you bought a tool long ago
the quality was just so so
it got the job done but the cord has deteriorated and is crumbling now other parts just have not held up
so do you avoid that brand now when thinking of a replacement
or maybe they realized the error of their ways
will the next brand be any better
fool me once shame on you and fool me twice shame on me
other tools with much older cords and parts keep on ticking
planned obsolescence is a very bad strategy with tools as it taints the brand

I've been avoiding Chrysler vehicles since I had a serious lemon with the LeBaron decades ago.
I usually avoid a brand if it proved faulty at one time, BUT, I will consider a second chance if I discover improvements/enhancements with latest models.
;~)
blah, blah, blah I bought a Hilti TE10 or 20 I think from a garage sale. The outer part of the cord was all gone, and where it wasn't it just broke away.
So do I think Hilti is garbage? NO. I think the cord was. I bought a cord and replaced it.
You know the manufacturer of the machine does not make the cord, they buy them,or have them made to a contract.
thought hilti was all air powered but anyway in my case it was more than the cord and showed a lack of attention to important details
have had good luck with makita so that is what i get next
some of my old tools have cords that are still fine so the bad cord materials in some newer tools is a problem
mutual assured disappointment as i have said before the customer dislikes the brand now and the brand loses a customer
read today that french govt is seeking out companies purposefully making things that have a lifespan that is short
not to congratulate them
so if the seats in the car go you blame the upholsterer
the trunk hydraulic arm fails so you blame the arm maker or the maker of the seal on the arm because the arm maker contracted out the seal
how do you discover the improvements
with tools especially there are always the brand cheerleaders
amazingly there are some who know what they're talking about
