I have some personal rules for Harbor Freight:
1) Nothing my life depends on (jacks, jack stands, etc.)
2) Nothing I need to rely on to work day in and day out
3) No consumables (I once bought sandpaper and the wood I was "sanding" took the abrasive off the paper!)
Times I always buy at Harbor Freight
1) Need an odd tool that I'll use once like a 6" diameter hole saw.
2) A specialty tool that will be very expensive elsewhere such as battery terminal cable crimpers or a porta-power.
3) When I need to modify a tool. Like, buy a 1" combo wrench, cut it in half, weld it to a 3 foot bar.
4) Tool sets that are awesome to have on hand but rarely get used like a metric crow's foot set.
5) When I simply cant justify spending 3x to 5x to by the good stuff, like my 56" rolling Harbor Freight tool chest.
