Apparently your friend has some sort of mental health issue that enables him to work for a corporation whose products he detests so much that he tells people not to buy them.. but doesn't have any issues taking the money from people who do buy the products that pay his wages.My friend that works for harbor freight corporate has always told me of the catastrophic failures their electrical tools have as they often see when they tour the R&D labs... and that I should never buy them, ever.

I'd be inclined to apply a bit more critical thought to how I choose my friends.
I wonder why they didn't show the "Shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express" test or the "Run it over with an Abrahms Tank" test?

But, you get what you pay for with Power Fist stuff. Go Pro Point, it'll last longer.

It's $50 at regular price. Usually 35.99 when on sale, which is often.
Having no context to the "after approximately 5 minutes it's like this" at the beginning, I don't know what happened to the unit.
That being said, why not just return it, rather than destroy it?

Wait, they chose *Powerfist* as the name for their tools? LMFAO!!!!
They probably returned it after they destroyed it.
