If it is going to get a lot of use why not buy a good one? harbor
freight power tools are pretty much low end tools that might be a good
fit for an occasional user.

Because a "good" one costs from three (Dremel) to 15 (Fein) times as
much.

Harbor Freight: $70
Dremel: $100

3 x 70 = 100? New math?

Harbor Freight has one that is almost always on sale for $34. It's
built like a tank.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Different models:

Single speed ($34)
Variable Speed ($70)

3 x 34 = ~100
3 x 70 = well, a bit more.

P.S. If it were built like a tank it would have a gun turret, tracks,
a 100mm gun or maybe a M-67 flamethrower. My $34 HF MultiFunction tool
didn't come with any of those features.

Built like a tank could mean built like the Brit tanks that were in use in
WWII:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Design.../dp/0750910593

http://www.royaltankregiment.com/9_R...Unprepared.htm

Britain went from the leader in tank design from the end of WWI to tanks
that allowed German tanks to sit outside return fire range and fire rounds
that would penetrate and then bounce around the crew compartment of the Brit
tanks, killing everyone inside.

. . . over the years 57 different designs were commenced, of which 38 were
cancelled either at the paper stage or at the prototype stage. Of the 19
that became production models, eight were moderately battle-worthy. The rest
were either useless or close to it, and included the Covenanter, Crusader,
Centaur, Cavalier, Challenger, and Matilda Mark I. The problems with these
tanks included mechanical unreliability, insufficient armour, and
under-gunning.

So, built like a tank has its qualifiers . . .

Only if you don't understand what it means in the context.

How about "built like a brick ****house"? Can you get your head around
that one okay?

Sheesh.- Hide quoted text -

I don't know...I did a Google Image search on "built like a brick
****house" and none of the hits look like my HF Multi-Function tool.

Thus my less-than-serious response.

But really...my HF "built like a brick ****house" Multi-Function tool
doesn't have *any* of the "features" seen at:

http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl...oq=& gs_rfai=

....especially the first image.
