some things that may help younger folks, put your compressor outside your garage or at least on the other side of a wall, doesnt drown out the ZZTOP that way, and even though they're a good thing, as previously stated by others, I pretty much only use it for tire changes, I always start the first three threads by hand, save on that 'why didnt I do that' when you strip a bolt.

They went thru daily abuse for years, not one ever failed, still have them.
This was back before China was open, they were then called Harbor Freight Salvage, sent businesses mail flyers and they only had one mail order warehouse in LA, no stores.
Back then their stuff was made in Taiwan, but everyone bitched about Taiwanese stuff just like they do the China stuff today.

I have a general rule about Harbor Freight...if whatever it is that I want from there is so cheap that I cannot reasonably justify NOT buying it, I will buy it from them. I don't buy their stuff if there's an American equivalent for a reasonable price, and sometimes it's surprising what is available if you look around a bit..
