Harbor Freight sells GARBAGE

Not sure if the OP knows this but HF tools come with a lifetime
guarantee. Of course electric and common sense items are not included in
that. But things like sockets and wrenches etc. See store for fine
print..

Great. Now i know that I can take my busted ratchet back for a new
junky ratchet after I sprain my wrist and put a $1000 dent in my car
because the damn rachet broke. No thanks. I buy quality tools that
dont need a lifetime guarantee, and if no one told you, that
"lifetime" guarantee means that they will replace it till THEIR life
is ended, which in most cases means that they change their business
name. Even if I only need a tool one time, I'd rather use quality
tools, not Taiwan crap. Besides that the reasle value of quality
tools is high, whereas you cant give away that HF junk once it's
gotten dirty.

Everyone would rather use quality tools. Most people don't have the
money to buy a quality version of every tool sold, or they're saving
the money for something else.

May be false economy. Cheap tools can cause a lot of damage, not to mention
the mental anguish that can go with it. I've never been in a Harbor Freight
store and have no plans to go.

I have no argument with that. There's something about the phrase,
"I'd rather use quality tools" and similar phrases that gets me, and
makes me want to say, "Everyone would rather use quality tools".

The last time I heard the phrase it was about an entirely different
subject.
