Heavy duty
“heavy-duty” 2of 42 listings print it
What it names
Nothing measurable. The phrase appears on a zinc impact sprinkler and a titanium bypass pruner, and on both it describes the build without a figure attached.
Who defines it
No published definition found
Nobody. This site found no published definition behind the phrase as these listings use it. It is seller wording, and on both cards it is quoted as the seller’s words. The FTC’s policy statement asks that objective claims have a reasonable basis before they are made.
What it does not promise
The phrase does not state a load, a material grade, a test or a lifespan. A measured property would be reported through a published method such as ASTM E18 for hardness, and neither listing prints one.
The listings printing the phrase spell it with and without a hyphen. This page counts both spellings as the same phrase.
