I buy lots of stuff from Harbor Freight.
Yeah--I make regular forays to Harbor Fright and have been generally happy
with my purchases. I think if one is a professional who depends on his
tools
day in and day out, their tools would not be for them. But when you use a
tool
as an occasional hobbyist, they are just fine. Everything, I mean
EVERYTHING
is oriental-made. 8^)

************************
I buy lots of stuff from Harbor Freight -- but nothing where I don't care if
it breaks a couple of years down the line and needs to be tossed.
OTOH, I learned early that there are many times where paying for quality the
first time saves having to replace junk with a quality product later and
paying twice just to end up with the same thing. Harbor Freight and others
of the same ilk give you what you pay for -- nothing more, nothing less.
The problem arises when you pay 50 cents on the dollar of what a real tool
costs and then expect to get the same quality. Ain't gonna happen.
