I am glad you took it back and that you got a much better, if not perfect, unit. :beer:

This could change things - The Harbor Freight boxes are nice - but I have heard of some having QC issues. Not a problem here, just take back the defective unit and get another. If you are out of the US with no easy access to return/exchange, you may be better off going with a more expensive...

I agree 100%. Mine also has none of these issues. If it did, I would take it back.

Really???

Agree with this 100%.

Nice start! Thanks for sharing!

The composite ratchets are surprisingly good, IMO

Pretty much the same. The drawer pulls are different -(the 44 has a slot and provides inserts and plastic covers to write what is in the drawer) but both are nice. The side handles are different but both nice. The 26" casters are probably a step down from the 44", but I don't move either...

No help on the paint code here, but I bought one too, and have a question - There were 2 extra bolts in the handle hardware package - did yours have them and did you figure out what they were for? I thought maybe to put in the holes on the side without the handle, but was not sure...

The old lady across the street gave me that box on the left when she moved. It is just taking up space in my garage. Not very usable.

Got the 44" HF at the tent sale. Unloaded from my truck myself. Just used some old 1/12 x2 shelving that was reinforced/held together by 2x4s as a ramp. Placed some concrete blocks under it to give it strength. Slid it down and that was that. Only complaint I have is I would like to have a...

Yeah. Kind of lax. I was surprised he bothered to climb under the crawl space if he wasn't going to enforce it anyway. WTF?

I guess he thinks it it lux

They will work, either as a single outlet protection or will work if you split the neutrals. I can't split the neutrals. As I understand it, you can not share the neutral downstream from the GFCI as the GFCI would see the current on the neutral but not on the hot and trip.

Yeah, good advice, but not really practical for me - the black doesn't have enough slack for me to cut and pigtail in to, it just runs through the boxes. And in my case, the receptacles were always on red.

Could have been stolen months ago, and still showed in system....not that it is a **** move anyway even if not 60% off.

Thanks mate. Appreciate your thoughts. No one wants to think they are a hack! :beer:

Just want to say kudos to pattenp (and the others that we all know) for being such a good resource on GJ.

I think you are right. I found directions for doing it if you split the neutrals after the GFCI but I can't do that.

I did wire each up separately, and they work fine. Originally, I spent a lot of time trying to get them working off one GFCI, but gave up and put in the individual GFCIs. But it has bothered me ever since. Then I read a home inspector on another forum said that multiple GFCIs in the kitchen...
