Some people seem to take great pride in not owning Harbor Freight stuff. Thats fine, Nothing wrong with that. I just think when shopping, you should not discount any store just because of name. I own some Harbor Freight stuff and it has worked well for my needs. Why spend $80 for a name brand Heat Gun when the Harbor Freight $10 gun works very well, Again for my needs. For a painter it may be junk. But for me to heat some shrink tubing, doing small electrical projects on my car or lawn equipment, it's just the ticket.
I purchased a Harbor Freight gear type wrench for the arbor nut on my JET cabinet saw. $14 and it seems to be very good quality. Anyone that wants to spend the big $$$ for a Snap-On for the same purpose, knock yourself out. I just rather spend the money I saved on something for the family like dinner out or a movie.
