Bought one of their wrist-mounted blood pressure gizmos a month ago,
on sale for $12.99 I think, we're very happy with the device, it works
great once you learn how to mount it properly on your wrist. Other
small stuff I've purchased seems to be ok, not high quality, but great
for the price.

I'm careful about what I buy there but I sometimes will post a review.
Not so much to whine about how crappy it was but to share with others
how I adapted it to make it better. It saves them some aggravation and
I get some good ideas from other's reviews.

Some, but there were also a lot of complimentary reviews. Many reviews
said "junky, but for the price pretty good."

Looks like with that. You aren't going fast, and you're not going far.
Who cares if it's a 1 7/8 ball. I saw some guys move 1 7/8 hitch boats
around with a 2" ball on a fork lift. Just don't clamp the toggle
down. Low, slow, and not very far. Sounds like a waste of work to
replace the ball.

The disclaimer reads as follows:

Since the Harbor Freight site has a "Customer Reviews" tab right on

for reviews?

Now don't go all "conspiracy theory" on me and say that they don't
keep negative reviews, because they do.

I have a lot of stuff from HF. For my use, which is occasional, light duty
use, they work great, and I can afford them.

Some things from HF are absolute junk, some things are decent enough, and
some of it is darn good and a steal for the price.

The site you viewed is like the Stuccocompany and its reinvented
homeownershub sites. They steal the reviews from other sources, in this
case,.the HF site and repost them.
The idea is to drum up sponsors for the thieving site.
It's way out of date anyway. They must not have the web search bot that
the aforementioned SC and HOH sites have so they have to search the
site by hand to find new reviews. I know because they don't have a
review I posted to HF over a month ago.

Now don't go all "conspiracy theory" on me and say that they don't

It's nice to have a web site that's not affiliated. So they don't pick
and choose the reviews. And delete the bad ones. Or, delete "some" of
the worst of the bad ones.

I'll admit, I've never posted a review on the HF site. Don't even have

I bought a bunch of things and have never been disappointed that I
remember. I bought one of the 4x8 trailers for 200 or 250, had it
delivered to my brother's in Texas, assembled it there, and drove back
with some of my old furniture on it. Worked fine, still have it, but
have not much need for it. Oh yeah, the wiring to the lights was
complete, but very flimsy, and the clips that clipped it to the frame
didn't work well, and the wires dropped out and got cut. I bought a
new harness, from them, packaged seaprately. . I should tape it on or
better yet drlll holes and use wire holders. Maybe I will.

I've got the same trailer with the same shortcoming- and I'm not
disappointed. [I've also been pondering for years where I'll move
that license holder to]

If I had paid $1000 for it, or if it had major mechanical problems,
I'd be disappointed. But for $250- it is the cat's nuts.

"...where I'll move that license holder to"

I bought a very similar trailer from Wal-Mart many, many years ago. It
was the last one they had, the box was all beat up, so I negotiated a
bit and got it for under $200. I added some nice wooden walls and sold
it for $250 after a *lot* of use over a 5 year period.

If your plate holder is the same as mine was - a cheap piece of
plastic attached to the brake light - here's what I did:

I screwed the plate directly to the back wall. Since I always used the
trailer with the "box" on, the plate was always with the trailer.

As far as "disappointed" with the wiring, yes, I was. It's easy to
rationalize it based on the cost, but I was still "disappointed" when
the wiring failed soon after I started using the trailer. I rewired it
and put the wires in plastic tubing tie-wraped to the frame and never
had another problem.

I use one of these so I can move my trailer around wherever I am.

I participate in activities where small enclosed trailers are the
norm. I always wonder why everyone doesn't replace their flat bottomed
tongue supports with the wheeled kind like the one above. They're
always struggling to move their trailers and are always asking for
help lifting the tongue, while I just roll mine around with ease.

Of course, I also wonder why everyone doesn't have an E-ZPass. Did you
know that some states have 65MPH E-ZPass lanes? Man, those are sweet!

I use it all the time to move my 5' X 10' utility trailer and my 17'
boat trailer. It's been extremely useful for me.

And like that other reviewer noted, I have seepage from the tires. You
just have to remember to give the tires a squeeze every now and then and
pump them back up if they've gotten soft. But, hey... I have the same
situation with my hand truck (dolly) that I use for moving furniture and
boxes. Not a big deal.

I actually have one of those on my boat trailer. While it works pretty
well on pavement and concrete, it's not so hot on gravel, which is what
my driveway is. The problem is the wheel digs in.

The larger wheels on the trailer dolly don't have that problem.

I don't believe they're copying them either. I looked just now for that
trailer dolly review I posted on the actual HF site and it wasn't there.

The review is viewable on HF's website, so I know it got published.

If you have used a Harbor Freight item or considering buying one.
Write a reveiew, or read what others say. Might help others, or save
yourself some grief. I'm not the webmaster, and I didn't come up with
the idea.

Long ago I discovered that when I buy something of good quality, it only
hurts
one time - when I pay for it.

When I buy something cheap of poor quality, it hurts EVERY time I use it.

I'm careful about what I buy there but I sometimes will post a review.
Not so much to whine about how crappy it was but to share with others
how I adapted it to make it better. It saves them some aggravation
and
I get some good ideas from other's reviews.

Here's one I wrote:

Hey I like that, I have a hand truck, I think I'll weld up a little
adapter to
clamp on my hand truck to move my trailer!

-I participate in activities where small enclosed trailers are the
-norm. I always wonder why everyone doesn't replace their flat bottomed
-tongue supports with the wheeled kind like the one above. They're
-always struggling to move their trailers and are always asking for
-help lifting the tongue, while I just roll mine around with ease.

Ya, I have one of those but it doesn't roll very well thru the yard.

Of course, I also wonder why everyone doesn't have an E-ZPass. Did you
know that some states have 65MPH E-ZPass lanes? Man, those are sweet!

You mean for toll roads? There's one near here but I have little use for
it.

OK, let me rephrase:

"I also wonder why anyone that ever drives on a toll road doesn't have
an E-ZPass."

Some people prefer not being digitally tracked.

Of course, the toll transponders can be put under bridges, on bank
drive through lanes, drive up restaurants. Any where they want to
track people.

Right...those hundreds of cars that I blow by at the toll booths are
all worried about be tracked.

Like their pictures aren't be taken at every the toll booth anyway -
digitally.

Unless meta-data is assigned to the picture by OCR'ing the license tag
in realtime, or a human punching it in, all they have is a virtual pile
of pictures. A transponder hit, OTOH, is in the data set basically
instantly. Raw video ain't worth much without the robot AI or humans to
look at it, and the time to do so.

I'm actually surprised license tags don't have 2d barcodes yet, like
they have had in sci-fi movies and TV for 20 years. They have gotten
really, really good with reading those at a distance, and they cost a
fraction of what even an entry-level transponder does.
