I don't have 2 cycle engines, but we can't keep that stuff on the shelves!

Never sold any.  None of our customers want it.  I guess it's regional or something.

Yes and no. If I'm in a hurry , yes. If i have the time to mix it myself than no, because I end up saving about 20% of the price.

Well, if you don't like all of the Ethanol mixed in with the California gas, pre-mixed is a good way to go...

At $20/gallon its a luxury but I left a couple cans at the cottage that were "2 for 1" through Craftsman Club. The chainsaw liked it.

I love it. No mess. Really easy. Transportable.

$20 a gallon? Even at 20% more you've got to be kidding. If money means that little to you, you can afford to hire someone to do whatever you need done.

And that leads me to ask: Why are you shopping at Sears, all your purchases shoud be done at Tiffany's

Mix it myself, cheaper that way....I only have an older snowblower that is 2 cycle.  That will change by next season

Hey Jeeper, I got one of those old 2-strokes too for the light stuff....keep an eye on the breather hole in the gas cap, that side mount design loves to get plugged with ice to take the rest of winter off.

Edited: Did you notice the snow shovel Forever Warranty's fine print.... on the sticker under the handle?

Customers love the convenience of having it pre-mixed and the peace of mind knowing it's mixed correctly.

Ya, let me tell you about my shovel.....The very last time I was shoveling snow last year it busted on me.  The metal had split apart from the shovel.  Last seasons model I do not think the foam handle was there, atleast not on mine.  Anyways, I went to take it back and Sears was no longer stocking them.  In the shed it went for a whole summer.  I just so happened I went to the Sears hardware store with it the day they were putting them out a couple of weeks ago.  The associate took it back no problems but she goes we haven't sold any yet this year.  I smiled.  I like to play in the snow too but if gets to be much I call in the truck.  It gets the family good bonding time if we are all out there together and sometimes it gets me some good peace and quiet!!!!

Good advice though I have not had a problem yet, knocks on wood.  Thank you.
