Not everything at Harbor Freight is junk and depending upon how much use something will get an inexpensive item might work for you.

Last month I needed a pipe wrench to flip the ball on a trailer hitch and change it from a 2 inch drop to a 2 inch rise. $13.95 for the wrench, a little WD40, and it worked.

I got tired of hand cranking docks up with a trailer winch attached to a tree. A 5,000 pound Harbor Freight 12 volt electric winch bolted to a tree makes that easy. I only wish I had thought of it 10 years ago!

If I were a mechanic or a carpenter, who was depending on my tools every day, it might not be the right choice. But for a few projects it seems like they are OK.
