Just spent 1.5 hours @ a Harbor Freight B&M tool store, what a nightmare.

Finally found a combination of angle grinder & diamond blades for the next flagstone project I have in mind.

I did get 50% off my purchase though:D

If I wanted to buy a disposable concrete mixer, it'd be the store to use though.

Anyone else been to one?

I got a store about a mile from my house. They have a lot of cheap Chinese hand tools, but I did pick up a Makita cordless drill for a lot less than anywhere else in town.

Some of their Taiwan tools are just fine, considering the price :) Esp if you don't use them continuously, i.e. you don't use them everyday for making a living.

Stay away from their sockets. I buy a lot of other stuff from them though.

My dad is always ordering stuff from their catalog. Every other week I see a package from Harbor Freight.
