Yes, I'm aware this is an ancient thread, but thought I'd ask whether other Harbor Freight customers are still having trouble getting reviews posted.
When I tried to post my last two reviews, several months apart, after pushing the "submit" button, I got a message that said something like "We encountered an issue with your review, and are working to solve the problem." Using the back arrow on the browser returned me to the product page, but of course everything I'd written had disappeared.
So, for the record, here are summary versions:
--double flare tool kit, used on 3/16" brake lines. First flaring die bent. Returned kit to HF and second die broke on first use. Bought better dies online, but still having problems because the threaded holes in the tool to hold the brake line aren't at right angles to the surface. Verdict: 1.5 stars.
--steel shop car with three shelves. The nuts and bolts are **** quality and too small, and mine were an interesting mix of SAE and metric sizes. Instead of mounting holes in the steel components, there are mounting slots (presumably to allow for stamping errors -- GM used to design its cars the same way), so after a while the bolts will all start to loosen and the cart will take on the rigidity of Jell-O. However, the wheels are much higher quality than you'd expect, the stampings and holes are correct (it doesn't NEED slots), and the paint is good. Verdict: 3.5 stars.
My problem is that every time I write a review of an HF tool, I forget that mine never get accepted. The joys of age ... (Also, just for the record, Home Depot ALWAYS rejects my reviews -- even the good ones.)
