OT-My first Harborfreight rant
JR North wrote:
Invest some of the energy you dump into bitching, into fabbing a workable replacement.... From Scratch...... That's what I was thinking. Dweller in the cellar On Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:47:33 -0800, Wally wrote: I generally like Harborfreight. Most of what I've bought has been pretty low dollar stuff, like their 4.5" grinders. I think an excellent tool for the money and pretty much disposable. I don't cry when one finally dies or disappears. Much of the stuff is better quality than I feel I have any right to expect. I bought a Pacific Hydrostar pressure washer about a year ago on sale. I was looking for something small for car washing, etc. Turned out to be a really nice little washer and had this brush attachment that you screwed onto an adapter and plugged into the wand. The detergent automatically turned on and the brush spun and it worked very well. The adapter was kind of flimsy and broke after maybe 20 car washes. I checked and they were still selling the pressure washer, not a closeout thing. I found the manual and figured out the part I needed and called to order a couple of them. Two, maybe three inches long, black plastic, one piece. Couldn't be that expensive. The parts desk told me the factory wasn't supplying replacement parts for their machines. They sent me to customer service who told me the same thing. I was offered a new pressure washer, the same thing if I boxed up and sent the old one back with me paying the freight. That just wasn't tempting enough, to get a new machine I can't get parts for. Good money after bad. I've bought parts from them in the past, and while slow to arrive, the parts always showed up and were reasonably priced. Sooner or later anything with moving parts needs something replaced, I'm just glad I never bought one of their lathes or mills. And the next small pressure washer will probably be a Karcher. I see parts for those all over Google. -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes Doubt yourself, and the real world will eat you alive The world doesn't revolve around you, it revolves around me No skeletons in the closet; just decomposing corpses -------------------------------------------------------------- Dependence is Vulnerability: -------------------------------------------------------------- "Open the Pod Bay Doors please, Hal" "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.." |

Integraty and the pension fund raids
======== About half of pension sponsors have frozen plans By Jim Abrams Associated Press Writer / July 22, 2008 WASHINGTON—About half of employers with defined-benefit pension plans have frozen one or more of those plans, putting the retirement incomes of millions at risk, according to a government report made public Tuesday. snip "When companies freeze plans, older employees often experience huge benefit losses and younger workers are left to save for themselves," said Karen Friedman, policy director for the Pension Rights Center. snip Employers often freeze pension plans as a step toward terminating those plans and replacing them with defined-contribution plans such as 401(k) plans. The GAO survey of 471 single-employer defined-benefit plan sponsors found that nearly a third ultimately expect to terminate their largest frozen plan. snip to see complete article click on http://www.boston.com/news/nation/wa...--+Latest+news ============ Realization that the big three domestic automakers [GM, Ford Chrysler] are likely to default is begining to showup in the mainstream media. ------------------ "GM, Ford `On the Verge of Bankruptcy,' Altman Says (Update2) By Greg Miles and Caroline Salas July 22 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., the two biggest U.S. automakers, have about a 46 percent chance of default within five years, according to Edward Altman, a finance professor at New York University's Stern School of Business.

They were burning through cash, they'd been shorted naked and then had Kerkorian ( I think) plop down ten billion or so in fresh equity. There was real fear at the time that hedge funds, as an industry, would eat it big time and about a third or so went away. I believe I posted something about the situation at the time. Anyway.

I don't know what they used for plastic on the Harborfreight adapter, but I tried sleeving it with some stainless tubing. I couldn't get any glue to bond to it, it seemed like a polyethylene of some sort, so I tried pinning it and not long later the plastic broke in a new place. At that point I was disgusted and gave up. At least the new brush should fit whatever I get to replace the Harborfreight one when it finally dies. |
