Here in Europe, Gardena products are expensive cult items. I used to
figure that for that money, they are probably at least first rate quality.
But I've come to change my mind on that.

I mean, the basic premise is that they're going to cleverly use plastic to
solve old problems in new ways.

Unfortunately, plastic breaks. Especially for garden tools, which are
exposed to UV radiation.

Sprayer heads last maybe 3 seasons. We bought an expensive Gardena brush
to wash the car - but after 3 seasons, the soap gizmo broke, making the
whole thing worthless.

Okay, nobody makes anything in brass anymore (usually). But if it's going
to be in plastic, cheap should be cheap.

But that didn't have anything to do with your question.

It sounds like an awful lot of Lithium.
