Harbor Freight pneumatic stool recall

[peabodyracin]

Got an email yesterday from Harbor Freight about them recalling Pittsburg pneumatic stools.

Apparently a concern about the seat breaking off. The email is nicely done on how to identify if yours is affected by the recall.

I bought mine a good year plus back and use the heck out of it. Was a great tool for the money.

Just passing this along.

Wonder if I can send my 3 x 30 year old ones back, seats broken off two and one the cylinder is pooched..

I have 3 of those, the only issue is keeping the wheels on tight. The newest is probably 5 years old.

Where does the shaft go when the seat breaks off is my concern.

Bring a light when you look.
