Yeah, that deliberate pacing really got me too.

Lily_black44 is right, those copycat pages are brutal so I always google the real site myself.

Man, that's a huge letdown for that kind of money. What brand did you end up with? I had a similar experience with a cordless brad nailer that just couldn't handle real job site use. It's so frustrating when the specs don't match up to actual work. I've heard the top-end pro models are the only ones that can really keep up all day, but they cost a fortune.

Purple carrots are cool but seeds from Australia might not even sprout here. Local swaps give you stuff proven to work in your dirt. You can't replace seeing a plant grown in your own town.

Woah, that's a solid point. I always just assumed it was like the 1920s for some reason. You looking it up and finding the real 1908 date actually changes how I think about it. That's way earlier than I pictured, it feels almost medieval even though it's not. Makes you realize how easy it is to carry around a totally wrong fact in your head.
