I noticed this also---once you've corrected a landscaping problem with, say, a high-wheeled mower trimmer, you won't need that machine again for awhile. However, when my lawnmower died on Friday I got out the 20-year-old Craftsman mower-trimmer that had not been used in 10 years, put in a bit of gas, and it started! Amazing that a spark plug could last that long in a humid garage.

Yes, I'm already tired of the corded dethatcher, now that I've experienced the satisfaction of a cordless machine.

Yes, but as you say, when you need it you need it.
