harbor freight is kind of a crap shoot. Sometimes one tool is good, while the one next to it is a complete dud. I have had relatively good success with their pneumatic tools. I bought a 1/2" drive impact, at first it would barely turn over. I ended up taking it apart and polishing things and generally cleaning it up, now it works pretty good. It seems their wrenches and socket sets have improved greatly over the years. Since the store is about 2 blocks down the street, I go there frequently. As far as the lithium batteries, they are indeed a wonderful item, but if you possess any concern whatsoever for the environment. Look up lithium mining.
