Harbor freight deserves our respect for trying to keep us cheap guys in the game.

They don't give a shit about me or you, or anyone else. They just saw an opportunity to slide into a market gap, and do a better job than anyone else. They do have the price to performance market on a lot of stuff, but they don't deserve any more props for their business than Strap-on does. It's not compassion, it's a thriving business.

Everyone always rags on Harbor Freight tools... but they really are the best bang for the buck and they do hold up reasonably well. You would have spent $10,000 on the same tools from one of the box trucks and they wouldn't have done the job any better.

A young guy getting started can pull together a few hundred bucks and get a starter set like this. Then once they are getting a paycheck they can sit aside a little money from each check to buy the things they find out they need or to buy better versions of the stuff they have if something breaks or the better quality is going to increase comfort or productivity.

We built in 2 HF 42” tool boxes into the bench work in my son’s garage renovation back in March 2015. They have been heavily used in a DIY scenario building and maintaining a race car and daily driver cars/trucks ever since and we have had absolutely NO problems with build quality. Also have several HF floor jacks and other hand tools and a HF tool cart in the enclosed car hauler with a duplicate set of tools for the track. We have a mix of Kobalt, Craftsman, and HF hand tools, floor jacks, jack stands and Milwaukee power tools in both the garage and car hauler! No problems with any of these brands in the last 9 years! In my experience there is nothing wrong with HF tools! Although, some of the super cheap tools are just that, cheap, and not worth buying, luckily they have a range of good,better,best to choose from! We also have had the Predator generator for about 6 or 7 years that has worked flawlessly at track weekends with minimal maintenance!

Not sure if you’re a Inside Track Club member at harbor freight or not. But it’s worth it! It’s $30 for a year membership. Those boxes go on sale for ITC members all the time, Hercules has “buy this battery get a tool free” sales too. The membership fee pays itself off in one purchase. You can save tons of money with the membership and coupons. Essential if you shop HF often

Started my career with an expensive at the time, Craftsman set with the tool box included, in October, 1986 for the on sale price at $880. I am still using these tools today and they are older than most of the new technicians I am working with. A lot of them are going to Harbor freight for some of those same tools but, you always have the one guy that must have Snap-On everything. He is also the guy with a second job to just pay for the tools.

I do more home building than auto work and use the yellow power tools. The HIgh end stuff is better if you are going to spend 4 to 8 hours doing nothing but drive screws into wood, and you will see the blue tools die out much faster. However for auto mechanic work the tools are run for much much shorter periods of time and the HF stuff will do just fine. I am also a huge fan of start cheap and go high end when you break the cheap stuff.

Where are the impact sockets?! ;) That’s what got me when I built essentially the same set at the end of 2022. They discounted the Quinn Master Tech set for Black Friday then accidentally gave me the new credit discount TWICE. I negotiated deep down on the tool cart since it was damaged and they needed to meet some quota for Inside Track signups. Since I needed landscaping equipment on the same battery platform I went with DeWALT instead of Hercules but I was really tempted. The Quinn 1/2” Master impact socket set was a bit rich for my blood so I waited and hit it with a 25% off coupon.
