…to a reasonable degree, at least.

    We needed a router for one job. My boss got a router from Harbor Freight. Burned through the brushes halfway through (same day). Swapped brushes. Finished the job.

    His alternate plan (if we burned through the second set): return it as dysfunctional. As it would be same day, replacement would be natural.

    I think he ended up taking it back for a refund after the job was done.

      I bought a cylinder head pressure gauge from HF and took it home, didn’t work at all. When I looked at it closely I could see that it was completely missing the core valve that is supposed to be in the bottom. It was just a hole instead of a valve. Took it back for a refund next day.
