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

I have bought several items from HF and been pleased with the performance. I do collision repair and use several of their hand tools and sockets on a daily basis. I turned to them when I kept breaking my snap on ratchets regularly and sockets splitting. I have had no prob with their sockets at all, since I have went with Kobalt and Stanley ratchets they are cheap and decent for daily use. Besides our local snap on dealer is always on hold with snap on corporate because no one around here can afford to pay him lately and if i need something I have to wait 3-6 months for him to be able to order it. Just bought new snap on creeper 4 months ago and its split in half. I cant afford to keep buying snap on tools or having them rebuilt for that matter. Cost me $135 to get my $380 Snap on 3/8 air ratchet redone and it still isnt right. Thats rediculous. So I will use tools I can afford to put food on the table for my kids and keep a light on and a roof over our heads.
