Harbor Freight gets million dollar fine
Fine My rule has been that anything more complex than a screwdriver or combo wrench is not safe to buy from HF. Their power tools are certainly junk.

What a crock for the gov't to do this. Was the kit sold as a "Full, everything needed, covers all trailers" lighting kit? If not,then it's a crock.
What about center clearance lights for wide trailers? What about the front amber clearance lights, or the top clearance lights for tall trailers? What if the trailer that the buyer of these lights were going on was planning to use separate side marker lights?
For commercial users that will be using a tool daily, spend the bigger bucks; for most other occasional users, HF tools are fine. I do all of my own maintenance on my vehicles, my toys (ATVs, Jet Skis, M/Cs, trailers) as well as around the house. I have quite a few HF tools, as well as more expensive tools. Coincidentally, I've yet to break a HF hand tool, but I have certainly broken Craftsman. Look any tool over before purchase; sometimes the fit & finish is not up to par; so pass on it. Otherwise, as long as you don't expect it to last through heavy daily use, HF tools are sufficient in most cases. Yes, you get what you pay for. As someone else said, you don't always need a Lincoln Town Car; sometimes a Ford Focus is more than sufficient for the job at hand.
