Don’t shoot your lawnmower!

This charming gentleman is Keith Walendowski. Recently, he had a bit of trouble starting his gas powered lawn mower. So, he dealt with the problem as anyone else would – he blasted his Lawn Boy with a shotgun. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle, plus disorderly conduct while armed. He tried reasoning with the arresting officer: “I can do that, it’s my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want.”

If you’re frustrated with your mower, or having trouble cranking the ignition, there’s no need to blast a cap into it. Instead, why not switch over to a lawnmower without a pull cord? Our reel mowers are a lot less stressful than Lawn Boys. Plus, they’re cleaner, quieter, lighter, and easier to maintain too.

While Mr. Walendowski is in prison, I hope he doesn’t get assigned to the prison landscaping crew!
