YAY Harbor Freight

<< < (6/6)

My local Harbor Freight is a little less stocked then most, because of county laws.  They're prevented from seeling anything that's not UL listed, which includes basically all of their low-end power tools.  Funny thing is, they still display them, and you can still get them shipped from the online store, you just can't buy it locally.

Forunately, the one near my work has no such restrictions...

How can anything be more than an hour or so away in Massachusetts? Traffic, maybe?

Traffic.  Traffic affects everything heavily here.  Besides, even with no traffic, it's still two hours from south to north in the east and three+ hours from east to west.

Yah I am thankful to have a Harbor Freight 2 miles from my house... Bought a hammer drill for $40 last weekend; sure enough it was dead on arrival when I went to try it out...!   :badmood: Back to HF I went and swapped it... If it was more than 2 miles I would have been pissed - I know people do drive to the store from many miles away.

If I was working with tools every day for a living I would probably want better quality. But for an occasional weekend warrior, Harbor Frieght's cheap chinese crap does the job.

And if in a year my hammer drill dies, I go back and buy another for $40...
