Query: Extremely Poor Quality

I bought this unit in the summer of 2005 for occasional use to reach the tops of the taller shrubs in my yard. It cut poorly from the start (just as other reviewers have stated), but I thought that it would suffice for very limited use. How wrong I was. I mananged to baby it through one season; however, it literally blew into pieces when using it this spring! I had noticed a number of cracks that had appeared in the housing, but hoped that they weren't a major problem. Wrong again. I keep my tools clean, lubricated, and sharpened and many of them are 20 years or older. In 40 years of buying tools, this is the worst piece of junk I've ever owned. Please do not waste your money like I did.
