I went and looked, this is a model 555, belt driven. Problem is the blade is mounted on an incredibly small shaft which flexes ( I guess) and breaks off. Very poor engineering.

I have owned an Acura and it was a no nonsence vehicle. Totally dependable. Honda or Acura will be my next vehicle.
I have a Honda mower that started its 18th season this year, starts on the first pull after setting up all winter, and the oil still does not get very dirty nor does any disappear.
If Bob Vila uses them, you
:~) snicker..
Couple of years back I was at a fishing camp at Selwyn Lake, on the border of Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. All the outboard motors were Honda, and the owner said he'd never found anything as reliable.
They were also very quiet (as outboard motors go).

I had one Toyota. There was only one item of maintenance it required--every
12,000 miles you replaced the engine to the tune of 5 thousand bucks. The third time I finally trashed the piece of crap.Honda's another one. I had a CB400T that died on me one day--dead starter, and the genii at Honda had decided to remove the kick starter that year, so it ended up permanently dead. Seat must have been designed by the same clan that provided the imperial torturers in earlier days though--I figure the designer lost somebody he cared about at Hiroshima and was getting revenge through that seat design.
Old Nikons are decent equipment. Don't know about the newer ones.
I've never had any significant trouble with a Ford or Chevy.
He has to have the sharpest wit on the wreck.....brings me to tears :-)
Define significant :-)
Fame: Elu, Milwaukee, PC sanders, Makita drills (they take a fall and keep going), old Delta stuff, Lee Valley, Bostich, Toyota
Shame: DeWalt, Woodcraft-Rockville MD store, Mercedes, Ford trucks w/manual transmissions
HD and Lowes make both lists - never rely on them for advice (not w/out being able to judge the validity of that advice), but they've been excellent at times also w/getting large orders together and traipsing all over the store for stuff. A lot of cheap stuff, particularly in HD, so you gotta know what you're buying, but customer service may be on the upswing at both.

Never had one of those 4.5L aluminum block engines that came in my wife's '88 Caddy Seville? OK, not Chevy, but a GM product.

I've got a Chevy Astrovan with about 150,000 miles on it, and the biggest problem I've had was having to replace the alternator at about 120,000.
And I'll show my age by saying that the old Chevy 6's from the
50's and 60's ran forever if you kept the oil changed :-). If they did give any problems, there was enough working room in the engine compatment that I could stand in it next to the motor.That old 2 speed automatic was something else :-).
Works like a charm with the Craftsman direct drive motor. No sloppy belts to deal with and it runs on 110 volts with plenty of power. The old Delta motor was heavier than the Craftsman, but I figure it is heavier because it has more volts in it. I don't need all them volts with the Craftsman because they have a lot more power than other brands. That is what makes them Professional Grade.
I did have to do some adjusting to get the blade and motor assembly lined up just right. I must have been off a little when I drilled the holes through the top. The first few boards I tried to cut kept flying up and hitting the garage ceiling, but then I figured it out. A few hits with the hammer helped, but I had to run a bigger drill through the bolt holes so I could move the motor far enough. Cuts straight now. If it gets out of line and starts throwing wood, I just smack the side of the motor with a hammer and it gets back in line again.
The kitchen cabinets are almost done. I needed more particle board and had a delay because Home Depot ran out, but they got some more in. It gets hard to cut sometimes. My neighbor said I should get a Car Bide blade, but I could not find that brand at either Sears or Home Depot. I even looked for Car Bide Company but found no information on them.

Hmmmm ... let's see ... if a radial arm saw is likely to cut off your arm, then a "unit saw" would ...
Never mind.
