Should I return it?
Really it’s got dozens of scratches, but I’m kidding about returning it. I know we all like our new stuff shiny when we get it, I’m making light of that.
I got this to see if I can rake up twigs and branches smaller than my wrist, but not pick up too much pine needles and grass. That’s why I left every other tooth out.
it was $230 from China via an Amazon vendor. 6’ long (two 3’ pieces bolt together to make the back bone). Weighs about 85 lbs.
I absolutely expected it to show up looking like the box went through a washing machine and scratched all to hell. I was not disappointed. Here’s what the contents looked like when I opened the box. Sorry no close ups of the terrible scratches.
But I expect new US made and shipped equipment to show up with a few beauty marks (e.g. hopefully nothing worse than the first 10 hours of use will put on it anyhow).
Here is is assembled and on the little B. Have yet to use it. When it dries up a bit more, I’ll update with how it worked out for what I wanted to do.
