The switch on the 40V weed whacker gave out recently, but that's after 3 years of seriously hard work with both the tri-arc blade and the plastic double blade attachment, whacking down heavy woody weeds along pasture lines. That being said, a replacement switch was a few bucks on eBay and it's back in business again...

The website is run on from an Atari 1600 mainframe but the blemished products are solid.
They take a broken tool, call it "reconditioned", throw it loosely into a box far too big for it, and it arrives in multiple pieces. It's also missing essential accessories for it to function.
You get nowhere with their support channels -- emails, phone calls go in circles. "We'll investigate and get back to you." What do you need to investigate? My tool isn't working! Give me an RMA label in my email so we can do a swap or refund.
Days go by, and they refuse any refund or exchange. You escalate, get nowhere. You blast a message to them on their anti-social media handles -- thinking public shaming might work. Pro tip -- that doesn't work anymore (since Twitter went off the deep end, this tactic lost ANY ability to influence results in your favor).
So in the end, you call up your CC company for a chargeback -- with a record of all communications and attempts to make the situation right. Which requires you to sign forms and get a new CC number (most cards require this now for every chargeback -- so now anything that's routinely/automatically charged needs to be updated, lest it get cancelled on you).
Direct Fools Outlet is not worth the hassle. Save your money, save your time, save your patience -- buy from Home Despot. At least they're very reasonable with returns if you have one of their many retail locations near you.
