    The way I was taught to think of Harbor Freight is to buy a tool you aren’t sure you’ll need from them. If you use it until it breaks you know that it’s something you need/will use and you should spend the money to get a quality version. If you don’t use it until it breaks then you’re just out a little bit of money.

      Yep, their power tools are dirt cheap, so if you manage to break them, no big deal. But a lot of them are pretty good quality.

      I got a tile wet saw for a lot cheaper than any of the other big box stores, and it’s been a champ for home renovation tasks.
