Pissingintowind posted:Seems like Sears/Craftsman is better, unless someone has had a bad experience with them: That jack is the exact same rebranded jack you can get at HF and Walmart. I have one and it's dinky and doesn't work very well. I later purchased the $56 2-1/4 ton jack at HF. Same 2-1/4 ton rating, but a good 5 times bigger than the dinky jack. Only downside is it weighs a ton. I should have gotten the aluminium jack at HF or Northern.

ASSTASTIC posted:I'm pretty sure the consensus is that if it spins(angle grinder) or generates heat(cheap heatgun) and its from harbor freight, its poo poo. Please correct me if I am wrong. I've noticed that a lot of HF stuff is made by the same manufacturer as the more expensive name brand stuff you get at other stores. A lot of the Craftsman jacks are identical. Some of the Craftsman miter saws are the same, with the Craftsman brand having additional cosmetic details. The HF compressor I recently bought is made by Campbell Hausfeld, which can be purchased at Home Depot, Sears, Wal-Mart, and Northern. If it's a tool made in China you can probably get the same thing for cheaper at HF, especially with the coupons and sales. You just have to deal with the ridiculous orange color scheme.

Not discounting that they might be a clone, but it seemed more likely to me they were made by the same company and rebranded. The picture above is not representative of the type of quality you get at HF, where it's obviously just a scam. I have a number of HF tools along with named brand, and the HF stuff works just as well as my more expensive stuff. I've also had expensive name brand poo poo fall apart on me so that's not limited to HF.

I have one of those compressors. It was damaged out of the box, twice, but other than that it's been great. Just open the box before you leave.
