Harbor Freight gets million dollar fine
Fine My rule has been that anything more complex than a screwdriver or combo wrench is not safe to buy from HF. Their power tools are certainly junk.

When farming here in Wyoming you will find out you need a wrench in each tractor, a wrench in the shop, a wrench in your swather. By the time you buy 5 or 6 wrenches of each size, and of course, you won't need just one size you will need a whole set. Pretty expensive. I have lost lots of wrenches in the field while working on equipment. I would have gone broke buying all those pricey tools when Harbor Freight tools will work just fine. Ever price a 2 or 2 1/2 inch wrench at Napa? The bigest problem with Harbor freight tools is you do break them. Not the big ones. However, I have broken some high priced tools also. If I was working in a nice warm shop or it was just a hobby and only needed one tool box I totally agree those pricey tools are nice to have. If I only had one real nice set of wrenches I could walk a mile or so back to my shop, pick up my tool box, ask my DW to drive me back to my equipment. Oops, didn't have what I needed. Balony! Harbor Freight serves us well. I have lots of Harbor Freight tools. I have 3 roll aways in my shop full of tools. I have no big complaints with Harbor Freight tools. Just walk into a Harbor Freight in Farming and Ranching country and see how many people are buying their tools. I asked a rancher years ago, why would you possibly need 3 tractors? One would do the job. Those answers just come to you when you are doing the job yourself. :B
