Dam right!

The front of the building is open and they were pouring a new floor today.

A HFT Coming Soon sign is up over the unit.

Harbor Freight seems to be expanding up and down the coast.

Quality seems to be improving.

Looks like the CCP's drive to take over the hand tools and light power tools market.

Huge regional distribution center in Dillon SC.

The improvement to their hand tools isn’t due to CCP’s QC Central Planners

It’s due to the tools being marked, “Made in Taiwan” or “Made in R.O.C.” instead of China or PRC.

That's very interesting. I wonder why. Bears some investigation at the local Harbor Freight.

I think HFT’s new quality is better than Lowe’s Kobalt/Craftsman and HD‘s Husky.

Plus both the HFT Regular and ICON tools come with a life time warranty now.

They have come to understand that as important as silicon chips are, reliable basic hand tools and manual power tools are still needed to build things. We've largely forgotten that.

I’ve got a bunch of their Bauer power tools, all share batteries and chargers and all of them work every time.

Stopped by the Millsboro HF location yesterday to see what was up. Sign on the door says open 12/22/23. Peaked inside, looks like they are ready to go.

 

[adit]

Drove by tonight and saw the same sign.

Nice. I'll be going out there this weekend and see if I have time to stop in to check it out.

 

[bigjohn]

It’s open! I think it opened Saturday.
