Harbor Freight has allowed me to do many jobs for 1/4 the price, I know the tools are cheaply designed and made, as long as I get one or two jobs out of them I'm O.K. with that, whenever I notice a tool failing I take it apart and discard it so no one else gets hurt if they find it in my scrap metal bin .
Don't care if a one time use tool breaks its when one can really hurt/kill you that concerns me. Especially when the manufacturer doesn't want it known.
