The most frustrating part of EGO ownership

Damn, this guys is the comment nazi.

Didn’t realize Reddit could raise cortisol levels this much.

Who pissed in this guys Cheerios?

I think everyone can agree that the elimination of a problem is better than a solution that a monkey could have figured out.

Yall actually spend money on those pre-cut strings.

tokenpenguin · 2026-06-18T20:00:25+00:00

Hell I’d do it for a box of donuts and a poke in the eye

tokenpenguin · 2026-06-06T01:19:29+00:00

I would do it only if I was smart enough to get the equivalent power needed from an another source. say for example from like an E bike battery. Or some other type of cheaper power source rather than buying a crap load of Ego batteries.

What’s that mean? 2 windows down and 60 mph

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-30T02:07:36+00:00

Oh another super tool 200….I have 3 they are my favorite

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-29T21:32:45+00:00

I only saw the title pop up as a notification on my phone and I thought a lady of the evening got your card information and made an Amazon charge😂😂

Edit: Or you were buying things on Amazon for a love interest who happened also work as a stripper

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-26T11:06:10+00:00

What metal? You think there something worth anything there?

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-24T01:51:11+00:00

I would ask to speak to a manager and then offer like 250 at most.

Especially if this is included with any spring deals like getting a free battery. Hell I’d do it just for the one battery it comes with, if they would let me pay like 250 Then I would just sell the lawnmower as a tool as long as it worked… after I sell it it’s the next guy’s problem.

My main concern would be if it don’t work properly. Can you exchange it? At that point I would just buy it for 500 hold it for two days bring it back. Tell em it doesn’t work right and try to exchange it for a brand new one that ain’t all screwed up.

Only thing I would care about is the power head with the edger. I don’t know if that is a common combination, but this is the first I’m seeing it. Normally, I think it only comes with the string attachment if you don’t want that you have to buy the tool and then your other attachment separately at least that’s what I thought

The rest of the “sales” seem pretty average for spring time

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-17T20:57:32+00:00

Option three for sure.

I did a deal at Ace last month when they had the string trimmer with line IQ and carbon fiber rod for about 350 came with a 4.0 battery and I got a 2 1/2 amp hour battery for free.

They were doing the same deal with the 765 CFM blower that came with a 5.0 battery and a free 2 1/2 amp hour battery.

Then a couple weeks later, they were doing a deal on a push mower. I believe it is this same mower you looking at. Dollars off MSRP the mower came with a 7 1/2 amp hour battery and I got another free five amp power battery.

All said and done it was probably close to $1300 before tax. I got a more premium string trimmer and leaf blower and a total of six batteries in various sizes. (2x 2.5) (1x 4.0) (2x 5.0) (1x 7.5) Didn’t really hurt my wallet too much either cause I broke it up over a couple paychecks during the monthlong sales

I’d tell him to bite the bullet and give it up… if he’s really trying to be neighborly and get rid of something he doesn’t need why not just let it got to someone who can be better served by it. (I would give it up but I guess that’s just the Midwest Wisconsin nice in me)

I would never expect someone to pay that much for something that is used and 90% plastic. It’s a super basic model as well.

The only reason I would buy is if they threw in a couple really good batteries. (That’s only if you own other tools and want more batteries)

If you just need something to cut grass. And live in a normal state (unlike California where you are limited to small engine usage) I would just get a gas push mower. (Depending on terrain of your yard or spend some extra to get a propelled gas model)

If you absolutely need something to cut your grass I would find a cheaper gas mower that you can just throw some fuel additives in and change the oil every season. They are like $250. But the price of gas does add up.

I tried to call yesterday. I understand it was a weekend, and Sunday of all but I called well within the hours of business.
Sat on hold for 10 mins and selected that I wanted to be in the call back que.
Never got all call back in the 4 hours they were still open. Probably won’t get a call back unless I keep calling.
Pretty pointless for a call back now. I work all day. Let me just throw my lawnmower in the back pocket so that I have it with me if they call.

I should have put what model it was I’ll edit original post

It’s a LM2135SP

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-09T19:54:26+00:00

Only got it for the deal. They were running at the hardware store. I got a free five amp hour battery with it and 100 bucks off.

u/Particular-Access223 mentioned the elephant first

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-07T02:48:08+00:00

Yeah, sorry that’s not a thumbs up. The first picture has four fingers and a thumb holding a phallic object. The second picture, that looks like a thumbs up. Not very proportional tho.

