Re: The Good, The Bad and Ugly from Harbor Freight

They are great for buying one-time or rarely used items. I'm happy with the bearing race/seal driver set I got there.

I don't buy anything with an electric motor from them, and I've had bad results from consumables like cutting blades/etc. so I don't buy those anymore.

Some things are unbeatable though. When they have their full-face protectors on sale for $2.99 I usually get an armload. When they get scratched up, I use another. They have multimeters for $3.99 -- cheaper than you can replace the batteries. I have several of these stored all over.

Their prices on casters and wheels are unbeatable, and I haven't had trouble with any I've bought so far.

I also have a sandblast cabinet, and a pressurized sandblaster and am happy with both.
