    Re: harbor freight tools that really suck

    the "C" clamps are junk. in fact most all of their clamps suck. those little items they have on tables pretty much all suck. those cheap ass angle grinders aren't worth throwing away but you can get a bunch of em' at once for the price of a good one and toss em' when they start to grenade a bearing and become friggin dangerous. they sound like a bearing's wore out when they're new. their little electric winches are a real piece of chit. spend more dinero and just get a real one. that's an item they don't even ask questions about when you take it back when it doesn't work. they know already. i threw one away in the damn bushes when it wouldn't work when i got inconvenienced in a silt bed at the 500 this year. it was the only time i've ever been stuck when there was a huge pine tree sitting right in front of me and the POS winch wouldn't work..

    Anything they sell thats rechargeable sucks... I got a cordless drill as a gift from there. You couldnt just leave the battery on the charger. you had to take it off after it was fully charged or you would wreck it. then it ran out really fast... I exchanged it after a few days.

    If you use the 1/2 breaker bar make sure that you weld the socket to the handle. It sucks when you snap the end off !!! Not changing flat tires cus I run BFG and don't get flats.
