Yeah Harbor Freight is the way to go, especially if you do not take real good care of your tools. For the price on most of their stuff its easier to buy another one than try and fix something. I have had a 18 V drill I use for hanging drapes, blinds and the like for over 3 yrs. Well balanced, strong torque, and pretty durable (been dropped from a 6' ladder 4-5 times). It only costs $39.99 on sale. In fact I have 3 of them. figured for that price if anything happened to 1 on the job I could just use another one. (Cheap insurance as a most 18V drills start @ $120)Their other power tools (house brand is Chicago Electric) Seem pretty good too. Alot of the hand tools have lifetime warranties too! But make sure you order their catalogs, very good sales, not always shown on-line or in their stores but if you bring the ad they will honor the price.
