I live 1 mile from Harbor Freight and over the years have seen their non sale prices skyrocket. I don't even go there unless I have a coupon for something. A good example is their Rotary Hammer which used to retail at around $85 & on sale for $50. It now retails for $200 & on sale for $90. Another example is the Metal cutting saw blade which is $20 which I used to buy for $9.
I can get grease etc. cheaper at Freightliner than HF.
Their shipping rates are darn good though.
FWIW, I use a Bosch 1/2" hammer drill. I've had it for years and it will bore 5/8" holes in old concrete to a depth of 12" or so all day long. I use Amana metal cutting circular blades. Both of these cost 5 X what the comparable HF item costs. They also last 10X as long.
For small hand tools and expendables, HF is a good source. I really like their digital calipers and small infrared heat grabber.
