It's a great place to save money.

Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't compromise on price without sacrificing quality or customer service; often its knowing how to approach things in their right perspective and accepting the limiting factors of each style of doing business. Most often than not, I find good quality, worth the price and maybe even better then the price at Harbor Freight.



They have goods there I evaluate the same way I do in our own shop (SowNSews Custom Sewing N Repairs) you can produce almost anything at one price point or another and listening to the client will let you know what they can afford are willing to settle for.



Time equals money, being made in America means we can apply the same standards of living as something made in China or elsewhere outside the USA. Many of our American based companies are leaders in so many ways; and many of the products carried in Harbor Freight are able to save money by following the lead of the successful American companies and duplicating such products.



Harbor Fright seems to have been able to understand that American Shoppers want more then just cheap products.

They want a reasonable return on their investment when spending their own hard earned dollars there. So I am actually proud to recommend some of their products to my client base when appropriate.

What I like about this place over say Big Lots is it is a no frills straightforward place and we get consistency in their offerings. We have here a direct importer who is admittedly selling imported stuff from and imported source and making no bones about it. Not bad, not bad at all. They offer good value for the price and beats anything we make in our own country. Warranties? Non that I know of. Sure they will do direct exchange which should be good enough given the prices they are charging.



Well illuminated, easy to see what you are buying before you buy, well laid out by product type, great depth of selection by product type. and good check out service. Great flier comes in the mail every so often if you want and there is always something worth going there to see and check it out and see if anything new has arrived.



All in all? Pretty Nifty and worth going to for the Guy side of our lives. I get a lot of clients in my Army Navy Surplus & Sow N Sews Custom Sewing N Repairs shop to get things made such as pouches, and even repairs of products they have purchased from here. They come in to get custom pouches to hold several tools that the purchase didn't supply or to combine tools into a joint pouch that they can carry together or just to do some beefing up of the stitched areas of a tool belt or replace a buckle with a better one or easier to use one. Even add suspenders to a tool belt.



So I am real happy this place exists; and we both win because my clients like it and I like it. It is conveniently located in the North West Plaza and close to other shopping and eateries.
