WTH is 'Harbour Frieght'? Another of your drug induced nightmares?

Harbor Freight is a chain selling cheap tools. Some of their stuff is good,
and/or good value for the money.


I am familiar with Harbor Freight. I have bought from them for over
30 years. I used to buy drill bits by the pound, by mail. They were all
seconds, due to an uneven coloration but they were quite good. A
cordless drill I bought there ten years ago ran for over seven years
before the 9.6 volt battery died. I replaced it with a spare 18 V pack
and still use it. I had one bad LED flashlight, and one 6in1
screwdriver in all those years.

There is a local store, and I am a member of their 'Inside track
Club'. In all that time I've had less than 1% defective items which is
much better than my record with Craftsman. I've had their lousy screw
drivers break the first time I used them to remove the screws from a
computer case.

The problem that I see is that most people don't know what the hell
they are buying, or how to use it. A character I know bought their
lightweight cement mixer. He burnt the motor up by loading too much mix
& water into the drum. They replaced it twice, and he continued to
overload the mixer. He says that he's an 'Idiot Savant'.

I have talk to a lot of tradespeople about HF tools and they tell me
they rarely break one, but they have them disappear on job sites. They
will buy several sets of wrenches, and hide a spare set, just in case.
