“OK so I just had to come back on their website and put a review in because my 391 craft out for some unknown reason and I went there looking to get it fixed and by the time I was done I practically had the price of a new saw so I bought a new MS 400 C on their recommendation for the amount of wood I cut and I really got to tell you that I'm overly impressed this this is more than I ever dreamed and it's really a great machine Their service and their technical expertise is superior by far”

“Harbor freight prices have always been great. The quality was lacking in the early days. I have a lot of tools from harbor freight. Their ICON series are very good. I have their 1/2 torque wrench. Works as good as any other brands. I do find their electronics tools to be lacking. I have bought several tools like saws and cutting wheels that were junk. I returned them the same day. That said, they accept returns without question. So I would say, don't be afraid to purchase these tools. Most times they are fine and if you are not happy, they will take them vack.”

Josh diagnosed the problem and even though the store did not have one and nothing showed on line ,Josh matched the battery to one they did have and replaced the battery. Definitely went above and beyond to solve my problem. Treated me like stores used to. So refreshing. Thank you Josh.”
