I have had an equal number of high performers and low performers. The low performers were never about the cells. The low performers were always a failure in the case. That’s just my experience, and that experience causes me to look for reviews. I just don't trust most e-commerce user reviews these days. Amazon has never addressed their fake and manipulated review issues, and it's bled over into a lot of other platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Any time I find a yellowjacket nest, I upend a quart of Acetone on it right after dark. There are usually only a couple of stragglers the next morning that didn't make it back into the nest the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Usually I apply a trick an older guy once showed me. Roll up some newspaper and light it and hold the “torch” up between me and the nest. With my other hand, throw a handful of flour across the flames at the nest. There is absolutely nothing left of the nest or critters. This time we opted not for the drama but for wasp spray. Not nearly as exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t go through their platform, and look at reasons for returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I went to Harbor Freight and then to AutoZone today looking for a whisk broom. Employees at both places were about 18-20 yo and neither knew what I was talking about and after checking with their managers, neither place carried them. I guess I’m just old school?

Mark J Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Coop, I would think that was more of a grocery/drug store item (if you wanted to avoid Target/Walmart). But still, you'd expect someone to know what a wisk broom was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I keep one in each door of my truck so I can get to it from either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I just bought a new one from home depot, and have seen them at the grocery store. I wouldn't expect an autoparts store to carry them either way. I think I've also seen them listed as a "pan broom", which could have contributed to the confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I've never heard of a whisk broom.... Sounds like a cooking utensil, to gt the batter of your whisk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also from a part of the country where the predecessor to a "weedeater" was called a "sling blade". Google found "whisk broom", but only thought "sling blade" was a movie. Google recognizes "swing blade": https://www.lowes.com/pd/Tru-Tough-Long-Handle-Tool-Weeder/3060035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
