling Toro mower engine, expressing frustration at declining quality despite high prices.
Why it matters
On 2026-05-02 @mhp_guy reports his $800 Milwaukee pole saw failed after 57 days of ownership.
Key details
- He says a $300 aerator bent in half after backing up an inch, a "made in the USA extra durable" garden hose sprayed him in the face, and an "extra thick commercial grade" weed barrier tore while pulling weeds.
- While filling a weedeater he poured gasoline over his shed and had to clean a stalling mower engine (doesn't blame Toro); he says he'll pay whatever to get a decent product.
