Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Drill Presses (Harbor Freight Ad)
Are these good prices? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44505 Flier Price $49.99 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44506 Flier Price $39.99 Storage Bins: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=41949 Flier Price $6.99 Lee Price is good. Drill press is well........................ I wouldn't expect a lot of quality/service life for either press. Russ Russ must have had the same expirences that I have. The price is good but the quality is lacking and the tools just don't hold up. Bob Miles Tucson AZ Lee, We have a Harbor Freight here in town now... it's about a 10 minute drive from me... If you want me to take a look at then and tell you what they are like... I'd be happy to.

I don't really have a need for one but for $40-50 I figured it may be worth picking one up. I've got a HF half-way between the house and the dog park too.

They both turn WAY too fast for drilling steel though unless you want to be buying a LOT of drills. They'll heat up in a hurry at 600+ RPM and, once they get hot, throw them away. It'll save aggrevation <G> The bins are an OK deal. I have used them in the past and they are strong enough to fill with nuts, bolts, washers and pins. >Are these good prices? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Lee Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 I got a cheapie "Clarke" brand from Tractor supply for Christmas one year. Looks like the same quality. Works OK for wood. WAAAAy too flimsy for steel. It stalls out and the litle add on depth gage broke quickly. Stay away if you are wanting to USE it. Mark (as always- the advice is worth what you paid for it) Dunning Quality of their stuff is so-so... But their warranty exchange policy is great. I have broken a couple of items after a lot of hard use, and have returned and exchanged the items without hassle or exception. It's still people dealing with people, and only the policies get in the way. One thing that does bug me is that I have a knack of buying an item from them and it always seems to go on major sale a month or two later. Order something online from them and your mailbox will never be empty... I've gotten two and three fliers from them in the same week with the same items on sale for different prices. Go to the store and they ask you which flier you have. Lee > Quality of their stuff is so-so... > But their warranty exchange policy is great.
