FAQ
The Hedge Hawg is made to last. All components are made of Rust Resistant materials that are either Aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel and tough Neopreme and Nylon. All nuts are nylock so they don't come loose. The Hedge Hawg should last decades and is rebuildable. Even the belt is military grade. Good materials cost more. Sure we could have made it from plastic but you'd be throwing it away and buying new ones every year. Most of the expense however, is due to product liability insurance, you can thank the lawyers for that.
