Pittsburgh tools for the win
I just bought these the other day because I find that I just can't have too many sockets.

Those sockets are a bargain. And I have to control myself every time I see that tool cart on sale.

I bought one for my job. Works great! I often have to travel and throw the whole cart in the van. Had it for three years now. Now I'm not working on rusty stuff at work, so that helps a lot. All of the tools in it are from HF too. 1/4" ratchet set, wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, etc The places I visit are jealous of the tool cart. I may have removed the US General stickers and installed a Snap On sticker. LMAO but most don't have the first clue and comment that they wish they had one.

People need to stop comparing then to Snap On, Mac, etc. They aren't the same. We all know it. But for single use tools, or stuff that isn't going to be abused, or odd balls that just won't get much use. They are so worth it. I have the three ton Daytona yellow floor jack. LOVE it! Should'nt have waited so long to get one

I manage an Auto parts store in a small town, and they, Harbor Freight, are trying to recruit me. "We will give you a 2% raise over what you are making now".....

Wow a whole 2 percent?! Ask them if they'll throw in a box of animal crackers too!

I would not want to work in a HF. Coal tar rubber is probably unhealthy.

I think HF saturated the market, so they have launched their version of Lexus, Infiniti and Acura. I do like the polished combo wrenches. And the color-coded/coated sockets are helpful as the eyeballs age.

I use HFT quite often I've been disappointed (almost every CP air tool) and also pretty happy. I bought spot weld bits that break constantly but if its within 90 days they return it no ??. Im pretty sure this goes for anything. I haven't tried to return flap disc, cut of wheels etc but im tempted. My favorite has to be the 10$ angle grinders i got 3. And they got electric da sanders(80) and a body saw(25) now I might try. The 25%off is basically useless and if your an inside Track member you have to memorize the coupons because there not in the computer. You have to tell the cashier whats on sell. Its kind of PITA.

I have bought and used quite a bit of their stuff over the years. I used their cheap purple HVLP paint guns to paint my Regal and their disposable cups are a good deal. Their DA polishers and foam pads are good too. However, their spotweld cutters are junk.
