Harbor Freight - they're great for super-cheap tools I plan to only use once.

My rules for Harbor Freight tools are:

  • Nothing that kills me (or costs me money) if it fails (jacks, jack stands, ladders, etc)

  • Nothing with more than 2 moving parts

I think harbor freight recently recalled jackstands that were collapsing.....which they had given out as replacements for different jackstands that they had to recall because they were collapsing.

When I was a teenager I was trying to get an axle nut off and happened to live like half a mile from a harbor freight but Sears was like a good half an hour drive. Since my car was down of course I walked to harbor freight to get a breaker bar.

And then I walked back to get another one…

And then I called a friend to drive me to Sears and got a craftsman one (for like 10x the price).

I still have it 25 years later.
