<p>Harbor Freight stuff is good enough for the "shadetree mechanic"
- when you need a somewhat unusual tool to repair or maintain an
old tractor, you can go buy an inexpensive one from Harbor instead
of running all over town trying to rent or borrow a good one. I
recognize their stuff is not Snap-On, Ingersoll, or classic
(pre-China) Milwaukee quality, but for my needs it's usually good
enough. I haven't managed to break the 1/2" drive torque wrench I
bought from them 10+ years ago...</p>
<p>If I was running a regular shop and needed good tools for
everyday use, I'd be on the Snap-On guy's route...but it's only a
10 minute drive across town to Harbor Freight.<br>

<p>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 .<br>

actually surprised that TSC sells and uses such good
paint. Maybe they are putting lipstick on a pig. IMHO, the
small trailers TSC sells are pieces of junk. Maybe that
isn’t Valspar paint. Might be electrostatic. Really poorly
built trailers with cheap materials. I’ve noticed some
other products at TSC that are not worth writing home
about either. My limited experience with TSC products is
they are higher priced and lower quality. <snip></span><o:p></o:p></p>
