So my dad comes home and asks me to help him work on the yard. No problem. I mow and he gets out the brand new Black & Decker Edger he has just purchased. It's a big thing, red and black and looking like something that could take off your feet if it was so inclined. It looked powerful. It looked sturdy. It looked like a real power tool.. (

Well umm MAYBE if you took care of yourself (ie your back) and MAYBE if you got proper sleep, this wouldn't happen.

But hey, don't let logic get in your way. Enjoy the pain. Maybe you can learn to love it.

Oh and I forgot to mention...did your dad read the instructions?

[j_malachai]

Yes he did. He's logical like that. I would have just started pressing buttons and pulling triggers and instructions be damned. It's usually more fun that way.

[shade_o_matic]

Ok. Now the next question. Did he actually follow said instructions?

[j_malachai]

Of course. I said he's logical.

This wasns't a matter of user error. This is a matter of Black & Decker making some of the crappiest power tools on the market.
