I have a few things I've gotten from Harbor freight and I'm completely
satisfied with the qaulity. One is a rachet set with the name Pitsburg
forge on them. They are the best quality, but, I've found them to be
completly serviceable and very durable. ( I'm a little hard on hand tools)
The second is a engine hoist/cherry picker. It has been used by everyone
and his brother over the years. I agree beware of the quality, but, I've
had good luck with these items.
