Ok, white flags are flyin.

The country of origin does seem to be a problem for Harbor Freight. The sad side of it is that they keep getting people to spend hard earned pennies on it so they bring more to sell.
I would like to think all of us here could walk into the Snap On truck and buy stuff but the economics of it just don't make it a reality.
On the flip side, I do buy the throw away gloves and the on sale grinder discs and other supplies and for what I pay am satisfied with what I am getting.
