I bought a creeper there for $20. So far it's awesome for scooting around doing the wiring under my layout rebuild. Figure it needs to last as long as the rebuilding process.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll be heading there in the morning.
My wife says she likes to sit and watch the expressions of the men who come out of Harbor Freight as they almost always have a smile like they were coming out of a Fancy House !! A big smile.!!
Was there yesterday & bought a few odds & ends.

Now I've got to drive over and take a look. Maybe they still have some. 
I agree,some of the stuff is good for what it is.Some is complete junk.Have to use your judgement.Originally Posted by Laidoffsick:
I have many tools from there, usually tools that don't require heavy duty usage, or used just a few times. I have a bench top belt/disc sander that gets used a lot and never had a problem. Their air eraser comes in real handy for stripping and weathering, but not a tool that gets used a lot. Of course their dual action air brush is a favorite...for $20 you can't beat it, even if they are disposable after leaving them sit around for months after using them.
I agree that most of their stuff is junk, but the store and their tools do have a purpose. The 2 wheel blue dolly I bought 10 years ago for $50 was the best $50 I ever spent on anything. That thing has saved my back 1000 times and been borrowed by friends and family a plenty.
It's kind of like going to Costco for me, I can't get out of there under $100 on stuff I didn't plan on buying!

Perfectly stated. There are some "diamonds in the rough" at HF, but there is also plenty of junk. You simply have to know which is which.
