This blender is constructed with all new components.  The engine, the blender itself, everything is purchased new prior to construction.  The frame and supporting structure is made from stainless-steel.  It's very rigid and solidly built.  The base is 13.5" wide by 12" deep, and the entire unit is 26" in height with the glass pitcher in place..

The blender unit is an actual single-speed Oster Classic electric blender, which comes with a glass pitcher.  We could have skimped by with a cheaper blender with a plastic pitcher, but, hey, we make these for ourselves, too.  So use only the best part available on all blenders.  The blender is permanently mounted atop the weed-eater engine, and supported by an extremely rigid structure constructed with stainless-steel.  What's that you say?  Run out of fuel?  The blender's original power cord remains intact so you can keep the party going.  But, once you see this weed-eater blender in action, you won't want to use the electricity. 

The engine we use in the construction of this blender is a high-end two-stroke weed-eater engine, with an automatic clutch such that the blender's blades remain motionless with the engine at idle.  This allows refilling of the pitcher without requiring a stop and restart of the engine.  Simply refill the pitcher with your favorite goodies and hit the throttle!  A few seconds later, instant margaritas, or whatever you're making!  No hassles!  No waiting!  Party-on Garth!
