Hi list,

since I recently moved full-time to the U.S. and now ahve a home here, I am
equipping my garage/shop. Since I am kind of on a budget at the moment, its
not gonna be Dewalt tools:-(  Question: has anyone used harbor freights
lineup of Chicago Power tools (angle grinder, jigsaw, sander and the like)?
Do they hold up a while, handle OK and are safe? (I recently  bought a
socket set of cheap tools on the road from the flaps, and the first socket
shattered in pieces on the first use, so I am a little cautious).

thanks for the input before I buy a bunch of them.

flo
