I purchase stuff from them. Generally small things like tape measures, plastic tarps, drill bits etc. I did buy a manual chain-fall and an electric bench grinder from them and have been happy with both.

As I recall when you were working on the deck you looked at renting a cement mixer and ended up buying one from HF because it was less than renting, and it worked out ok for your project, may not have been contractor quality, but it worked fine, and as it was yours, you were not on a hectic schedule like you may have been with rental equipment trying to keep the rental fee down, clever way to save a buck

Forgot about that. That machine was/is AWESOME !!! With some kind of on sale thing they had going on, and the 20% coupon, I think it was 100$. Wouldn't trade it for all the gas in Frackland...

Anyone had experience with Harbor Freight Tools? I've never tried them but the prices seem unbelievable. Is the stuff mostly Chinese junk or can you cull some reliable pieces there?

A cabinet is something I would consider from them for sure
Of course looking it over ahead of time to judge the quality is a given
Keep in mind lots of car magazines have an additional 20% Off coupon in them often
