Harbor Freight Tools

The people who work at Harbor Freight are great. The products, many of them, which seem to originate from overseas, are cheaply made and not worth removing from the shelves. When I bought a set of Countersink Bits and they couldn't even bore into softwood...I had to return them and purchase a set of USA made bits. And they weren't much more expensive. Harbor Freight is great at reminding me to buy American made products.

This place is awesome. Lots of great deals n easy to find what you're looking for n also the stuff u didn't know u needed lol. Great staff and helpful informing you of upcoming sales n deals. Highly recommend the yearly membership for even more deals n savings. 👌

If you are going here then you know what you are getting into so I won't comment on product.
The store though is well lit, clean, with full shelves of the stuff they sell and well organized.
Checkout could use some updating to take people in order instead of having to pick which register seems best.
Plenty of parking and a traffic light to get you back on the busy road.

Started buying from them in 1987.
Mail Order ONLY back then as
Harbor Freight Salvage Co.
Although I'll admit their tools were cheap and not of the best quality way back.
The first major tool I ever purchased through H.F. was a Band Saw in 1988.
It STILL works to this very day and it has been through Hell and High Water !!
They've done nothing but get better, ever since. It was a somewhat slow evolution but that's how it goes.
I OWN all the Big Boy, brand name tools too. That being said, the current line up of Harbor Freights HIGHER END tools,
Will hold up to almost any big brand tool nowadays !
Yup, they still sell some cheaper stuff and if you're going for the cheaper stuff, you might break it after a while but for the price. Use em, Abuse em, then buy another one. You'll still come out on top compared to buying a single brand name for 4 X the price.
Not only that but H.F. is slowly taking over the US. market.
As others Fall,,, H.F. is building a new store every few weeks.
With a little work in their Warranty dept.
I suspect they'll be Numero Uno in the US, in under 5-7 years.
Clean inside and staff has always been helpful.
Pictured below, a 1,500 lb. Bike Jack & 3 Ton, Low Profile Floor Jack with Extension Arms which were both bought roughly 6 years ago. Also a US General 5 Draw tool chest which easily holds up to my old Snap On chest which is basically unsellable for what I paid originally..
No issues with the Harbor Freight stuff either..
