HARBOR FREIGHT SALVAGE was the one and only original name of that company.
They made a lot of money selling $4.95 socket sets with ratchets. IMHO most of their stuff then can be compared to the worst of what they have today. They also sold drill presses for $49.99 I bought one. It wasn't anything to brag about, it got the job done.
Go into a supermarket and you need to cherry-pick what you buy. Off-Brand canned products can be so poor they get opened, sampled and go into the trash. Home Depot sells receptacles made so poorly that it is almost a joke. Same with wall paneling. I've purchased many name-brand seeds that did not sprout. None in several hundred is a pretty sad ratio. I just got through installing a pair of HELLA genuine 9004 headlamp bulbs in my car. One lasted four hours and both the high and low beam failed. No dammit, I did not touch the bulb with my bare hands.
I purchased a DACK & BLECKER (this is my official name for them) half-inch drill. It was not nearly as powerful as their cheaper 3/8" drill. I turned it in for warranty. They refused. Their answer. "This drill is not intended for heavy-duty service". B&D has lost a customer for life. What do they think I am? Stupid?
