At $2 or so apiece, it really doesn’t take long to get frustrating. A couple weeks back I burnt up 3 cut-off wheels in no time cutting stakes out of rebar. Even the good ones are gone way too fast. Grinding and cut off wheels don’t last long. You take something measured on a $150+ Starrett with an accuracy rating of +/-.0001, and something measured with a $14.99 HF caliper (also with an accuracy rating of +/-.0001) and I bet you can’t tell the difference. But if your needs are a little less about NASA level precision and a little more about really damn close, the HF digital calipers are a really great value. This system was NOT built using HF meaning equipment. They shoot atoms and things at each other through a tube several miles long, to produce particle collisions at 70% the speed of light, to produce things I can’t pronounce, for purposes I don’t understand. In Batavia, IL there is a lab called FermiLab. We’re talking about outfitting yourself with every 1/2″ drive, deep and shallow, metric and SAE, impact socket that you’ll likely ever need, for $100. They hold up well, and at $25 for a 13 piece set, it’s hard to complain.
One of the few HF products they almost always agree are pretty decent are the impact sockets. In my many, online, tool related, conversations, I’ve encountered many HF lovers and haters alike.

Prices quoted are the sale prices because, come on, does anyone ever pay the full listed price at HF? If you have any of your own picks, or you just disagree with mine, feel free to come over to our forum and tell me about it. It is not based on any scientific or democratic process, but solely upon my own personal experience and opinion. This list is my version of the 10 best tools you can buy at HF. But amidst the crap that serves no logical purpose whatsoever and the striking tools with the tinsel strength of cheese, there are some real gems to be had. If there’s a way to cheapen an item to the point of complete uselessness, HF probably holds a patent on the process. When you’re walking through the isles at HF, you see certain items like hammers and sandpaper and you say to yourself “they can’t possibly screw that up”……but they can. After awhile everyone figured out that those prices that seemed to be “too good to be true” were in fact “too good to be true”. We got our first Harbor Freight around here about 10 years ago and everyone went wild over it….at first. You know the beer is gonna be watered down and taste like crap, but it’s cheap enough that you can choke it down to get the job done and the experience will be mildly entertaining. Going to Harbor Freight is like going to $1 beer night at a minor league baseball game.
