Hmmm...this is new

Had a situation recently where I needed my Sawzall for a project and realized that a friend that I had lent it to still had it.
Went to rent one, got the price and then thought of Harbor Freight...
They had a 6 Amp knockoff on sale for $19, which was less than the rental. Finished the project and the tool still works fine.
So there's that...

Why not call that friend and tell that you need your tool back right away to do your own project?

This is the one I've seen. My Jeep group used to go to trail riding events. I carried Harbor Freight tools for the "honest" folk that borrow your tools when they don't have any.

Looks like Harbor Freight is going the path of the dollar stores , a store on every corner . We now have 3 stores within a 20 minute drive in different directions. About six years ago, it was a two hour drive for a trip to the nearest store . We used to make about Two trips a year , now it's several stops a month on average .

Not uncommon in Texas. We just got our first local store a year or two ago. Candy store for me. Not everything is junk.

Many HF ads around here (CT & NY). I have a couple of their tools which have lasted, both air-powered (needler and air chisel). Had electric HF beforehand, which always quickly failed, just like they did for my best friend.

I also have a couple of their (large & smaller) air powered needle scalers. They work well.
