are kickass man. Hercules has drills, skill saws that are better than anything that I ran before so far. Better than Dewault, Rigid, and 
all the others I have tried. Bought a battery powered chainsaw from them as well, Atlas brand and it is awesome.

Got some great battery powered tools nowadays.

A lot of "tool snobs" seem to look down upon, and talk shit about Harbor Freight, but I've had pretty good luck with their stuff, as well.  I'll give you a prime example.  Back when I was doing tile and stone (among other types of flooring), a DeWalt or Makita angle grinder would be good for about a year, maybe year and a half of hard use.  I had one where the bearings went out, and the cutting wheel would no longer hold a straight line.  The job was at a retail store, so the work was at night.  The only place open was Harbor Freight.  I bought their $20 angle grinder, and couldn't have been more pleased.

Not only did the Chicago Tool brand perform better out of the box than the name brand ones that cost over $100 each, that thing lasted nearly 5 years before it bit the dust.  And I believe that happened because it got left out in the rain..  So, you'll never hear me criticize Harbor Freight, or anyone who gets their tools from them.
