Harbor Freight - Gems and Junk

It has been said that the quality control leaves much to be desired, so I do my own while in the store. I will examine several examples of the tool I am considering buying in the store. I did this recently with their welding pliers.
I have to say, it would be tough for me to buy something from HF on line without checking it out.
Maybe I am just OCD about stuff, but I have come across tools with tolerance issues, but the one behind it was fine. I'll carefully open boxes, remove packaging - no employees have said anything to me about it.
