You can let it break with all the other crap you bought from them.

Yeah they do but some of it is very poorly manufactured and breaks easily

Cheap, shitty tools.




That said, sometimes that's exactly what I need.

And unfortunately some incredibly low quality also. Will get what you pay for at this place.

I almost got kicked off of a GE site one time for buying a punch set from there. The store items are so terribly shitty that my company was going to remove me.

Most of you are full of it, yeah their stuff is not top of the line but you don't go there for commercial quality.

I love the place. You can buy tools for 25% the cost elsewhere and most of what I buy there if it lasts longer than the one project I need it for that's just s bonus. It's cheaper to buy their stuff than to rent it elsewhere.

Lol at people shitting on harbor freight. Yes, if you plan to make a living with these tools or plan to put your life in their hands (jacks, lifts, etc), yes, pass. But for your typical diy guy, the rest of their stuff is just fine. Wrenches are wrenches, tool boxes are tool boxes, clamps are clamps. I needed a roofing nail gun. To rent one would have cost $150-$200. I bought one for $90, did the project, and now I have a roofing nail gun.
