My two cents is that Husqvarna is a brand that once was associated
with high quality european made products. Now it is going the Black
and Decker route--Black and Decker once was a respected brand, but the
company started producing junk that people bought only because the
associated B and D with quality. Now people have figured out that B
and D is now garbage. Same thing is happening to Husky IMO.
