Harbor Freight shop equipment

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Shawn,
 
I've been more than happy with my General press drill. The one thing I
really love with it is the pedal adapter that I got with it. I can use both
hands to hold my work and use my foot to drill. It's really convenient for
pinblocks (for those who drill outside the piano).

Well well well, its about that time for me.  The fun time of choosing shop
equipment!  I have looked at Harbor Freight for lots of hours now and its
decision time for me.  Do any of you have any experience with Harbor Freight
tools?  If so what is the tool and what did you think?  I'm interested in
power tools.  A drill press, dust collector, bandsaw, grinder, router, disk
and belt sander.  I understand a lot of you folks like the grizzly products
and they do sound good, but I just cant stand to do the hole mail order
thing.  I like to put my hands on the product.  The hand tools I have bought
from Hf do an okay job for me.  Some things they have dont look so hot but
others work well.  So before investing a lot of money I want to get a few
opinions on these products from someone who has used them.  With Harbor
Freight locations popping up all over the U.S one needs to know what to
expect from the tools they push.  Thanks for any thoughts on this subject.
Oh... and one more thing.  I cant afford to brake the bank on this deal.  I
know you get what you pay for but this will be my first shop.  I just need
something that will do the job and last for a little while.  Thanks again.
