re: Favorite Power Tools Brand?

It’s easier to day what I don’t have: Fes Tool and Ryobi.

In power tools, that saying “I can’t afford cheap” seems a good saying to adopt. However, I do have Harbor Freight bar clamps by the dozen.

On the cheaper tools, I’d be a hypocrite and snob to run them down. They got me started so many years ago, then again, after I went through the “getting single” thing.

Back in the day, a crappy Craftsman jig saw was about as good as it got and I just had to live with replacing a couple a year, until I got my first Bosch.

On the other hand, I’ve bought Harbor Freight stuff, thinking I’d kill it on the job on which I was using it, only to find that ugly little think just kept going and going, until I gave it to a kid just starting out (after an upgrade, of course).
