First off, thanks to all who posted responses a few days ago to my "Molding
style" question. I decided to go with a built-up molding.

I need to get a plate joiner. Not being a pro, I felt I didn't need a
porter or dewalt, so I went to Harbor Freight. I thought the tools were
absolute junk and an accident waiting to happen. It felt like I was
shopping the "Job Lot" (New england people know what I am talking about) of
tools. Am I off-base on this?

The only thing I can say...if you need a one-time tool-for a DIY
job...instead of hiring someone...it could be an option.

Nope.

Partly.

You can get a 25' Stanley locking tape measure for SRP of $39.23 or a Harbor
Freight model for $1.99. There's probably not a lot of difference in the
inches.

A Black & Decker orbital sander can be had for about $24.00. HF has one for
$10.00.

You can get a Leviton GFCI outlet for about $33.00. The HF model is $13.00.
Both UL listed.

Now if you want a milling machine or a spot welder...
