Re: Tourqe Wrench Advice
Huh, cool, and I was thinking I would have to spend at least $50... you guys
are a god send... and a 20 minute response too!!! What about other Pittsburgh/Harbor Freight Tools, are they decent enough to use as a do-it-yourselfer? There is a Harbor Freight store about 20 minutes from me... so will run up and pick it up :) "Larry St. Regis" <lstregisDONTSPAMHERE@i4putt.com> wrote in message news:HNzTa.488$Fx7.324@newssvr24.news.prodigy.com. .. > "Nathan W.

I bought my hilift from them for something close to $30. The Real McCoy cost about $60, but is way more than twice as good. Think about it, if you are stuck, do you want to be using El Cheapo equipment in a situation that can kill you if it fails? Actually, killing you might be better than the serious injury ... An even worse thing would be to let your friend use it, and it killed him. |
