Harbor Freight has been around for decades. They didn't have brick and
mortar stores in my area of NY.

They just have a few stores, don't think any are east of the Mississippi. We
have one in Tulsa and it's a real interesting place to browse and is always
crowded. Their .99 cent package of shrink tubing looks just like the one RS
wants 3 or 4 bucks for. I have several of their paint guns and stationary
equipment stands and all I can say is that they work and the price is right.
Independent too, they slam the door at 6:00 PM and don't think they open on
Sunday either which probably makes it hard for some of the employed, I'm
retired so no big deal for me. RM~
