Harbor Freight: Pick by Brand and Specs, Not Just Price
Harbor Freight’s low prices can be a good deal, but buyers should avoid choosing the cheapest option without checking brand, build quality, and specs. The store sells similar-looking tools across brands that cater to different use cases—drills (Warrior, Bauer, Hercules), wrenches (Pittsburgh, Quinn, Icon), and welders (Chicago Electric, Titanium, Vulcan)—so upgrading within the price range often yields better performance and longer-term value.
