If your first statement werre true, I'd be over at the Harley (or Indian, Victory Motus whatever) forum. That being said, I agree with buy American/buy local as much as possible. But I don't think i can sue Pa Norton if I wad it up, either. Pros need a good, sturdy lift, which the HF is borderline. But hobbyists sometimes can't afford the best and have to make do. My table is a plywood egg-crate stand that requires a ramp.If you live in China I guess the Chinese lift would be O.K. If you live elsewhere, not so good. Pretty hard to sue that Chinese manufacture if the lift should malfunction and say, crush your leg. And I'm quite certain Harbor Freight is pretty well lawyered up. If you live in the United States I would highly recommend the Handy lift. Made in Iowa and a far, far better product than that sold by Harbor Freight.
Remember, cheap is not always the least expensive.
