I've walked up one like a staircase, and I second that they're better than the now more expensive Craftsman stuff.
If you get to know the people at your local Harbor Freight - if they're like the folks at my local store - they'll be frank with you about what stuff comes back for returns regularly, too.

You think the Carpet Pissers did this?
Yea, I have formed a pretty good relationship with mine as well.
Thanks for the info, guys. I'm generally unhappy with my Craftsman and have been looking for something that's better (ball bearings and bigger shit etc.). I'll take a look.
What coupons did you end up using, just the standard 20% off?

OK, I saw the Glock and felt compelled to share:
Sig Sauer P226 TACOPS
I have not shot it yet, hopefully this weekend! I don't know about where you live, but by me, one round of 9mm
is about the equivalent of one unicorn tooth. Luckily I have a friend that drives all over the midwest for work!

One more thing I want to show off now ;D
After going through too many "nice boots" that are just made by well known companies
who outsource to China, I decided to bite the bullet and spend some money on some
Red Wings. I must say, the quality difference between these, and say...today's Doc Martens,
is night and day. So far, so good!

For boots, I never where anything but red wings. I've got 4 pairs now, the oldest being about ten years old and I wear that pair almost every day. If you take car of them, they should last a very long time. Mind you, I do send them out to be resoled by redwing periodically but I wear them hard and they come back looking better and better every time.

Hate to break the news but Red Wings are now made in the great land of China. Have to love economics, huh?
I bought a pair of 8" Thorogood's. Same weight as Red Wings but union made in the US and half the price. Also, you don't have to break the in again if you don't wear them for a week.

May I stand corrected. That being said, with an 8" boot getting up to $300, I think I would rather not pay for the name. You can get a fully custom built, fully rebuildable pair of Whites for an extra $100.
I do get that it's an iconic look and no knocking those who love them. They have built a reputation for a reason.

May not be made here, but Ariat boots are the hands down most comfortable and toughest boots I've ever bought. Have a few different pairs of different styles
http://www.ariat.com/Work/Men/Footwear/Safety/SierraH2OSt.html?color=SUNSHINE these for workin'
http://www.ariat.com/Western/Men/Footwear/CowboyBoots/RamblerSquareToe.html?color=MOCCASIN these for everyday.
A pal of mine turned me on to them a few years back.....ain't worn my old Red Wings since.

On a different note I just snagged up this Pneumatic angle die grinder for $30 from the local hardware store. I've already got a straight one but the angle is nice for shaping and getting in different spots. The hardware store has been in business for over 60 years. The owner works the counter and told me if I ever had any issues in the next 5 years bring it in and he'll swap me out over the counter. Beyond that he'll give me the option to send it away and have it rebuilt for shipping cost or 50% off a new one. All on the back of the reciept. Couldn't pass it up, never heard of the brand but for $30 can ya go wrong?

They make a bunch of different lace-up boots as well. I have one pair, http://www.ariat.com/Western/Men/Footwear/CowboyBoots/RamblerLacer.html?color=DISTRESSED_BROWN
I have the slip on and the lace version of the same boot, I prefer the slip on myself
