    Re: harbor freight tools that don't suck

    Could be really short. haha. But I've had a 3/8" air angle drill, & 1/2" air gear drive reversible drill. Had them both for 17 years, though neither get used much any more, they still work well. Everything else I've had, sucked bad! Drill press wasn't that bad for 1/2" & smaller holes.

    I liked my 2 ton aluminum jack, but of course it went flying out of the truck while prerunning the 500.

    One tool I always load up on there is the step drill bits. Yeah they're cheap but they still work and the pricey ones don't seem to work much better IMO.

    Their little 40" sheetmetal break gets small jobs done ok.

    I have an engine hoist and engine stand that perform just fine as well.
