I was just about to say that. Those look like HBF Pittsburgh colors.

.....I might need to make a run there soon myself...:shifty:

About the only thing I buy from Harbor Freight anymore are shop towels for my garage.

Take an old panel and punch a bunch of holes in it and see.:thumbsup:

We have a few of those.


I prefer the Greenlee ol' faithful.

I've never heard of that brand, but a quick Google shows that set, or one very similar, on Amazon for $900, and on Platt.com for $950. Only info on country of origin is "imported". Made in China?

I've heard of Dottie. They sell a lot of nuts & bolts at the local SHs. Never knew they built hydraulic KO sets.

Ive never bought any Dottie tools, so I really cant Give you a good answer, but, I do own several Harbor Freight tools that dont get used on a regular basis. If im not going to use something everyday, or very often, OR if its NOT something that I absolutely NEED when Im in a jam, I'll buy cheap stuff. Why not? If its only going to get used 3 or 4 times a year, dont waste your money on high end equipment.

Using the Maxxis one that you attach to a drill. Works fine. Not punching holes every day. Would love to have the greenlee battery operated one.

I grabbed an old 40 space ITE deadfront out of the shed and did just that. Works great. With the 100 or so holes I punch in a year I think it'll be perfect. I paid $560 for it.
