Can we talk about those cheap knee kickers from Harbor Freight?

I bought one for $45 thinking it was a steal, but the teeth stripped on the second job and I had to run out and buy a Roberts for $180 to finish. That extra trip cost me half a day's pay on a big install in Phoenix. Anyone else get burned by a tool that seemed like a good deal at first?

Harbor Freight tools are basically a gamble you pay for upfront. You might get lucky, but you're often just buying the problem twice when it breaks. That "good deal" cost you way more than the sticker price.

It's the same with cheap paint and fast food.
