Same thing with Harbor Freight. It's fast to go in and grab a tool, they're cheap, and they have everything.

- samstave 9y agoWhile I never buy anything there, I have been impressed with their ads for how cheap good tools are from HB
- duskwuff 9y agoHarbor Freight doesn't sell "good tools". They sell cheap tools. Often it's good enough to work with, but nothing they sell is anything you'd want to rely on for daily use.
- bbarn 9y agoAs a big fan of quality tools, I find they are useful for certain things you really can't justify the cost of. i.e., I need this stupid security torx screwdriver. Need a new air compressor hose or connectors, bulk shop rags, bungee cords, etc.
