Barring anyone else being involved, hard to determine from a layman's view, how and or what did the dealer do to determine the cause of the failure, can they explain ?
I had it happen to an echo string trimmer, for no apparent reason, few years in service, and like most, I am respectful of these tools, do my best to take care of them and use them wisely, they sure are a work saver considering what folks had to use say 100 years ago LOL !!!
