Shit is not built like it used to. Also generally people dont know how to do even basic maintenance on equipment so for the average millenial do they throw out their lawnmower when it doesnt cut anymore or do they check to see if the blade needs sharpening or if peice needs a replacement. Basic maintenance can make your tools go far beyond a normal lifespan. Heck my father uses a table saw from the 50s, still runs extremely well. Just needed its parts replaced every now and again.
The newer stuff is built so you can't even repair it anymore if you wanted to. Pretty soon we'll bring cars to the scrap yard because they ran out of gas.
Depends on what you buy. I dont know shit about electronics, so if that's the problem I got to take it in for repairs. But if it's a mechanical problem, I can take it apart and replace it. If I cant take it apart well, then I'm screwed.
IIN to be surprised by prices of things you’ve never bought before?
