color=#0000ff size=2>I've been more than happy with my General press drill. The
one thing I really love with it is the pedal adapter that I got with it. I can
use both hands to hold my work and use my foot to drill. It's really convenient
for pinblocks (for those who drill outside the piano).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well well well, its about that time for me.
The fun time of choosing shop equipment! I have looked at Harbor Freight
for lots of hours now and its decision time for me. Do any of you have any
experience with Harbor Freight tools? If so what is the tool and what did
you think? I'm interested in power tools. A drill press, dust
collector, bandsaw, grinder, router, disk and belt sander. I understand a
lot of you folks like the grizzly products and they do sound good, but I just
cant stand to do the hole mail order thing. I like to put my hands on the
product. The hand tools I have bought from Hf do an okay job for me.
Some things they have dont look so hot but others work well. So before
investing a lot of money I want to get a few opinions on these products from
someone who has used them. With Harbor Freight locations popping up all
over the U.S one needs to know what to expect from the tools they push.
Thanks for any thoughts on this subject. Oh... and one more thing. I
cant afford to brake the bank on this deal. I know you get what you pay
for but this will be my first shop. I just need something that will do the
job and last for a little while. Thanks again.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
