Harbor Freight doesn’t have the same implications of direct culpability; it’s more of just a symptom; but it’s branding practices always remind me of the subdivision developers’ “cut down the trees; name the streets after them” or the US Army’s “Pacify a tribe; name an attack helicopter after it” conventions.
If there’s a former locus of American heavy industry that got outsourced into the rust belt; Harbor Freight probably has a line of Chinese tools named after it.

Agreed. I get clamps there. And they’re also a great source for small, strong magnets for all kinds of projects. When I was all into making hidden compartments, I loved their disc-shaped magnets. Just get the right size drill bit to set it into a frame or trim piece and, voila, pull off cover.

So they got the dimensions right, except time? Three out of four isn’t bad.
