Is there a list anywhere of the Harbor Freight tools that are considered
good deals (digital calipers for $16, air nailer for $15, etc) ?

Thanks

Mike, essentially, do your homework. If a tool (caliper) costs $12.00 at
Woodcraft and the identical item is $3.99 at HF . . . . As for the power
tools. Most are okay for the hobbist, but stay away from the really cheap
stuff. The dustcollector works well, after you add a good filter bag (or
in my case two) and use a plastic garbage bag for the collection bag. As
it comes out of the box, it looks good, makes a lot of noise and does
nothing good (30 micron filter bag - you need 1 micron or less). The
cordless drills (18v) work well - they are not Dewalt quality, but you are
not paying Dewalt prices either.

Generally, use you head.
