I have had my Provari bout a month and a 1/2 now. I am a electrician, and I work with tools. I have not had this mod all that long, but I have put it through its paces. This thing has been riding in my tool belt the whole time, and has not failed. I spend alot of time in ditches (with my Provari), and the other day I had a service on a house that "HAD TO BE DONE". I spent 8 hours of a "RAINY" 10 hour day in this 5ft ditch running 175ft of wire in pipe to the house from the service with the Provari in my pocket. When I got home my long johns were just as brown as the other 2 layers of clothing surrounding them. 4 cartos later (3 failed) the Provari kept kicking. I was soaked in mud, the Provari soaked in mud, and my tool (provari) kept going. As a former Green Beret, and Electrician. I say buy the tools to get the job done. Provape stand tall and proud, you make a great tool!!!!!!! Now I am guessing my warranty might be out the window now, but I dont give a u know what!!!!! I wish I would have bought one of these sooner. These PV'S are like the FORD truck of the PV world, "built strong, built tuff". Provape as a man that has been in war, hard work, and general craziness. Take your hats off, and salute what you do!!!!!!! Thanks for giving me a PV that lives my life style. Anyone out there wondering what to buy, just go ahead and get the damn thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not BS's anyone out there, this thing works, and it's strong!!!!!!!!!! go for it!!!!!!!
