tBlooper ... thx fur the suggestion .... I haven’t been to Hobo in a while and there is a fine looking chick who is a cashier....

Back ATCHA with yer fiendly posts ... nutTcharger!

I beez liking my set of composite ratchets !

We both know you're a terrible tipper, too.

This could be a long one. First, I don't think a nut knows what country the wrench is from. Second, I have had very poor luck with their smaller air tools, die grinders, etc. I notice that they are coming out with new "brands" all the time. I haven't had much experience with them, but my friend's reports are good. Before thinking of any big purchase (that's over $50.00 for me) I have learned to look through YouTube, there seems to be a few honest people who review the HF tools. A few years ago, I was looking for a small lathe. I picked up an article which compared all of them HF and a few others. The article made the point that even though some were better than others (HF not at top of list) they all came from the same factory in China. The makers knew perfectly well how to build a lathe, but they built them to specs supplied by the retailer. Better specs, better machine. In the end, I bought a 1943 South Bend 9", couldn't be happier.

Y'all do what you want but the colored sockets are the chit once your eyes start playing tricks on you...

I've beat the crap out of them with zero failures...Better yet I don't have to look at it to see what size it is...

Ohhhh ya my eyes love those colored sockets.

We ? .... too ? .... .... SPEAK for yourself nutT ! ...

WE all know how cHeAp you insurance adjuster are !

You ole gEeZeRs should just get some crayons and DO UP yur regular sockets !

My mom took my Crayons away from me.

Paying at $18.79 restaurant tab with a $20 and telling them to keep the change doesn't make you a good tipper.

FIXED ... last nites meal for you ?

And TALK about HIGH JACKING a thread !

As the quality of the higher end mainland Chinese tools sold at Harbor Freight improves,
one must acknowledge that the quality of Chinese military equipment almost certainly is improving too.

You better be careful stepping into this post. You may get coronavirus. Lol.

Yes indeedy.... nutTcharger is a potential SUPER SPREADER of that ... and fur sure .... lotsa BS !

Anyone who has been around a while or is a student of history will know that shortly after WW2 imported Japanese items were "junk". But their quality continually improved while the US and much of the world continued to dismiss them. By the 80s Japanese manufactured goods and electronics were state-of-the-art and several US industries were caught napping.

I have only been shopping in HF (on occasion) for the last 15 years or so, but even a casual observer would notice that the quality of a lot of the stuff has improved noticeably. We would be wise not to dismiss all Chinese-made items as "junk" out-of-hand anymore

Shouldn't you be out berating low wage earning employees?

SEZ the cHeAp skate who just had a meal for $18.79 .....

... and paid with a 20 spot ! ...
