And I'll bet the Chinese replacement was a real top of the line item.
They will never match the quality and the durability of a Walker or a
Grey jack.
Harbor Freight has nothing that I would desire to have.
It's all pretty much "use it once and throw it away" type items, similar
to a cheap suit.

 For one of my items that I needed the bearings and seals for I ordered
a kit at about 1/2 the price. For the other item I went to harbor
freight and bought the Chinese replacement. The replacement was only ten
bucks more than a bearing and two seals.
