I have been cutting a lot of flooring, and have been running through saw blades. Instead of always buying new, I decided to try sharpening some of my used blades. I had researched on YouTube and found a lot of guys like the saw sharpener from Harbor Freight. I know I have had a negative impression of Harbor Freight for the longest time. However, that was not at all based on any actual experience.

They have a lot of stuff at Harbor Freight, but one thing they don't have is Makita, DeWalt or Milwaukee. However, maybe what they have will still be able to get the job done.

As always a special thanks to dswigle@dswigle for making Market Friday so much fun every week!

I found the sharpener and decided to give it a try. Seems to get the job done...

They do have a good selection of their own brand of tools.

Now I have always been keenly aware of the difference of quality between tools. Yet I am planning on buying these once I move for working on the new house.

You can stack two of them!

I also think there is a distinct difference in the need for top quality tools between the DIYer and the professional 5 days a week contractor. For example if you are a DIYer, you may use your cordless drill only once a month, whereas a contractors' bread and butter depends on the quality of that tool.

Perhaps the DIYer could get by with a Ryobi yet the pro is more suited to the DeWalt.

Now I want to be clear, if you are only a DIYer and enjoy buying DeWalt tools for the quality, that is wonderful. Nothing in the least wrong with that.

I really would love these US General tool boxes! It is true: I love them, but I don't need them!

They look good, they feel good, and they function well too!

3500 bucks is still a whole heap of money, but it sure beats spending over 14 grand on Snap On! YIKES!!!

They even sell solar panels!

Plus power stations too!!!

I am going to pick up one of these pin nailers once I watch a review or two. Can only lose 25 bucks if it is junk!

So if you ever shopped at Harbor Freight, let me know what you think...
