Visited Harbor Freight this very am. Near 30 people buying stuff in the store. Sadly, you can't say that about Craftsman purchases at a Sears location. And some things you can buy their new high end Icon line, and replace it twice(?)and still not hit Snap-On price.

[@BuildALotAcres]

Yes sir. I used to like going to Sears. It’s a real shame. Harbor Freight is the tool store i go to the most honestly.

[@billmccabe9601]

@@BuildALotAcres yes, I as well. There is not much difference in quality between HF and Menard's MasterForce stuff, except a lower price.

The brushless line for the Bauer tools is supposed to be a major improvement from the entry offerings which i have the 1/2 drill driver and the 1/2 inch impact gun

Thanks Case, you have a great weekend, and I like the sawmill shed.

[@BuildALotAcres]

Thank you sir 🙏

I live in Canada but we have a store that looks similar called Princess Auto. Some stuff is not bad and some of it is just cheap junk. Then again there are some jobs that I wouldn't want to use a good tool on. I'm thinking if I was building a warf and didn't want to drop an expensive tool into the water. A cheaper disposable tool that will last the job would be fine. I have a princess auto creeper in my crawl space that I use when I get stuff. It holds the boxes and wheels around so it's good enough. If I were a professional mechanic I know I'd have a better one for every day use.

[@BuildALotAcres]

I've heard of Princess Auto before. I believe it is pretty similar to Harbor Freight. Good post 👍

I always had the pinion that the tools were junk, but over the last two years I have started to buy some tools from there. Some of the stuff I bought there has been great while other things have had questionable usability. That being said, I like you do so many different things and can't afford to buy all high end tools to get jobs done so in that respect I really like harbor freight. Thanks for the video!

[@BuildALotAcres]

Yes sir. They definitely have a place in the market.

[@user-zt1rv5ye5e]

my neighbor bought hf and he was always taking them back he bought a angle grinder and replaced it multiple times while my dewalt is still running strong and thats been many years ago when I bought it you get what you pay for

[@BuildALotAcres]

It really depends on the tool. I’ve had pretty good luck with their recent stuff. 20 years ago their power tools were junk. How long ago are you talking?

[@GardenTractorBoy]

We cannot get Harbor Freight over here but we do have a couple of similar companies

[@BuildALotAcres]

That’s cool Joseph. Maybe someday they’ll venture to the UK

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Sir, I'm trying very hard to find tool that are made from NATO countries ( Europe, North America ), Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India have 1th class tool makers too. Yes prize is also a very important factor 🥴Thank you very for your OUTSTANDING Informative Video Cheers 🍻🍻( great ending comment Sir ) 👍👌😇

[@BuildALotAcres]

Thanks Dave. It’s a different world we live in today for sure. Like you said though, these countries are also capable of making outstanding products.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@BuildALotAcres 👍👍😇😇👌👌🍻🍻

[@user-zt1rv5ye5e]

oh buy the way I dont care where there made I care about the quality I pay more but they last

[@jayteague3634]

I think this video needs more thumbs up! This is all true and I agree to everything that was said in this video.

[@BuildALotAcres]

Thank you very much. Appreciate it 🙏

[@firewoodathome]

If you understand that we are not buying heirloom tools or you need a seldom used one, most times they are fine. Especially at the price point.

[@BuildALotAcres]

Yes sir. The days of heirloom tools being bought new….I’m afraid….are over.

[@wormer66]

@@BuildALotAcres idk my jet drill press i just bought is pretty quiet and has some fairly tight tolerances compared to other brands ive bought

[@BuildALotAcres]

@@wormer66 I believe Jet tools are made in Taiwan. I’m glad you are liking your drill press.

[@grammymae8481]

100% truth

[@RenegadesGarage]

BuildALot Acres.. I have that exact creeper but it doesn't say Pittsburgh on it. It says OEM Tools and it probably cost more but I bet it's made in the same factory as yours. I didn't buy mine I won it in a giveaway.

[@BuildALotAcres]

Very cool. I think a lot of items are made in the same factories and re branded.

[@RenegadesGarage]

@@BuildALotAcres Yes sir I think you're right.
