Where did Harbor Freight come from?
I have 9 different Harbor Freight advertisements sitting on my desk at
the moment, every one is different although many of the ads on any sheet have about 80% of the advertised specials found on the other sheets. This led me to wonder just where Harbor Freight came from. I don't recall hearing anything about the company until about 3-4 years ago, and then they suddenly seemed to be all over the place, both in advertisements and their retail stores. Anyone know actual facts about their history? |

Anyone know actual facts about their history? Wikipedia says they started in 1968. Read all about them he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbor_Freight_Tools HTH, Jay |

Their site says 1977 and I would have sworn I ordered stuff from them in 73-74 -ish. I wonder if there is some legal deal or if that's a typo on their site. Jim |
