    It is.

    They screwed up making them look like machine parts. They should have made them look like tooling. Tungsten carbide cutting tools and inserts are almost the same density as gold. They are frequently coated in titanium nitride, which is gold-colored.

        A shipping crate gets mislabeled. A box of “tungsten carbide” drill bits gets routed to a warehouse, then distributed out to various Harbor Freight locations.

        People buy them, and they get dull and break upon use, and the people throw them out and swear they’ll never buy Harbor Freight junk again.
