    if you plan on using them in the long run, go with snap on or blue point or craftsman

    alot of harbor freights tool are remasked rebuilt national brands

    i worked for a company that bought a heavy duty concrete drill from harbor freight b/c we only needed it once, ended up using that sumbitch 2-3 times a week and it worked perfect the entire time i was there

    and ive been using a HF 3/8 impact wrench for over 5 years now, oil it every time i use it and ive never had a problem with it

    Not always.

    I bought a 27" flat-screen TV from Wal-Mart for $160 about 4 years ago. It's a Symphonic brand. I don't know if that TV has been turned off 10 times in since I got it. Video games and everything. Still works like brand new to the day.

    My car stereo system for the last 4 years, also, has been complete Jensen. I transferred it from my Neon to my Buick a year and a half ago and it still does it's thing. Paid a total of $200 for the amp, subs, HU, satellite tuner, wiring, and factory replacements.

    I believe it has a lot to do with how you take care of your product. Later, QD.

    harborfreight is the only one i know of, other than craftsman.
    HF has some decent stuff, ive got several things from them, and they are still holding in there, however some of the stuff has broken. its just all in how much you use it and how well you take care of it.

    but the snap on stuff is pretty. lol.

    I have about 20k in Snap On and Mac tools, most of it is Snap on. Craftsman is fine for people that work on thier car at home, do projects, hell even motor swaps and restoring a car. Snap On hand tools are so expensive because they are the best hand tools you can buy. They are built to withstand being used for 8 hours a day, in a shop. Snap on wrenches and sockets fit better and round off less nuts and bolts. I have been using my Snap On 3/8s inpact for 6 years every day and it still works perfect. Snap on tools are built with denser metals. I have bent matco wrenches, and exploded the guts of a husky ratchet. For do it yourself stuff Craftsman is your best bet. I have broken Craftsman sockets, with a breaker bar and a jack handle. But they will replace it no questions asked. To this date the only snap on tool I have broken is a drop light.
