Default Re: Harbor freight sale

I said I would never buy another Chinese product again, but when I needed a hammer drill to drill about 20 holes for shelf supports in a concrete wall I bought one for under $20 at HF. May never use it again but it sure worked fine that afternoon. But ANYTHING I plan on keeping for a while I still try to buy USA! Gettin harder and harder to do.

I dunno I've bought and use some made in usa stuff and its crap. We have 2 hand dollies at work and both have a big ol usa flag and says made in usa in like 26 font on them and they are the most crooked welded goober welded things I've ever had to use (brand new...) they still use the Chinese harbor freight tires so I really wonder what one part they attached to claim made in USA....maybe they painted it here and slid the wheel and cotter pins on??? Its a big marketing scam as very little is made here and what is is usually prison labor working for $0.71/hr. (alot of your call centers are)

But yes I love HF tools for those maybe twice in a lifetime jobs.

Rumor has it that China renamed a city to "USA" so that they can say that items are "made in USA" "winky winky".
