Harbor Freight Harbor Freight sells defective micro torches! Tucson Arizona

I bought a micro-torch (orange body, black base and top) a few months ago, and used it once, no problem. When I tried to use it again, it sputtered and died. It also leaks gas when the valve is turned to the "Off" position, making this item a potentially dangerous one. I called the store I bought it from, and spoke with the assistant manager, who told me that yes, these torches get returned on a regular basis. She accepted my complaint, but did not offer to exhange or refund the defective item.

I don't think I am going to shop there in the future, if the company will not stand behind their products, and continues to sell products they know to be defective.
