Harbor Freight Tools...good or bad?

[j760]

I have not had any problem with anything I've purchased from Harbor Freight. And that includes power tools. I pay a lot less than I would at the big box stores, and the tools get the job done. I might not have the big brand name on them, but I couldn't care less, as long as they work, and so far so good from Harbor Freight.

My parents have bought 2 weed wackers from Home Depot that haven't even lasted a year each. Where did you get yours and what brand is it? Is it gas or electric?

I need to get rid of a lot of ivy on a steep hill. Thats where I'll be using it the most because I don't have any lawn to take care of...yipee

My DH just bought a sStihl gas week wacker from a locally owned farm and home supply store and is very happy with it. we looked at the big box stores and believe it or not, their Stihls are NOT the same quality. Don't know how they sell them but they do. I would pay the extra dollars and know that if you HAD to take it for repair or replacement, you can talk to the owner and probably get a reasonalble deal for the item. Just our two cents though.
