Harbor Freight is having a sale on their Drill Master brand rotary tool. $6.99, good till the 19th. http://www.harborfreight.com/80-piece-rotary-tool-kit-97626.html?ccdenc=eyJjb2RlIjoiMjk4MTA3NjgiLCJza3UiOiI5NzYyNiIsImlzIjoiNi45OSIsInByb2R1Y3RfaWQi OiI0Mzk2In0= &utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1017a&utm_source=1011&cid=mEmail_s1011_c1017a
And in the trash by the 20th, HF electric tools are generally poor in quality. But at $7 just the tools with it make it a deal.
Depends on the tool. I have a HF $29 reciprocating saw that demo'd an entire deck and is still going strong. I always check the user reviews before deciding on a HF purchase. To HF's credit, they do seem to keep all reviews, both positive and negative posted.
HF is very hit and miss. Some stuff works great, some stuff doesn't. Their reciprocating saw, multi-function tool, belt/disc combo sanders and hand-held belt sander all have worked great for me and are still going strong. Their low end palm sander, on the other hand, is sadly underpowered, and the batteries on their cordless drills are terrible - the last one I bought didn't last 1 month even with very light use. I won't buy cordless drills there anymore. Like Steve said, check the reviews before buying...
If its in the trash a day after you buy it, you threw away 7$. Take it back to HF and get a new one. Harbor Fright is cheap for a reason. Always check the tool for proper functionality ASAP, return it for a different one if its jacked up. My experience with HF is that if its actually assembled right and works correctly, it'll do so for a while if you respect the limitations of the tool (they're consumer grade, no pro stuff).
I love how their ads highlight '3 star rating!' and similar - they know some of their stuff is crap and they're honest about it
Yes Sir I do that all the time, keep your receipt. I bought a tree pole saw, didn't last 12 branches, returned and replaced without issue the next day. But back to the point of what you get for your dollar, HF is very good in general. But I never get by with less than $100 per visit.
Never ever go to HF without checking this page out first. There is always a 20% off coupon here. http://www.harborfreight.com/digitalsavings.html
