4. I don't have any WORX, but....

What I consider when buying something like that is how much I'm going to realistically use it. I bought a Greenworks blower on clearance a few years ago. It's rechargeable, and for me it works great. Blowers are great, but I knew it wasn't going to be something I would use a whole lot. I use it to blow out my garage because it's faster than sweeping, and I use it to clean up leaves on my driveway.

So, I don't know, but it will probably work just fine.

Personally, I don't have to have upper-end tools. My weed eater is a Dewalt, and it was pricey. I like it because it's rechargeable, but I've also got a little cheapie corded one that I use sometimes in really tight places, and it works fine too. It's just not as convenient.

My jigsaw is an extremely cheap Black and Decker that I got on clearance for around $10. I've used the hell out of it, and it just keeps on going. I know that people who are into tools think that brand is a joke, but I'm sure not unhappy with it.

If I was made of money I probably would have bought Milwaukee everything because my son gave me a Milwaukee drill a few years ago and it would have been nice to interchange the batteries, but that brand is just too expensive for me. So I've got this and that.
