For tools, I go to Harbor Freight now.
Chinese take out.
I go to tag sales. Pennies on a dollar :)
A lot of tool purists knock Harbor Freight. Not me, I've bought a bunch of tools from them and they work, at a fraction of the price of other tools. For instance, Craftsman tools with bad welds and poor performance. Versus Harbor Freight that gets the job done. I hate to say it, but the Chinese stuff that Harbor Freight sells is better than the Chinese stuff that Sears sells. And it's not just Chinese stuff. I bought a mitre-saw stand at Orchard Supply (when it was owned by Sears) because it was American made, but it had crappy welds which I cut and rewelded myself. Orchard Supply is now Lowes owned.
