Reply to I bought this Wahl Hair Cutting Kit 15 years ago in 2008 for $20 or so. Works like new and never done me wrong. It must've saved me hundreds, especially working overtime during the pandemic. by Mad_Juju
Mine is super worn but motor is strong and reliable. About 20 years plus. Made in US.
Using 2-3 times a week for all this time. That’s at least 2000 times used.

What is it for?
I wake up every morning around 6:30 and just do shit.
If I need to wake up earlier, I use an "at" command on my laptop. Which I have to have anyway. And some versions of which you have to have also.
What is this thing for?

Cheap things coming in big boxes are kind of the opposite of BIFL

Unfortunately, I think it’s a type of early plastic.

Yes, I agree, I remember that once I was gifted an Alexa clock thing and I gave it away. I hate those things lol.

Shop around because randomly one store will charge 2x more than another, and it's not like one store is always the highest price. Usually but not always the amazon store mt mercantile is the cheapest

Recommend me a Stihl saw for home use. Clearing brush, saplings, and tree limbs. I’d rather have a but too much power than not enough. Thank you!

I have an MS260 PRO that was a $100 LetGo score. New intake boot, plug, chain and bar, and with routine maintenance, I have a saw that will likely outlast me. Great score, congrats!

I have a similar wahl that I bought in 1995 when my wife and I were dating. She has been cutting my hair with it since. I am pretty sure it was like $35 back then, and it's seen a lot of monthly haircuts...
