At this point, the warranty on Harbor Freight's Pittsburgh hand tools is as good or better than the Craftsman warranty. Quality doesn't seem to be much different, either, but they are astonishingly cheap.
I still prefer to buy Milwaukee for my power tools, at least for anything cordless - lack of battery standardization and interoperability sucks, so once you start buying into one brand, you kind of want to stick with it, and the M18 line is solid.
- magduf 7y agoI have to disagree about the hand tools. The most recent Craftsman tools I've seen have been pretty lousy, and Harbor Freight's tools have gotten pretty darn good, especially considering the price. I have some HF tools, and for a backyard/weekend mechanic, I would happily recommend them; I haven't had one break on me yet (unlike Craftsman). HF's power tools, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about, but they do look like they've gotten better over the years.
