Shopping at Harbor Freight

Re: Shopping at Harbour Freight

Don't worry about it. You're not missing out on any thing. There are some decent buys at Harbor freight, along with a bunch of junk, and lately even a few decent tools that are way over priced. But there are no must haves at Harbor freight. I think you guys in Europe that are jonesing for Harbor Freight would be seriously dissapointed if you visited a store. The only thing that is truly unique about Harbor Freight is the smell.

Those free microfiber cloths are a must have from HF.

How good are the blue screwdrivers with strike plates?

Again, I really appreciate your answers guys! And now I have changed my mind (but it would be nice visiting a HF if I will visit the US sometime). Here in Sweden we have the company Biltema (biltema.se) i suppose that is "our" HF.

Anyways, did order some more stuff from Facom, Bacho, Wera, Tekton, Led Lenser and Bondhus will try to post some pics when it arrives.

fantastic. not sure how well they hold up as serious pry bars but for general work and using the striker to shock a fastener they work pretty good and have been holding up for me. i've had mine a few years and a bunch of my buddys have picked them up as well.

I found some brands to be good value for the money over here in Europe. Some brands are cheaper than others and you still have to choose what's good for you, but I've been happy with most of the stuff I bought from them.
