I think this is a carry over from the old site, sort of a spin off of the great products thread. I searched and didnt find one here. If there is, let me know and I will delete this one.

Goodyear Assurance tires 225/65/17

Fucking garbage

After not having a flat in almost 15 years. These damn tires have had 2. One a piece of glass the size of a small marble punched a hole in one. Now one has developed a slow leak with no visible puncture. All with less than 7k miles. First one was at 2k and nope, not covered by warranty. We'll see what they say about this one in a few minutes when they open.

Would not recommend.

only good thing is they are super quiet on the road. Other than that I hate them and they seem to be wearing fast on the wifes outback.
 
antigravity xp-10 jump start pack. Poop compared to my old matco gel cell jump pack.

Rain x wipers, biggest pieces of shit wipers ever in snow and ice, and the email I sent them was ignored. Worst close to 40 dollars I ever spent.

No shit. They don't say "snow-x" on the package. They're the best you can buy for....this may surprise you....rain.

That's like buying sticky tires and complaining that they wear out too fast when you're commuting.
 
Anything from LMC. Everything I've ever bought from them has been complete garbage that fell apart at most in a few weeks. They take forever to ship then charge an outrageous amount for shipping. Customer service is fucking awful.

Ordered a cable for the window in the tailgate of my K5 I had a the time a few years ago. Got it and the only packaging was a plastic sleeve that wasn't even sealed. Installed it and it worked for like 2 days before it completely fell apart. LMC refused to accept a return for it because I threw the plastic it came in away. :rolleyes:

Mitsubishi TV, or anything at this point. Bought a DLP HDTV in 2004 and the fucking thing shit the bed with a bunch of swole up caps, and they couldn't provide replacement parts. I had an extended warranty on it, and they cut me a check to buy a bigger, better Sony that I still have, 13 years and counting.

RedWing boots. Ariat clothes, Nitto Tera Grappler G2’s, Interco Iroks, NewBright R/C cars. All stuff I regretted the money spent on.

Top disappointment I can think of is my Ruger 10/.22. I seem to have gotten the one POS that won’t cycle. I’ve done everything the Internet says to do to them if they won’t cycle good and it changes nothing. I can load any of my magazines, stuff it in my brothers rifle and empty it out without a jam. Re-load the same mag put it in my rifle and it’ll jam by not ejecting the spent shell, and cramming the next shell & the spent shell together. The extractor pulls the spent shell from the hole, but doesn’t spit it out the window. So the spent shell stops the action from loading the next round. I’ve polished the hell out of the action, tried different gun oils. I have 1650 fps CCI ammo and it won’t even cycle that. Brother(s) guns will empty any of my mags with cheap bulk ammunition.

I know you polished the action, but did you polish or slightly taper the chamber opening? Not sure if I am describing it right, but I had a old used 10-22 do what you are describing and there was a tiny lip on the chamber opening that would snag the expended shell and slow it down enough to jam as described. A gun smith spent about a minute on it and its run trouble free for the last 25+ years.

Top disappointment for me is California, I want my money back.

My $250 Rizk Battery charger. Sure, it puts out lots of current, and will jump start dead cells. But it was completely not worth the money, and is a backbreaker to carry around. I had it in my head that it was going to be able to save batteries that a smart charger wouldn't charge. Haven't saved one yet, but this thing is still the absolute charger of last resort. It's a pain to use, the cords can't properly coil up on it, and it's overpriced.

I had a similar problem with mine I sold it.
turns out there was a problem with the trigger pack that made it hard to reset the hammer and it was in the wrong position when rest.
