But out of stock as most of the less expensive ones are on that site. Neat setup though.Nice it has a gauge and a Air hydro jack.

They are again... On sale in the Black friday flyer. I gave up on them a while ago. I was finding the smoke in them way too often and stinking up the shop. They really stink when they expire. Typically, they get overly hot, then start slowing down accompanied with stinky smoke and finally the stop entirely. Never trip a breaker, just expire to nothing and the gearboxes are always noisy too.Sometimes I paid less than $10 for them.
The meme references the fourth producer.No doubt a lot of truth to this saying above.
Parallel to this, it has been stated that it takes, on average, 3 attempts to perfect a product.
-The inventor develops the original and needs to get it to market to recoup the investments.
-The Copycat sees a way to make it a bit better or simpler
-And the 3rd producer makes the best product as they have now had time to learn from both the producers and the consumers.
I think both perspectives have their place.
The whole purpose of this thread is to highlight some of the tools at Harbor Freight that are good VALUES. They might not be the best, but some are well worth the money. Anyone can stand back and sniff that their Snap-ons are better. Undoubtedly they are but that is not the purpose of the thread.The meme references the fourth producer.
Years ago I bought some of the cheap Pittsburgh plyers sets (needle nose, water pump, et…) to use around the house and so the kids would leave my good shop tools alone. I thought they would need replaced after a few years. Twenty years later after lots of use, they are still good tools.The whole purpose of this thread is to highlight some of the tools at Harbor Freight that are good VALUES.
