I've always been partial to "hazard fraught"

I disagree with it being garbage though. It's true, most of their merchandise isn't the highest quality, but when you need a tool for just one project that you don't already own and can't seem to borrow from anyone it's a great place to get that tool on the cheap, and for some oddball tools there's may be no convenient place to track them down.

I was recently working on a small project I needed a router for. In this case I was able to borrow a router from a friend but he only had one bit for it and it wasn't one I needed. If you haven't priced out router bits recently, they tend to go for like $20-30 a piece from the usual big retailers.

I was able to get a set of 15 bits from harbor freight for about $30-40 and they did exactly what I needed them to.

I'm sure they probably won't last as long as the good bits, but for how often I need a router these will probably last me the rest of my life.

Needed a rivnut tool for a different project a few months ago, and nowhere else around me carries them, beat waiting a couple days for one from Amazon.

Also have a bike rack from them that's doing the job just fine, and a handful of little weird tools for various hobbies.

I wouldn't trust them for anything my life or livelihood depends on, but for little incidental things I can't borrow or find anywhere else they do just fine.
