Just for starters.

Harbor Freight have HFT brand plugs for 3 bucks.

How is HFT as a company?

It is not so much how HFT (H-arbor F-reigh-T) might be, it is the brute fact that Harbor Freight is mostly an outlet for Chinese Junque, and _ANYTHING_ from that source is suspect.

This is not fair. I had my appendix out at Harbor Freight Hospital and
they did a real good job. Cute nurses too.

Wait. It was Harbor View Hospital. Sorry about that. That was a real
hospital in Batlimore until they sold the naming rights to Medstar,
maybe because too many people confused them with Harbor Freight.

And I still have my appendix.

I find Harbor Freight a very dangerous organization, as many of the tools they sell go from "new" to dangerous almost in a flash, with special attention to moving parts and anything gasoline driven or electrical. A neighbor purchased a 4,000 watt generator from them last spring for his truck - he is a high-end handyman. He reported that it blew up in less than 20 hours. HF took it back, but he then spent the money and purchased a small Generac unit. No more troubles.
