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.

You get what you pay for. On the other side of the coin, You don't always need a Lincoln Town Car, sometimes a Ford Focus will do the job. Case in point, I have an $80 air compressor that has been working just fine for about 10 years, but I only need it a few times a month for mundane tasks. Same for my cut-off saw, air nailer, drill press, 2-ton jack, etc. My cordless tools are Makita, Dewalt, or Ryobi, I use them a lot.
Harbor Freight will still get my money, I know when I walk in the door that the stuff is cheap quality, (THAT'S WHY IT'S CHEAP) :S, but if I pay $20 for something & it lasts me for 5 years, then i'm way ahead of the game, rather than paying $300.00 for an item for something to do the same job, that may, or may not last as long.If it only lasts 2 weeks, then i'm only out $20.
