As long as it doesn’t have a motor, it works well-enough to get the job done

¢/RPM is an incredible unit of measure. We should sort all tools like this.
For the adrenaline junkies out there.
I rarely shop there. It all has to do with the answer to the question, will I ever need this tool again?
The way I was taught to think of Harbor Freight is to buy a tool you aren’t sure you’ll need from them. If you use it until it breaks you know that it’s something you need/will use and you should spend the money to get a quality version. If you don’t use it until it breaks then you’re just out a little bit of money.
Yep, their power tools are dirt cheap, so if you manage to break them, no big deal. But a lot of them are pretty good quality.
I got a tile wet saw for a lot cheaper than any of the other big box stores, and it’s been a champ for home renovation tasks.
