Space is did hit the nail on the head in his last post. You've got to look past the initial cost on virtually any product that is top shelf quality today. Most people don't look at the increased longevity/production you may get on a good piece of equipment.
I've stihl got a FS 80 string trimmer going that has to be approaching 25 years of use. The same with an old lawn boy commercial push mower with the cast iron sleeve. I paid about 350.00 for that push mower 23 years ago, I could have bought a murray at wal-mart for 59.00, my dad gave me hell at the time as I didn't have a pot to pizz in, little did he know I was just following his example. By the time you amoritize the cost out over the extra years of use it usually saves you money to wait and buy the best possible tools you can afford. In my little world it has proven to save me money in the long run.
Today, I'm shopping for a bbq grill that will last me years as I'm tired of spending 100.00 bucks every two years to put replacement burners in this danged Sam's Club grill.
