I've put thousands of miles on my HF 4x8 trailer, all without any problems. I did purchase the 12" wheel/tire trailer.

BTW, Sears will be selling their Craftsman 3/8" & 1/2" drive click type torque wrenches for $40 on "Black Friday" Nov27th. Unfortunately, Sears no longer sells a 1/4" drive torque wrench--had to buy it HF.

I bought their little atv trailer for 199.00 and repacked the bearing
before I took it out works great and have turned down offers to
people wanting to buy pretty nice little trailer!
