The adjustable handle is cheap and is already moving and won't stay locked

Liked the Worx so much we purchased a second WG170 Trimmer and Edger! Extremely light weight and easy to use. We have one set-up for trimming and the other set-up for edging. Batteries last 20 to 30 minutes which is great for a small yard. Lifetime string spools is a plus! Easily adjustable. The only item that could be improved is the string cutter blade... Not very durable. Had to order a replacement guard to replace the cutting blade as it had broken off at some point during use. Would highly recommend!
Was able to use this trimmer a handful of times before the cap that keeps the string in fell off somewhere and I spent 3 days searching for it, and I'm wondering if it literally disintegrated. Now this thing is useless/just another chore for me to fix/deal with and I hate it
