Echo specifically, I used to rent out to people at Home Depot rentals for 5.5-8years and only once, had any problems with any of it that I'd attribute specifically to the machine/manufacture itself, I couldn't keep a piston in this particular chainsaw. Every piston you put in, it would destroy it.
Now, in rental terms, just too many people that don't know what they're doing, using the equipment. Running chainsaws with the brake on, destroying clutch springs. Slamming brush-cutter blades against trees and rocks. Just basically treating things like they stole it. etc. Anything else with this equipment comes down to regular maintenance. 20 seconds with a philips screwdriver at day per piece of equipment is enough to keep them from falling apart. Ain't ot 20 seconds to spare? Use locktite.
I can't speak for the other brands you mentioned, but most of this stuff, the only thing I can imagine going bad on a regular basis due to poor materials would be spark plugs and diapram pumps in carbuetors. verything else, if lubricated and proper fuel mix used, should run **** near for ever.
Sure, i'm not a profesional grounds-keeping, etc person, so maybe I don't understand.
A screw is a screw, so if there's a piece of equipment that has screws, etc loosen, it's prolly because it vibrates a little too much. Use loctite. Take it service and have them balance it under waranty.
