Thought the same thing, some stuff from HF is sketchy but other stuff is fine, I have a wet tile saw from HF used and abused for about 3 years, works great every time.

They don't look that bad of quality for the price. I mean if you used them like every day who knows how long the wheels would last?

May have to consider picking those up.. look useful.

Harbor freight is hit/miss. Have bought stuff that breaks right away and other times last forever. But for the price even if I only get 1 use out of a tool it pays for itself.

The best tool I have bought from them is an electric impact gun. Thing is going on 4+ years of much abuse and still going strong. Paid $15 bucks for it lol.

Mine arnt from HF but they work really niceley. do they have the metal wheels?

sillyeye · 01-12-2011, 12:04 PM

The wheels are metal and about 2 inches wide. Seems to work fine for me, but I have to see in the long run.

I have a set from harbor freight but they look bigger and aren't "diamond plate" style & they work awesome. Never given me an issue.

I believe you have the black ones with the support bar going across each side? They were a little cheaper, I went with these because they had a higher weight rating and the no bars on the side so I wouldnt have to jack the car up higher. Either set works great I would assume.

i mean even if they fail not much can be damaged, the car is only a few inches off the ground. def a nice investment to have for the garage, nice pickup
