99% of what's in Harbor Frieght.


Harbor Freight sold me a real nice furniture dolly. I don't know that
it'd be possible to mess that up too much.


My rule of thumb when I used to shop there was to ask myself .. Is
there any possible way they could screw this up?
They surprised me by figuring out a way to screw up jigsaw blades,
pliers, screwdrivers, and other stuff.

Their pipe clamps are ok (not quite as smooth as ponies). I got a nice
heavy grinder stand from them, one good hammer, and a lot of $$$ worth
of useless crap. I know I have a net loss with them in terms of
"savings".. When you have to toss a lot of the stuff in the trash, it
really eats away at what you really save by going there.
