[AT] Critique of TSC was Antique tractors anyone?

[szabelski at wildblue.net]

I’ve had pretty good luck with HFT tools and their warranties. I usually read all the reviews beforeI buy anything, and sometimes you can see that tool failures are due to user error or abuse. Not swearing by anything, or defending them in everything. They do have some items that are not worth using more than once, but that’s usually all I need it for. You do get what you pay for in some instances. If I were buying for the purpose of going into business for myself,  I would definitely go big name and high price.

Don't pick on Harbor Freight!  They have got me out of a bind many times 
when I needed a large wrench or when my Ingersoll 1in drive impact got 
water inside and rusted.  Harbor Freight's Earthquake 1in drive impact 
had twice the torque the old Ingersoll had and was $100 less than the 
parts to fix the Ingersoll.   I have had their impact sockets and 
wrenches for several years now, and have no problem with them.  Their 
impact wrenches give good service for a lot less .
