    Post

    Hello,

    I am purchasing a patternless edger and I am thinking about going with the Gerber Kappa. Does anybody have any feed back about the machine. reliability, service, ease of use, etc.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Kappa

    I've used the Kappa and really liked it. Very acurate and reliable.

    Hello,

    Just noticed the post. I did buy the kappa and had it for 7 years and just sold it and bought a new kappa.

    Wow! How cool is that!

    Where have you been in the last 8 years? And why are you not posting more?

    Probably stopped posting because no one responded to his inquiry in 2000. Poor guy Bryan has had that e-mail elert on all this time, waiting for his answer.;)

    Otherwise, as Fezz would say, this is creepy!!

    Er..Chris, if you look back on anyones previous posts, the number of posts changes to reflect the current total. Check one of yours back to November or so, and it will show your total from today.

    A little to early to get the CIA or FBI involved in this one.;)

    100,000 cuts later

    By the time we responded to bryan's post, he already wore out the edger and bought a new one! Hilarious.:bbg: And maybe a little sad.:o.

    The Kappa was a better investment than the stock market over the last nine years.:shiner:
