I remember back in the day the Hunter GSP 9700 machines were still early and I was working at BMW. They sent me and a couple guys to a two week (yes, 2 weeks/6-7+hr days!) training course to use these machines. They also introduced us to the new and great Hunter alignment machines on the last...
We just got a Vevor pump cart (cart with a water tank on it with a battery operated pump to water flowers.) It only lasted less then a week before the pump died completely and one of the tires spring a permanent leak :/
I've gotten hundreds of pounds of suspension parts, brake rotors, calipers parts etc shipped here from RA across the border and not had any major issues with packing yet that I can recall over the years. The box for the links etc for my TJ front end came a lil beat up but everything was inside...
I have had good luck with McGard. I broke a lock nut from them and the service was exceptional, they Purolated me another lock key and a bag for them even.

I just picked up an Ariens Razor walk behind (RWD 163cc), but thinking of selling it as our backyard has to many things to go around and tons of forward/reverse seems to be a pita with walk behinds :/ Unfortunately its overkill for our yard.
It doesn't burn oil thankfully yet. Good to hear they can be long lasting, I wasn't consulted when she bought it and may have picked something different for her, but she seems to like it and its paid off. :)
