Default Re: Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Another one is their 3/4" rotary hammer drill. It was on sale for under 40 bucks.
I bought one for one use ... to drill a bunch of large deep holes into a granite boulder. I needed to crack the top off it. Although I've never owned a good brand name, this one worked great and got done what I needed. The quality is not great, and I wasn't planning on keeping it forever, but my neighbor is using it right now to do the same with some boulders he has.

Another one is their 12" sliding compound miter saw (laser guide) which I got for under 100 bucks on sale. The laser on it is not very good but the saw is great, especially for the few home and hobby jobs I had. Again, it's not professional grade, but for the once in a while homeowner jobs like I have, it will last me a lifetime. I thought the quality on it is pretty good.

I keep an eye on their special sales and sometimes these items come up for a really, really good price.
