Harbor Freight stuff is pretty good for hand tools and tools that you only occasionally use.. I am not sure I would trust Harbor Freight for electronics or power tools...!! Awhile back I was there and they actually had a car lift. Supposedly Harbor Freight is going to open a new location in SD somewhere soon.

And I didn't see any empty shelf tags either. A few years ago, I got a 600W (1800W Peak) at Harbor Freight Tools for about $85, and it has served me quite well. It has outlasted other inverters twice the capacity (at nearly twice the price) from other places. Last I looked, they were selling a 700W or 750W (2100W or 2250W peak) inverter for about the same price, same brand too IIRC. (They have other capacity inverters, but I wasn't paying much attention to those.) I associate Harbor Freight with low quality on a lot of things, but more than a few things have served me quite well. Low quality or not, their prices are hard to beat. I got a very good quality 6" dial caliper (.001" increment) for about $12 on sale (I think about $18 regular price). It looks and feels identical to others I've seen selling for $50 or more. -- Ralph -------------------- The spelling of words is subordinate.
