/diy/ - Do It Yourself

There’s a super cheap HF set, and then a slightly better one. I don’t think the more expensive one is complete trash (based on reading the reviews after searching and keeping in mind that 50% of the population is retarded).

But one must remember why Harbor Freight is so cheap- almost zero quality control. So you can never be too sure about where that patch of pot metal will be within your Chinesium tools, and you don’t want it to be in a tap that breaks off in something expensive.

Who knows though. The people around here like to say it’s machinist grade or nothing, but I imagine the higher priced HF set wouldn’t be the worst thing to have around the shop if you need to clean up some threads.

...for sheet metal.

There’s also pic related which is in the same category. 1/3 of the buyers hate the thing because they don’t understand what it’s for and they thought it would be like your DeWalt bits that are less expensive than a full tap and die set. The other 2/3 of buyers love it because it’s a fast and handy tool when used correctly.
