    HF Kwality Kontrol

    I love HF quality control. Note the orientation of the label.



    I suppose if you only read chinese or maybe can't read at all, then English right side up or upside down all looks the same.

    That and the other three decals were all crooked. I guess it works fine, nonetheless.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    you can read it just fine --- if you're brad nailing something to the ceiling.

      Exactly. That there is the overhead model.

        At least, there are labels present.

            You can read that label just fine no matter which way you're "using" the brad nailer. The only time it would be hard to read would be if you were just "lookin" at it with the handle in the up position. I think it's very beneficial to have a warning/instructional label readable when using the tool instead of having it cosmetically pleasing to the eye.

              At Harbor Freight... We put the K in Kwalitee.

              Actually, I need to look, but I believe that label is supposed to be like that, or it is a very common manufacturing error with HF... If I recall right, my finish nailer is like that too...

              Im not going to fault the guys / gals on the line thought. They probably read more English than I do Cantonese....

                for some reason it really pisses me off when the decals are crooked. Nothing really bends my crank more than a $30,000+ car with a dealer logo on the trunk lid that's crooked. With the automaker's logo right next to it to line up with.

                Anyway, for the air nailer, I'd rather they just put the decals unmounted in the box and let me do it. Saves them time and makes me happy.

                  Left handed model was my thought.

                    Then you would need a label to tell you to stick on the other labels.

                      Nothing a hair dryer and plastic putty knife can't fix...

                      I mean the thing with those dumb dealer stickers... Every car I have bought, the first thing I did to it was remove ANY dealer badging / branding. Why should I pay them good money to drive a rolling advertisement for them? They want me to have their stickers on my car? They should pay me...

                        I just bought a new car, which came to me via the local Ford store doing a swap with a dealership two states away. Sometime during the process the sales person and I happened to be standing behind some other car on the lot. I pointed to the dealer-name sticker on the trunk lid and said, "Oh, by the way ... when my car gets here? Don't do this. Don't." They didn't.

                          Here, here. I have always done the same. I went one step further and have them remove it before I left the dealership.

                              I have them them take off $200 from the rock bottom price I already negotiated as an "advertising fee". Then I take off the dealer sticker when I get home
