Harbor Freight Tool

In case no one's mentioned it yet, some of the items you can buy at Harbor Freight are the exact same items Eastwood sells for 3-4 times the price. Paint stands, welding cart, a lot of their small welding supplies... I fell for Eastwood at first, buying some of their stuff, but then when I walked into HF and saw the identical things (even packaged the same), I wised up to them quick.

By the way, I got that same welding cart at Menard's for $40. HF sells it usually (on sale) for $50 and Eastwood for $60. Identical product in every way.

The "Professional" series composite air tools I've bought seem to work fine and made well for the price. On sale you can pick them up for $15-$20 each, which I think is a good value. I just got a couple of the metal-bodied ones on sale for $8 each and they don't seem to be made very well, we'll see. (usually I buy good tools, but for a few seldom-used ones, I'm taking a chance on the cheapies).
