Builder is right. HF is cool to me. I got a 24" crescent wrench for 17 bucks and a 15" for 6.99 (she rang that one up wrong). They are pittsburgh brand, liftime warranty (if I pay shipping), but anyway...I will probably use these wrenches about...2X a year, each time will make it worth the cheap price, and they look cool hanging up...HUGE. Power tools---yep they are cheapies...but they are priced cheap as well. I have no complaints about HF. You get what you pay for, and if you buy cheap stuff, you can be careful and make it work. I love cheap stuff. I need to stop typing. And come on guys, lets all have happy thoughts/discussions on here. If you hate harbor freight, I won't get mad at you--it saves more deals for me. And if you have a chevy, ford, gmc...whatever---it is ok with me too. "can't we all just get along?" Anyway--I also have a hand full of 3 jawed pullers from there that collectively cost me under 20 bucks..and they got me out of a few jams. I bent my gear puller I got from there, but I was cranking on it really hard so.... about the plasma cutter---if you arne't going to use it everyday till the end of time, geta cheap one and treat it like royalty so it will last a while. Keep it inside a warm heated place in the winter etc....you'll be fine. Good luck.
