It trips me out to buy an overpriced snap on or blue point tool and see made in (insert third world sewer here). Its annoying and its hard but people have no choice but to shop wisely now. Harbor freight has allowed a lot of people to buy "specialty" tools that otherwise they would have no access to. Like the ball joint press for 40 bucks. That looks identical to the same unit otc sells for 350 dollars. I have used both A LOT and theres no difference. Theres good and bad with everything but the store and the products sold arent the problem. The problem goes much deeper than that within our country. But we cant get into that without it becoming political which never turns out good. So we will refrain.