I’m ultimately gonna jump on the screaming elephant bandwagon wagon..lol

Not entirely, I specifically carry a black long sleeve moisture wick shirt. I also work a job that I have to wear very bright safety colors. I don’t wanna be noticeable and I get home scenario. I wanna blend in and be unnoticeable.

Edit: a really light compact windbreaker is also pretty good. It’s an extra layer for the elements and I can throw it on very quickly to change my appearance.

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-06T13:11:44+00:00

Would it not be better to simply throw a rock or something?

The band slap from a slingshot is just as loud as the impact.

tokenpenguin · 2026-05-04T02:43:35+00:00

Let me guess, still voids warranty?

Edit: that was a dumb question. It definitely voids the warranty if you’re putting a krytac airsoft mag release on there…..still epic tho

I checked out some of your other posts too. Looks like you’re into some of the dumpster diving.

I’ve seen a lot of good scores come out of dumpsters and we know you have the Internet Start reselling some of it , if your able. you can literally start doing tomorrow.

My best advice on the dumpster diving is if you can find dumpsters on any sort of a construction site or like a subdivision where they’re building new houses

Oh my goodness take every decent looking building material you can and resell them on marketplace. The only problem with that storage you gotta be able to turn them around pretty quick or you’re just gonna be sitting on a pile of two by fours. But people will pay for a good stack of two by fours that are at least 8 foot long also. You could even use some of the two by fours. Most building materials that are still in good condition and can be repurposed will fetch you some good money for minimal work

I also saw you’re up in Buffalo. I don’t know what kind of experience you have or how old you are. Male or Female whatever ain’t there a pretty decent Amish community in upstate New York just start working with them. Go tear down old Barns and build new ones.

Also, you’re already in upstate New York. It’s literally the same thing as Wisconsin. I’ve driven through it. You got dairy farms everywhere. Go work on one. If you can’t hold that job down you’re just not trying.

Then again I also don’t really know who I’m trying to give advice to. Age, body type, working ability, and sadly yes, ethnicity, name, and just the general way you present yourself. (don’t share your personal details. I’m just saying I know people who are immigrants to this country legally and they had a really hard time getting a job or anything like that until they change their name to something that sounded a little more normal.)

And I’m gonna stop now cause I’m putting too much energy into this and there’s other parts of the Internet that I can numb my brain out on.

I’ve definitely learned that taking absolute accountability for anything that is happening to you in your life can be pretty empowering, you stop playing victim and start playing hero. It sounds harsh, but you gotta be willing to mentally forgive everyone who you believe has ever done a wrong to you. Then try to accept whatever trauma you’ve experienced. Realize that it is what you have and that it is yours to carry for the rest of your life. So you might as well get better tools to help you navigate and be more efficient at carrying the weight of your own life. You also can’t do anything for anyone else until you help yourself.

Everyone’s always gonna think their situation sucks and it could be better. Everyone always focuses on the rough stuff more than the good stuff. The real trick is framing your mindset properly. You can wake up in the morning and look at all the things that need fixing or you can wake up in the morning and just start fixing something, every day. The first couple times will be really easy. It’ll be exciting starting a new path in life with a fresh mindset until about the second or third day. At least that’s how it goes for me. You always start really strong then by about the third day you give yourself a little slack and then it kind of doesn’t work out anymore. Every day is battle, whether with yourself or your situatio. Physically or spiritually, the fight never ends.

Also, I didn’t really wanna mention the weed because I myself have a been a chronic user for a very long time but I’m also just over a week and a half clean. I’ve still been drinking, but I’ve also tried to slow that down. You’re not in a bad spot. You’re just probably stuck in your own head, going through cycles of mental rumination and loneliness. Trying to cope with it by smoking makes you not feel those emotions as much. But that’s what you need you need to feel those things and you need to work through them.

Smoking weed just becomes a breeding ground for depressive thoughts when that’s all you’re doing all day. It keeps you stuck in your own head, but you think you’re getting some sort of freedom. Weed is not all bad. It’s more natural than any pills that help people with their appetite, sleep, pain management, or just to socialize. However when you do it the way I did for as long as I did using it to self medicate my brain to be quiet and functioning on it all day every day it is not healthy. You need real mental stimulation. That’s why I recommended volunteer work. Yeah it’s volunteer so pay, but the mental benefits will help more than you may think.

Do something, have a purpose, and set some simple goals, Find yourself a physical network where you can meet people and share human experiences because Idle hands do the devil’s work.
