The tool isn't in the Summer/Fall 94 Harbor Freight Tools Catalog, or I'd
have given that source before JCW. I agree JCW has occasionally been on
the verge of collapse. However, the problems I've heard of were from
before the days of credit cards, back when you sent them a check and they
waited for it to clear before sending the order. Perhaps one can have a
measure of protection if one orders by phone and charges to a credit card.
I believe one can refuse to pay the charge if the order does not come.
Any lawyers here?
