Harbor Freight tools may not be the "top of the line" tools but they are quality inexpensive tools. At one time, a particular brand had a line of "good", "better", "best" tools. While I would not put Harbor Freight's tools in the "best" category, they are definitely "better" than a lot of tools for the money. My husband has their mechanic's cart to keep his tools in, he has their 1/2 ton and 1 1/2 ton jacks as well as their paint spraying rig, pressure washer, cordless drill and flashlight, air compressor, wood chipper, and generator just to name of few of the tools. We have had our generator, for example, for 8 years and have had no problems with it whatsoever. When our grandson bought their first house, my husband went down to Harbor Freight and purchased several needed tools for the new homeowner as a house warming present. Now no matter what comes up, he's got a great beginner's toolkit to make repairs with! For most homeowners, the tools from Harbor Freight will take care of the majority of your home repairs. read more
