Re: Tool Sources

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Ollie that Harbor Freight is okay for hobby, used-once-in-a while, especially considering the price. I picked up a Harbor Freight 1/2" Electric Impact Wrench for under $40. Works okay for quick torque without need to run a compressor, like harmonic balancer bolt removal.  I don't think it would stand up well at a business level workplace. Yard sales and online like Craig's List is worth keeping an eye on. A buddy of mine found a treasure of tools at a yard sale that he saw advertised on Craig's List. Sadly, it turned out to be an estate sale, ("there are no u-haul trailers attached to a hearse!" as my  uncle used to say)  and a lifetime of top-quality professional tools in a shop were available at very cheap, bargain prices. On the Sears level, be careful, they won't replace forever their lower line, just the Craftsman top line, is my understanding.  dos pennies

Thanks,
Gary H.
