    HF tools and accessories are fine for the everyman. Bought a set of tin-snips a couple months ago for a project and they work just as good as any pair of snips I've ever used.

    If you wrench for a living and make your paycheck off your tools and their ability to never let you down or hinder your work, you should look elsewhere.

    :stupid: What he said. My garage and travel boxes are full of Harbor Freigjt and Duralast tools. I wrench on all of my own bike and vehicles. Even rebuilt a 1971 Plymouth satellite with the same tools. Wrenches, socket sets, ratchets, breaker bars, impact wrenches, air compressor, multimeter, digital calipers, soldering iron...done has ever let me down. And of I lose something it's not a big deal!

    i only buy some tools that will get very light and occasional use. like impact sockets and cheap hand tools. i've had impact driver bits break on it's first use. one thing i recommend everyone to buy is their tap & die set. for the price, it's worth it!

    Their impact socket set, metric and standard, have served me well.

    I have it. It's what I would call "serviceable junk". I use it as a backup in my truck and its OK. The case is horrible, the sockets and wrenches are fine, the pliers and anything that moves is junk. The Craftsman / Kobalt tool sets go on sale for $99 and can be complemented with a few HF tools for a better overall outcome.

    I've had some cheap sockets and wrenches through the years that have let me down, so I hadn't ever tried HF hand tools. It's cool to hear many of you having good luck though.

    I did buy a HF benchtop drill press to safety wire my first racebike back in 2007. I paid $40 for it and it's still going strong. It was a great purchase for my simple needs.

    I bought a biscuit cutter to experiment with some wood joinery. Don't ask me how something with a fixed dimension for cutting the slots can screw up but it does. Also the clamps they sell are junk. The only thing I buy there now are tarps, even those only last a year.

    That's what I need one for - and if the genset in the RV goes out which has happened rarely but has happened.

    Oh that's pretty decent there. Wonder if this is as good as it gets this year. Guess I should join inside track also.

    I was apprehensive about it , but I purchased a wet saw from them that turned out to be incredible. From my experience do not buy any type of saw blades from them .. all I tried were junk . I did buy a very high quality aftermarket wet saw blade to use in that saw for laying down a 800 ft porcelain floor on a remodel job on Condo before sale and it did that job flawlessly

    Just so everyone knows, its still the 1990s at Harbor Freight. I didn't want to be signing up for a membership in line at the local HF. I purchased the inside track membership online thinking it would be instant since its 2021. Nope, HF mails you a physical card with your membership number... hopefully they will email me the membership number before the coupon expires.

    Mine is around 600 hours and aside from cleaning out the spark arrestor and oil changes, haven't done anything to it. Appreciate the follow up so when mine starts giving me actual problems I'll have an idea what to look for if it has similar issues.
