be careful what you buy. i broke/striped alot of the tools i purchased from harbor freight after a
few uses. they are cheap, and if you only need them for a 1 of tool you will be ok. But be selective.
i currently still have a set of jack stands from them and 2 of the 4 have cracks in the welds.

agreed! if you used your tools frequently, don't buy from harbor freight
if you're looking for something that you'll uses a couple times HF is ok. They are cheap quality sold at "inexpensive" prices.
I get airhoses and crap like that from them.

the sockets they and hand tools aren't bad, don't buy anything electric from there
I have their framing nailer. Its been good for the 7-8 times I've used it so far. But ya, look over what your your buying.

thanks, guys...I got an extra breaker bar, a Goodyear hose, some socket extensions, and random stuff
Keep an eye on what you buy though. Some stuff is actually cheaper in a regular store.

i actually think the opposite...i have had better luck with air and power tools..
i am good friends with a long time mechanic who works on eavy equipment. He swears by many of his HF air tools nany of which he has had for 20 years.
