    Recently had a workmate whom hadn't changed the spark plugs on his 200k F150 due to them being a PIA to get to. Truck was misfiring and he was ready to trade in a perfectly fine truck that just needs some maintenance. Long story short.... Convinced him to let me wrench on it during our lunch break and got them swapped.

    Anyways, people like to knock on Harbor Freight but my portable toolbox is full of Harbor Freight Ratchets and wobble extensions. After having some tools stolen from my truck I leave my nicer tools in my larger toolbox at home and carry cheaper Husky and Harbor Freight now. And to be honest, while not the best quality, I love getting use out of them and have no doubt that they'll be more than sufficient should I ever break down on the road.

    Not everything from Horrible Freight is bad. I have a complete set of impact sockets, 20 ton press, floor jack, and a tune bender from them. Next purchase from them is gonna be pry bar set. So far, the impact sockets just need to be polished on the inside, had to trade in first floor jack cuz the wheels flew off but second one is strong, and tube bender needs the dies polished for it to work good.

    Share your bad experience so we can all learn.
    And don't forget photos if you have them, some of us learn more from pictures than words.
