Quality of Harbor Freight and Chicago Electric tools
Harbor Freight seems to have some very attractively priced power
tools, particularly those under the "Chicago Electric Power". What has been your experience with Harbor Freight in general and with the Chicago Electric brand in particular? - How does the quality and value stack up? - If one is a serious hobbyist who doesn't have unlimited money to spend on tools, is it better to buy fewer name-brand, high-priced tools or go for a broader range of Chicago Electric brand tools to fill out my home shop? Presumably you never get something for nothing so I imagine the quality of a 29.95 sawzall type tool can't be as good as a $200 Milwaukee version... but that being said, is it worth buying this stuff? Please share your experiences and advice from a hobbyist perspective (I know that if you use your tools professionally 8+ hours/day then it pays to buy the best). Thanks |
