There is one near me as well. Never bought anything there. I'm sure
you've picked up winners and losers. How about naming a few of each?

I get the feeling HF purchases end up being either you got what you
paid for or plain old lucky.

I bought a reciprocating saw from Harbor Freight for $20. I've used it
to cut branches from large bushes down and let the handyman I hired to
replace my windowsills use it. After cutting one window sill out with
it he claimed that was worth $20 right there. He also asked for my
catalog.

If you use tools ocassionally or want to buy a specialty tool you'll
use once or twice you can consider Harbor Freight tools. If you make
your living with tools like this you want better quality and something
that will last a long time.

Quality, Price, Service. Pick two. (I think that's how the adage
goes).
