Had to have a look, even though I am in Aus so no way that I can get it.

I was more impressed with the can crusher. I have seen can crushers before, but not one with a magazine "for fast smashing action"!

Harbor Freight is GREAT! Almost everything they carry is made in China. And as such it's hit and miss in the quality dept. But they are really good about exchanging things that are broken. But I've gone through both inline and submersible pumps from them at an alarming rate. On the other hand, I knew a lady with a koi pond who used one of their submersible pumps for three years 24/7 with no problems. I had the same pump and had one fail the first night and the second one failed after about a month.

My brother bought one of their three in one machine centers and he took it apart and the tolerances were REALLY tight, they would make Bridgeport proud! But it's really a random success.

The best time to buy things is when they are on sale, they can be as little as half the normal price. So if you sign up for the coupons and flyers then just wait for what you want to go on sale it can be a great deal.

And of course, most of what you buy at B is the same quality - variable, tending towards poor.
