I've bought some stuff there before. Some complete junk, some not so bad. Some things I have that actually work pretty well compared to the more expensive brands are the unibits, $2 jab saw that has lasted a long time even going through some rough plaster, and surprisingly, the wire stripper/cutter. After using the first one for a few months, I picked up a couple more for $3 I think, so I could just have them in several places.

My Harbor Freight "Hole Hog" had something snap inside ... happened twice ... and no more drilling. It's one HF tool that didn't pass muster.

Harbor freight is good for disposable tools as stated previously....But Pompano Beach for Vacay ? Even Wikapeda has it as a neglected beach and now they are trying to rid themselves of all of the PILL MILLS and other shady businesses there.....hope ya make it home!

Man, I don't know how I missed this! But that is a very good point. Where does Santa get tools for his elves?

My Moma always said Harbour Freight is like a box of cholates! Ya never know what your gona get. A joke ofcoarse but thats the real issue with the store. Some tools and supplies are worth the savings and some are pure crap and cause nothing but headaches. I seen a review somewhere on line before strictly on harbour freight mechandise. I think E-talk could benefit from a thread on the subject. I'll label it Harbour Freight Tools- Ace or Disgrace. Anyone with ideas on making it more efficient drop a line.

Didn't you here? He died about 2000 years ago. I don't think he shops much anymore.
