As the title says what is the worst peice of branded machinery or tool you have purchased, i had the misfortune to invest in a Toro 22280 commercial lawnmower which has to be the biggest load of junk out there, as i only have about a year left so have to stick with it or it would be down the scap yard, this lawnmower can not collect or mulch in the wet or dry,they call it commercial but the sticker is on the engine so i assume this referes to the engine.

  • Funny you mention that mower , I returned it to the dealer after it was performing pathetically on lawns my cobra and stihl mowers had no problems with! The rep said they sell thousands without comebacks and the dealer offered to tweak around with it , but in the end gave me a full refund!

  • Yes we bought one of these, totally agree, absolute junk managed to sell it privately. We run other Toro kit which is fantastic.

    The Stihl HSA26.... honestly useless - whereas the Stihl mini pruner/chainsawGTA26 is fantastic

      I quite like ours - quite good for trimming Buxus balls!

        Makita brushless hedge trimmer, no durability at all, gears are all plastic which broke on mine after little use on nice easy maintenance hedges and the electrical system failed on my father in laws after even less use

        Yes Stihl HSA 26 gets a lot of use . Overhanging plant tidy around walls . Cutting back lavender stems , small grass edging jobs , I even use it for slicing through weeds to ground level between paving .

        It stands up to a lot of abuse and battery power is amazing
