you think you will get a ribbing just for buying harbor freight? you would have to get in line 'cause they sell a lot of that stuff. i have never had one but a friend of mine bought one of their pancake air comp and with a extension cord it wouldn't even kick on. my pancake did fine. he limped along with it for a while. personally i like to not get in a hurry and buy "good used", not wore out though. i likey me bargans so that's a good compromise for me. sorry to hear about the bad luck. i have seen the posts about harbor freight stuff on here that was left in rain, drug to heck and back and outlasted everything else, mabey your next one will be like that. i personally have never seen any of those tools, they are prob used a lot by the abom snowman and locke ness monster. hr
