I purchased the 1300 lbs electric hoist and have been very pleased with it.

Not a normal wood working purchase, but I found it very handy for moving material around in my shop.Leave a comment:

"Item #97524 18ga 2 in 1 Brad Nailer / Stapler. I've seen a couple of folks had bad reviews, but overwhelmingly folks like them. "
as long as you realize its going to leave a staple-sized (length) dent in the wood instead ofa nail-head sized dent when you drive a brad....
because it uses the same driver for both.
It's a general failing of the combo stapler/nailer combos rather than a HF shortcoming.Leave a comment:

Wow- That's quite the list. I'd agree with most of those. And I have a good number of them too.Leave a comment:

I would add the various grits and shapes (square edge or beveled) of sanding sponges. They're not quite up to the quality of a 3M or Norton but when one considers that a 10-pack can be bought, on sale, for about the same price as one of the name brand sponges, they are a classic Harbor Freight price vs. performance bargain.Leave a comment:

Harbor Freight Gems list updated.
For those of you that are interested.... This gets talked about here, and other places. I have gleaned what I could for this gems list from what I could find on the various forums. I have found most of the gems lists to be BADLY outdated, and have taken items numbers that are no longer available out, and put in the ones that are current that show up well spoken of. So for your reading enjoyment I present to you my version of the Harbor Freight Gems list...
It might be worth noting that entries that I personally own, and can speak directly for are marked in red
