True. If I need the tool for a one time use, then I will buy from Harbor Freight and use it without reservations on saving the tool....ie. bought a heavy duty demolition hammer to knock out a retaining wall. I also purchased the 3 yr. extended warranty for it. Used it hard this first year without any problems and got the wall half done. I'm not in the business of knocking out retaining walls (just helping out my mom), so after this job I will retire the tool, so I didn't want to spend $400 (more than twice the price I paid) for a quality tool. You do get what you pay for...but it also depends on your application/future intentions.
