Haha, im sure my insurance agent will find the video after my recently fully covered truck was exploded by hoodlums.

On the tool subject... I got a pressure washer from Harbor freight about a year ago for 250 bucks. To be honest I thought it was going to grenade the cheap little engine within 10 hours of service but never did. I gave it a good heat cycle break in and religiously changed the oil and the thing has never let me down. Up until 6 months ago when I lost my access to a garden hose I was constantly washing everything with it.

The pump will fail before the engine. I go to the HF main headquarters in Camarillo Ca. every day and pressure washers are the most returned item. Some are returned because the customer just wanted it for a single job and then get their money back, but they junk hundreds of those things.

Anything I have bought from HF has broken on first use.

All the tools that I have bought, besides some HF junk, are Craftsman. I have a small scattering of other brands, but, I got those from my dad.

I've had very good luck with Craftsman and anything that hasn't stood up (which hasn't been much) I've returned and gotten new with no questions asked. I can't complain.
