Bruce...The local Harbor Freight stores here in Rochester guarantee ALL
their hand tools for life now.  Just bring it in and they replace it
right off the shelf.  Not sure if all the outlets do that or not.

Already tried it out that with a mag-lite look-alike flashlight I got
for a friend who proceeded to run over it with her car...no exterior
damage, but the switch became intermittent.  They replaced it at the
store on the spot, no questions asked, no receipt needed (even though I
dug it up and had it in my pocket). The clerk even took the replacement
flashlight out of the package, and installed batteries to test it (it
didn't come with them) and let me have the batteries as well!

I've been using their tools for years...we used to supply the mechanics
at Pennwalt with them (trying to keep it cheap, knowing they would
eventually find their way out of the plant).  I have even more faith
now, as I just bought a set of wood chisels (for $6) to install 15 doors
(hinges, latch plates, striker plates, etc) in a friends house (not the
same one who ran over the flashlight <G>).  I started with a Stanley
chisel I already had, but had to sharpen it after two doors.  The CCC
(Cheap Chinese Chisels) performed perfectly for the rest of the 15
doors, never needed re-sharpening, and are still sharp enough to shave
with!

Harbor Freight must be getting more popular, as I recently found a US
source for replacement parts (not Harbor Freight) for their power
tools...having had to replace the drive built on my lathe.
