A good question to ask when considering Harbor Freight is "when this thing breaks, am I driving back to Harbor Freight or to the hospital?". They do have some decent quality tools nowadays, not to mention the heaps of consumables where quality isn't exactly a critical factor. Their Icon tools come with a lifetime warranty and they seem to be similarly uncaring about "misuse" in an effort to mirror SnapOn's reputation. They will even accept the phone number alone for proof of purchase instead of having to keep track of a thermal printer receipt that will fade away over time like how Lowe's handles warranty exchanges if you don't have the same credit card it was purchased on. I love Harbor Freight but you'll never find me using one of their chainsaws.
