Hi Dale; My first one gave me more than a decade. I got it at Home Depot and I may have paid $50. It was purchased by a guy who was scraping old wood work. He gave up on that and we had it dipped. So i got the unit, which I paid for. (yeah I know, what contractor wouldn't have his own? My buddies Dad who had recently had his truck stolen.) So from about 1986 till maybe 2002-4. I was given one then, and I guess I under estimated it's usage, maybe 5 or 6 dozen hours. Still disapointing. The product number didn't even come up as having any attachments on the ACE hardware computer. The third, seems good, so far. And was a Father's Day early. Chicago, regular $49. So we'll see. But I agree with you. Almost everything, double price and 1.25 improvement, until the end. But there are the impostuers, they try to run with the big boys and are just *expensive crap. "cello, Levinson, Eagle" amplifiers. Crap in any field fill in the blank, as it goes. Thanks
