: Are these guys as good as Grizzly?
: Shawn

I'm hoping that the Grizzly line is much better, but I don't know. I have a cheap drillpress from Harbor Freight, but it's WAY underpowered. It looks cheap, but I still haven't burned it up yet. I keep trying (I'd like a nice Grizzly drill press). From what I've found while searching for power tools, most of Grizzly's large tools are worth the money (actually a pretty good bargain for upper middle end tools). And are probably good enough for the uses we'll put them through. But I really want to know if their cheap cordless tools are worth buying. I wouldn't buy any precision power tools from Harbor Freight, or ones that you expect longevity, but for cheap tools to abuse, I might consider it. I do however buy all clamps, chipbrushes, etc.. from them.

Good question, I hope we'll still get responses from anyone who has either.
