Harbor Freight has lots of tools for the average home shop. I don't think I would use many of them if I had to make a living using the tools but for the home user most of them are fine. I normally keep an eye on the sale fliers they send out and rarely buy anything from them not on sale. Day after thanksgiving they had 22 piece combination wrench sets for $8 in a roll up. I bought a few sets to keep in various trucks and outbuildings I have. :smash:

I had to do some frame welding near the fuel pump. That was scarry, but without incident.

Glad to hear no damage. :blueangel:
I was welding in the garage recently and had the stereo cranking at the same time. I had forgotten to cover my smoke alarm which is wired into a central system.
Not too long into the job I look up and the fire chief from the local department was standing in the doorway of my garage shaking his head. My father came speeding down the street because I couldn't hear the phone so they called him on the call list as a backup so they didn't have to break the doors down.
