But the real folly is in buying an electric tool at whatever price, when the job can be done faster and better with a cheaper hand tool. Which will last far longer, too: I'm still using a rake* that came with the house I bought ~18 years ago.
*And many other yard tools: bought the house from an older woman who was moving in with her kids, so got everything thrown into the deal. Some of the tools might have been in use for half a century.
