Harbor Freight fills a niche for professionals and DIYers that need a particular tool, but don't want to pay a premium price. The products offered are typically of lower quality and/or features than what other retailers sell. However, a consumer (like myself) doesn't always need a top-of-the-line product when a cheaper alternative will still get the job done (think hammer or pry bar). Don't get me wrong, the quality isn't terrible, just not the best money can buy. I personally have purchased a few dozen items from them and have only been disappointed once. It was a $11 item, and although HF is reputed to have a great return policy, I didn't bother sending the item back.
Shipping is a bit slow to the East Coast. Expect 7 calander days for ground shipping from CA to VA. They do offer faster shipping options, but I've never paid for them.
Overall, I like HF. I've placed several orders from them in the past and will likely place more in the future.
No unpleasant surprises. Order arrived promptly, in good shape and at an excellent price. They have an amazing array of tools and supplies at great prices. I will be back.
It was a new years surprise finding such store which offers the lowest cost tools made in durable quality. Not only that, the shipment is superfast! Im looking forward to purchase another awesome low cost tools from them. You just made an additional Loyal Coming Back Customer!
I love Harbor Freight. They have fancy tools for me and great garden gifts for my wife. I just ordered a paint gun - works easily and gets the work done in no time.
