well I have had mine 20 plus years
I throw it in the corner
I never drain the gas
I have never changed the plug
and some how that thing just keeps going and going and going....
so I have had my moneys worth out of it 10 x over.....
I have heard great things about strikemaster or whatever it is called, but I will reserve Judgment on them till someone I know has abused it for 20 years
