/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Harbor Freight's quality is fine, they're about the same level as Lowe's/HD store brand for hand tools -- of course Lowe's and HD have the Gucci brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee, who def make some higher end products than what HF will ever stock -- but that's perhaps a different argument.

I would avoid power tools from HF, that's one area that's they really aren't just as good. And quite honestly, HF might have decent metal on their tools, but the finish on anything painted is ass, and the grips leave something to desire 99% of the time., Pic related is the rare exception -- plenty strong, grips feel great and like $9. The Kobalt one from Lowe's is like $5 more, but I was at HF that morning.
