Now how hard would it be to put an electric start on these things? I think the guys who design these things have no idea how many women are out there trying to pull start this equipment and don't have enough arm strength to do it.

Then there are the idiots in the tire shop that put your lugnuts on so tight that you have to carry 3 foot pipe to get enough leverage to loosen them (as you are stuck on the side of the highway trying to change a flat).

I'm very strong (for a woman) and I don't know what other woman do to get their lawn mowers and weed wackers started. (I guess they turn off the baseball game)

Something tells me the Ryobi is out of my price range, but agree on the weed-eaters with the primer bulb, although I only have to usually push the primer bulb about 4 times. Seems to flood easily otherwise.

My biggest problem is remembering to flip the switch from "off" to "on". LOL!
