Pooh-pooh Poulan

I am disappointed in my new Poulan tree trimmer.  I earlier shared how I returned the first one because it was assembled incorrectly, putting my nephew and I in danger of having fire fall from the trees onto us.  The next trimmer worked great for about six hours, then started to crap out, acting persnickety and running intermittently.

We ended up exchanging that one, too.  When my nephew took it back to the store, the manager said 'That's the third one you are getting!'  'Yes, I know'  he conceded.  Then, 'Are you sure you know what you are doing with it?  I mean, did you check the mix on the oil and fuel, and eveything?'  'Well,' Clayton replied, 'I'm pretty savvy about power tools, and, considering that this is an electric trimmer, the problem isn't the fuel.'  The manager ended his pompous lecture right then and there.

So, we are on the third trimmer to finish the driveway trees. Granted, it's a big job, but I spent over $120.00 on this thing.  It should last longer than six hours!

I am disappointed.  As you might remember, I have waited a long time and wanted one for a long time.  I have tree trimmer disenchantment.
