RE: Harbor Freight

[Jim Camery <jcamery@domain.elided>]

I've got very varied opinions of HF.  I ordered a heavy vise, 3-ton long frame hydraulic jack, and impact screwdriver from them (free shipping deal; jack and vise were heaviest I could find).  Things took longer to show than I expect from anybody.  Quality of jack and vise appears very high, but the impact screwdriver was the cheapest piece of tin I've ever seen.  Took about three whacks from a 4-lb hammer and it exploded into pieces.  Got a Sears one (for about three time more $$), but this thing is built!!  I'd use them again, but only for things I can verify the quality of up-front.
