Warning: Don't let clients mess with your Stihl line trimmers on site

Had a nightmare job last week where the client insisted on 'helping' with edging the beds, grabbed my Stihl FS 56 and bent the shaft trying to force it through some overgrown shrubs. Cost me $250 to replace the damn thing, and now they're bitching about the bill. PSA to all you greenhorns: set boundaries early or you'll be footing the bill for their DIY disasters.

Damn, that sucks man, lost a $180 Echo blower last month to a 'helpful' homeowner who thought revving it dry was fine.
