Harbor Freight Tools... Inverter Generator

Few things are as frustrating as finding a hundred dollars pair of dykes get dull just as fast as a pair of twenty dollar Crescent dykes. Yeah a Snap-Off ratchet is great - until it isn't. And when it isn't is when the Snap-Off truck is in the next county. No tool is immune. My twenty dollar made-in-Germany WiHa screwdriver snapped like a Loyal Hummmingbird brand screwdriver on a screw in a new Square D breaker box. I had to do the job with a Chinese screwdriver in a live box. almost 500 volts, 100-amps. I have encountered many almost new Honda and Yamaha generators that would not start (parts failed). My TWENTY DOLLAR Kitchen Aid hand operated CAN OPENER RUSTED JAMMED in less than six months. Solid corrosion on shafts, and disc cutter. Not even KROIL would free it.

So picking on Harbor Freight is easy. I sarcastically label them HARBOR FRIGHT. But it isn's so funny when you buy a CRAFTSMAN hand wrench that costs six times as much as discover it is JUNK. Open end jaws that open wide, box end side that snaps open or rounds off a caterpillar brand bolt.
