Default Grizzly vs Harbor Freight: is there really much difference?

If you want an easy warranty Grizzly, if you want a boat anchor HF.

HF is a common whipping boy here on the Wreck, whereas Grizzly is
often and highly recommended. I note differences in their overall
structure and offerings. But for similar merchandise (bandsaws,
jigsaws, planers, drill presses, etc.), I see only the slightest
margin of difference in fit and finish--a margin of difference that is
negligible for those who tinker with their WW toys during set up
before they ever use them.

So what gives? Is it that Grizzly is predominantly WWing and HF not?
That HF offers more of the substandard line of tools than Grizzly?
That HF is a behemoth merchandiser, in comparison? Or is it simply
that Green looks nicer than Orange?

Speaking of Orange, remember, I'm only talking of the comparable items
(oranges and oranges, not apples and oranges) both sell that seem
identical. I suspect a lot of their tools are made in the same
location and have a similar quality finish.

Curious,
H
