If you are careful....
....You can get good deals at Harbor Freight.
In some cases they charge higher prices for name brand items. Irwin clamps is a good example. They handle Irwin clamps but you can buy then anywhere for the same price that HF charges.
And admittedly some of their items are low in quality.
But I have several items from HF which are useful quality and very inexpensive.
Also, for the last fifteen years, I have worked out of offices which were difficult to secure and so when I bought tools for those locations, I went to Harbor freight because the tools were inexpensive and the loss would be minimal should they be stolen.
