I have a few items from Harbor Freight, and for the most part I am happy with them. Bought a 10" sliding compound miter saw for 99 dollars about 7 years ago, it still works, not as fast or as prety as a DeWalt but the dewalt is about 500, and I am not a carpenter so there is no way I would use one enough to pay for the dewalt. When I worked in a textile mill I bought 2 sets of the Pittsburg Forge combination wrenches, used them for years never had one to break. I think they are too big and thick to work on any newer cars with, but they worked for me in that job. I bought a 125lb Russian made anvil for less than 1 dollar a pound, the chinese version was 1.10 per pound. Just as has been already said some tools are worth it and some are not.
