I'm more able than most to remedy/improve things I don't like by machining
or rewiring, rather than returning it, unless there's a good alternative
elsewhere. These days a different brand at higher price may come from the
same Chinese factory.

 I do the same. Often play the Ebay game, figuring an item maybe fine or
maybe I'll have to fix it. It's my way of gambling. Most of the time
it's a win and the times it's not I'm not out any money I'd not planned
on losing anyway.
 I read through the HF reviews to find what people are complaining
about. Often times it's something to be expected from said item at the
price point. Other times you can tell it won't hold up to what you want
to do with it and I'll look elsewhere...
 I do appreciate your thoughts on stuff, always well thought out and
honest👍
 

I used the "most expensive" Harbor Freight cable puller for years, and it worked great.  It did finally have some failures, damage would be more accurate, but it was due to gross abuse on my part.  Still I looked for something "better."  The one I moved the container with is a Jet, I believe, and it has also been abused, but not for so many years just yet.  It seems to be holding up just fine.  I would not touch the Tekton brand cable pullers.  The ratchet pall/catch looks like cast crap, and they have negative reviews about that very part. I'm not sure where my Harbor Freight puller is these days, but at least in memory it looks about the same as the much more expensive Jet.
