HF is in business, not a charity. What they have been doing is smart for them, ***** for some. But I appreciate that high end tools and welder offerings. But shul they have the base line for those who want the cheapest.
Thanks! Yes the badges and stickers I got on eBay for about $35. Most people (not people on this forum) probably wouldn't think twice that it's not a real snappy box.
It's illegial. They are getting strict on counterfit imported goods at ship yards. Seizures. I don't think there is much margin on heavy hard to make tools compared to designer makeup, clothing, purses, etc.
They are getting fakes to be really good in certain areas. Almost Impossible to tell...
Yes I was being sarcastic about my harbor freight comment. I like the company. I just thought it would be neat/ funny to rename the boxes for cosmetic purposes. It's like owning a fake rolex, to each his own.
I have two separate socket trays. One is a lock a socket, the other is a Craftsman tray. Both work fantastic. Each have their own benefit, thelock a socket tray is much better quality and heavier but the Craftsman tray is more economical and slightly more compact and efficient
I wouldn't be caught dead with a Harbor Freight box.:bounce: That said I am very happy with the construction and sliders of these new orange boxes. It's also very nice having a large countertop to work on. Here are some more pictures.
The badges I got off ebay for about 35 dollars. And stickers...
