    Harbor Freight is American owned and employs more Americans than DeWalt and Milwaukee combined.

    BTW...Milwaukee is Chinese owned.

    It does have a certain smell.

    I've saved a lot of money buying tools there though. Bench grinder, drill press, chainsaw sharpener, cordless drill, impact driver, wrenches, tap and die set, creeper, car jack, anvil, battery chargers, pipe cutter, welding supplies, to name a few. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was the #1 tool store in America.

    A lot of the guys I see rag on them have company bought tools or they live with mommy and daddy still.

    the ccp thanks you for your continued support :rofl: :lol::p I'm just teasing I'm guilty of buying from them as well.
    I just bought some welding supplies from there because the boss told me to. The one welding cart they sell is actually kind of nice. Helmet isn't too shabby either.

    Came across these "Lil' Critters while visiting friends in Pa. a couple of years ago. Beautiful but deadly for sure.
