| 1338760 | 2013-04-30 23:00:00 | My dragon bought on the spur of the moment a Nationalist Chinese chainsaw from Mega Mitre 10 in Henderson. My stilhl had died. Her plan was me for to cut down some trees shading the house and because I had no saw I put it in the too hard basket. Well it never did one tank of full before the throttle linkage came off. I fixed that and modified it so it wouldn't happen again. Then it wouldn't start no spark tried a few spark plugs. To their credit they sent the saw to lawn mower place in Glen Eden. Waited 3 months for a replacement coil I didnt care because I didnt have to cut any more trees for the dragon. Next fire up about second tank of fuel the chain brake goes on stays on a lever has broken off. Wait another month for repair get it back noticed ithe chain oiler was not working took it back. Mega suggested a full refund sweet bought a few boxes of piss with the money and gave whats left to the missus. So it had a good ending. Bought a secondhand Stilh from TM from a farmer in the back blocks of the Waikato. It runs like a dream its a beautiful thing I just like firing it up for no reason at all its just beautiful and runs like a Swiss clock even though its German. |

The Homelite didn't last 5 hours but after an easy repair to the Partner (IIRC it was just a broken spring) it's still going. And it's over 20 years old. |

| 1338762 | 2013-04-30 23:26:00 | Why have we built a society where everybody expects to be spoon fed? :confused: Why do we expect a salesperson at a retail shop to know everything from mixing special purpose paint, to lawnmower engineering? :confused: After all, we don’t expect the “Checkout Chick” at Countdown to be able to rattle off all their gluten free products do we? It frustrates me that when someone stuffs up these days it is always someone else’s fault. A while ago now my mother-in-law went to buy some 2 stroke for her lawnmower and the garage refused to mix it. Anyway, I got onto them about it but the manager explained that because a number of 2 stroke motors run on different mixes these days, and so few customers know what exactly they want, they have pulled the service altogether because they were getting blamed for the problems when someone put the 80:1 chainsaw mix in the 25:1 mower. However, I do like Bunning’s way of operating. They seem to have an abundance of ex tradespeople that are helpful plus having a basic layout at all their stores, including Australia, which makes for easy shopping. So it’s Bunning’s for me if they have shop within a reasonable distance. :thumbs: |

| 1338763 | 2013-04-30 23:27:00 | I know a person who bought a Lava Lamp from a Mega Mitre 10 store and after a few years the bulb blew. They went back to the store although a different branch and got a replacement bulb. Took it home and put it in and the lamp only lasted a few minutes before it blew up. The salesperson had sold them the wrong bulb. :) Amazing |
