Need Tools.... Harbor Freight? Experience W/harbor Freight? Enter Please.

[Big P]

its already been said but ill give my experience. Ive been buying from there for years. I always need something stupid. I stopped buying makita angle grinders. I had a nice expensive makita angle grinder and it broke in a year and half. I ran to HF and bought the cheapest one they had was like 14 bucks. It broke after the job was done so i wasn't to mad. I took it back and the kid said "oh yea you dont want this one" he bumped me up to the next angle grinder up free of charge and 3 years later im still useing it. Its startin to make funny noises tho hehe

So yea you get what you pay for. Never buy there cheap shit unless you only want to use it 1 time.

there tools are ok. but if you can buy quality. for me i go there out of convience. is it a 3 minute drive to harbor or a 2 hour drive to the closet sears center? but it is hard to beat a $10 grinder and $4 circular saw blades.

thanks guys..

I found out there was a HF in Akron, so i drove up there and picked up a few things,

cut off - $6.99 "sale" extra wheels for it also.

die grinder set - like $10.99 or something

and a few other things cause they were on sale.

I been looking for a good D.A. and grinder "no grinder yet" , and i scooped up these Craftsman's. i could not pass up the price

D.A

Impact (& 6 impact sockets)

Ratchet

got them for a pretty good deal. they were used, but only the DA really shows wear, but they are all in 100% perfect working order which is the best thing, i really didnt need the impact & ratchet, but hell, it came in a package deal at a good price. i just need to get a few other things and i can get to work, but im on hold right now.
