Harbor Freight sells a lot of junk but if you shop carefully some deals can be found.
Their impact socket set is pretty good stuff. I have friends who use them commercially and they hold up. Mine sure do. They’re also a good place to get tools you just need to get one job done.
Example, I needed a sliding miter saw to do a floor... theirs is like half the price of a DeWalt or other good one. I didn’t need super accuracy. And it had a no-questions warranty, bring it back to the store and they hand over a new one.
So I did my floor, took it back and traded for a new-in-the-box one which I sold on craigslist.
For cordless stuff I go Milwaukee because they have the widest range of tools for their batteries.

I'd like to think I'd have more self-respect than to post that. At least I know where to find your picture: in the dictionary under "Sleazy".
On reflection I think this must be a joke, nobody would admit to doing that. I guess I really bit on this one.
