[TowerTalk] whole house surge protectors

[Mike]

Well Jim, they pretty much all say the same thing, I often wonder if anybody
has tried to claim.  The unit at Harbor Freight is made by Cuttler-Hammer
though, so they might stand behind their product.

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has ever collected on one of 
those warranties.  Last time I looked at the fine print, it was pretty 
shaky.. You send us (at your expense) the equipment which is alleged to 
have failed, we (in our sole option) determine whether it was due to our 
box failing, and we (in our sole option) decide what the "current market 
value" of your failed device is.
