obvious factory defect

I have had to replace these knobs several times. I have a feeling I'll be buying more in the future, but not because I want to

I bought this well aware that it cannot possibly be a high quality item at that price. If it is flimsy, cheap looking, plasto-plastic, I am OK with that.
But what I absolutely hate is when there is a manufacturing defect in the product, a defect that screams "carelessness".

In this case, as one other 1 star reviewer already mentioned - there are no pocket holes in corners where the metal bars that hold the lightbox open should be inserted. It does not take a nuclear scientist to figure that one out. There is a piece of material there, and instead of it being sewn in on three sides, like letter "U", and open on one where the rod is supposed to enter it, it is sewn like letter "C" which makes it useless.

Someone in that sweatshop in China said to their workers: "Here we need to leave one side open"

And the workers did just that, once again illustrating that old principle: "Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link".

Obviously, this lighting set is useless without holes for metal rods. I need to use it only today, and perhaps a few more times - being in rush,I may try to assemble it anyway, duck-tape style, but if that does not work, I am gladly returning it. If I were not in a rush to produce a simple video,  I would return this stupidity.

While a nice decoration, the internal motor and light housing arrived completely in pieces.  I should have been worried when I saw the big orange insert warning to call the company and not to return the product if any pieces are missing or damaged.  They clearly expect the problems with the quality control they apparently skipped.  Do not buy!

Right out of the box there is a ball bearing ready to fall out from behind the windage knob on the rear sight.  I uploaded a photo to "Customer Images" if you are interested in looking.  I guess quality control was asleep when this sight rolled past, there is no way it should have ever left the factory.  Good news is Amazon returns are pretty effortless.  Need to decide if I want to roll the dice again.......

One would think: a sturdy weight bench, manufactured by a well-known and respected company. A simple piece of equipment with simple assembly -- that is, assuming the parts fit together. The bench I ordered was defective. The front bracket was far too narrow and misshapen to accept the front stabilizer bar. The heavy steel bracket displayed no damage or paint chipping, suggesting that the problem occurred at the point of manufacture. And it's not an easy fix. This is clearly a quality control problem -- since one finds so few separate parts to be checked for quality. Buyer beware.

This door on one side of my Polaris Ranger fails to align with the latching device.  The passenger door simply was welded in correctly at the factory and quality control did not catch it in the final inspection (assuming it was inspected?).  This is SIMPLY sloppy workmanship that should have been resolved at the Pro Armor factory.

Unfortunately I did not catch this problem until about 90% of the installation job was completed; It is too much trouble to remove and return it; it is easier to fix the problem (I have a welder and tools) than return the door to Amazon.com.

This item was sold to me as new and factory packed. This is not new!!!! Buyer beware. It's even discolored

This s*** has some weird stain looking spots that seem to be a defect or this shirt was stained from factory. Looks like some weird looking stains.  I've attached just one of the stains.

Missing the washer to hold lamp shade in place for one of the lamps.

Item defective. First time I flipped the front sight up the detent/lock button and spring flew out and I spent half an hour looking for it. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I would think a reputable company would have some semblance of quality control in their production line. Sight is totally useless if it won't stay up, and it won't stay up when the button falls out when you flip the sight up. Never even got the chance to shoot the gun with the sight installed so I cannot say if it would hold zero or not. I may try ordering another to see if this was a fluke, but it looks like a design or machining defect. If these are built on CNC equipment (they pretty much have to be) there could be thousands of defective ones before there is a tooling change. If you buy this product check it out immediately and be prepared to return it.

The handle was assembled backwards and had a rivet in ot so there was no taking it off. This was a factory defect, but I solved the problem with a bit of gumption and a few tools.

I recently bought another WT3100 to replace an aging, balky one that I had.  Amazon must have gotten a large batch of incorrectly manufactured ones.  Sent the first back because the "air intake screen" (on front; not the air filter) was loose - by about 3/4" or so.  The front plastic piece was not far enough back.  The fix is *NOT* to loosen the front plastic piece and move it back.  The fix is to partially disassemble the front half of the unit so that the curved tubular piece can be correctly seated into the housing to which it is attached.

This factory assembly problem is the reason that so many people report that the trimmer string does not turn after they start the engine.  This curved tubular piece houses the flexible drive shaft.  When delivered without being fully seated in the housing, the flexible drive shaft is not able to engage the clutch on the motor.  So this fixes two major problems!

You need only a 4mm Allen wrench.  First loosen the two screws on the side of the front angle drive and slide off the angle drive altogether.  Then remove the two screws and nuts on the clamp that holds the tubular pieces of the frame to the curved tubular piece that houses the flexible shaft from the motor.  It helps a lot to have a second person assist in holding things, because this clamp that just got removed holds the motor to the frame.  Now remove the front plastic piece ahead of the air intake screen, as well as the screen.  Now loosen the two screws that hold the curved tubular piece in the plastic housing and shove the tubular piece further into the plastic housing until it firmly hits bottom, using a back and forth, twisting motion if needed.  This is likely close to an inch deeper than you received it.  Now, be sure that the far end of the curved tubular piece is pointed down (and not off to the side).  Re-tighten those screws that hold the tubular piece in - tighten them quite tight.  Then reassemble all: 1) the air screen, 2) the front plastic piece (there's a detent hole in the curved tubular piece for one of the screws in the front plastic piece, 3)the clamp that holds the curved tubular piece to the two halves of the tubular frame (there is also a detent hole in the curved tubular piece for the clamp), 4) and finally the front, angle drive head.  Be sure that all screws are tight.

Now, with a measuring tape, measure from the motor facing back edge of the angle drive to the back of the plastic piece from which the starter cord exits and you should see about 16 and 1/8 inches.  Now the thing is assembled as it should have left the factory.

Good luck.  This thing could have been designed a whole lot better; but at the very least they could have shipped only correctly assembled ones.

DO NOT BUY THIS. See the attached picture as to why

The casting where the manifold bolts to the head was broken on the surface and rough edges where it was machined. Must not have had any quality inspection at all, should have never left the factory! Sending it back for a replacement, will review the replacement. If it is the same will not buy the Dorman manifold again. We use a lot of Dorman products, they are usually first class!

defective parts that the company doesnt replace

Product (the lamp) was defective.  It is impossible to change the bulb... must be a manufacturing flaw. Battery belt was not long enough to fit a smaller videographer's waist.  (32 incles waist, meaning the belt was loose.  Sorry I ordered it.  I think Cool-lux is putting one over on Amazon by getting rid of these defects.
