    My Harbor Freight Investment

    I can see on a ratchet, but tell me on a 10 mm socket, what is the difference? I had a HF brad nailer, I got rid of it pretty fast and changed over to a bostitch. The reason, the nailer would begin to jam if left in the hot sun for a bit. SO in some tools, yeah you can tell the difference...

    My Harbor Freight Investment

    Excellent point. If the wrench does not fail, how can 1 wrench vs another wrench take 5 minutes longer. The point is valid on some specialized diag tools but not basic hand tools. I'm sure if I was a mechanic reaching in and grabbing an expensive tool feels just tons better when other people...

    The real reason, it is made in China!/India

    New Job as Tech.

    And the people with the biggest investments into their jobs make the least and get crapped on the most. How much do you think the finance guy has invested into his position? When and if they fire his ***, all he needs is a cardboard box to clean out his desk. When we leave, most of us need to...

    what do you think of this deal

    Yeah, this is the one OC. They are truck brand speciality tools. No price to wiggle on this. It is loaded, but I did want to part it. Most of the stuff would be sets like the screwdrivers, some of the wrench sets and most of the specialty stuff.The size is a bit big, but I can actuall fit...
