Figured I'd start this to help someone else find some gems at the good ol' Harbor Freight! What do you guys like that you regularly or one time bought from there?
My favorites: - Their vehicle jacks - Nylon zip ties - Grinding wheels - Tiny spring clips for plastic bags in the kitchen - Corded 1/2" drive electric impact wrench (if you don't have air) - 21mm deep impact socket. c: - I have a tool cart that I got for Christmas one year and it works GREAT! --------------------  2000 GT-S 6 SPD...

The cheapest I'd go for tools was the Craftsmen stuff made in the U.S. since at least it was actually decent, and had the lifetime warranty. The only time anything ever broke was when it was used in a way you really weren't supposed to use it, and then Sears replaced it no questions asked. You do get what you pay for though as with most anything else in life. That said anything from Harbor Freight or a parts house brand I've never been impressed with, just cheap junk not worth a damn. At least the Craftsmen stuff was good to get started with and lasts. Of course now I don't think they're even around or if so it's probably made where all the other cheap crap is made.
