It's been my experience that the rebuilt axles last longer than the
ones from the factory, but YMMV.

What happens out here in the desert is the rubber cracks and as soon
as a little bit of grease is able to sling out through that opening,
the rest of the boot is history in no time. The rebuilt axles I've
gotten have always outlasted the originals because the boots seem to
hold up better..

Every product I have ever bought from Harbor Freight has broken in such
a way that I got injured. I don't like getting injured.

Not sure which applies -

a) It is a poor workman who blames his tools.
b) The bitterness of low quality remains long after the sweetness of
low cost is gone..
c) You get what you pay for.

In defence of Harbor Freight - the small angle grinder I bought from
them works great. The cheap wrenches last as long as Craftsman
wrenches and cost a lot less to replace when I lose them out in a
field. The cheap paint gun did the job and was cheap enought to throw
away when the project was done (painting a tractor - it is only
important if it looks good from 100 yards away).

My best advice is to know your applciation and yourself and buy
accordingly.
