has harbor freight really been around for 20 years? wow!! everyone likes cheap stuff, i try to get most of mine used. i would rather spend more money on a wore out used tool and try to referb it than a new one from china. i have a friend who buys stuff from them. he got a sawsall that is single speed and took 20 min just to cut thru a tailpipe, a pack of jigsaw blades wouldn't even make it 2 ' before they were dull, and the vise that flew apart under the pressure of tightening it and hit my nose, and the bearing that growls so loud on his miter saw. i don't know about even for the hobbiest. i guess if it is impact sockets or something that surley the bolt will break before the socket. i would give the stand a try though if it was cheap enough, if it fails you can always beef it up of fix it, it doesn't have many things to go wrong. hr
