Hopefully they might be alright then. I hate having stuff in the cupboard that I know is going to erode. Like the 250m of trimmer line (double core special stuff) I bought on clearance at bunnings for $20 - never mind I still have about 150m in smaller rolls already.
Then I looked in the fine print - says made by TTI Techtronic Industries - bugger.
On the Briggs note, I had to grab an edger blade today (different mower shop to the one mentioned above), and overhead a shop guy talking to the prospective buyer.
First the buyer asked if he had to mix oil and petrol like a Victa, to which the salesman responded ' No, and Victa 2 strokes are and always have been crap'
I was halfway over to state my opinion when it was questioned what the difference between briggs 450e and 550e was - the salesman replied one has 450 lb-ft of torque, and the other has 550 lb-ft.
Considering a 308ci Holden V8 makes only about 370 lb-ft, thats one powerful mower haha.
I turned around and walked away. No point trying.
