Most harbor freight stuff I've gotten is pretty much DOA or good to go about 50/50, especially cheapo air tools. Anything heavy-use I buy quality stuff but odd job tools are fine.
They have some of the best floor jacks out there for the price, and most anything else you buy anywhere near it in price is usually the same stuff with different stickers on it from more "trusted" manufacturers. Definitely avoid their strut/spring compressor, the threaded rod was bowing on mine after about the 2nd or 3rd compression and the threads were eating themselves alive.
As much as I hate buying stuff from there, they do have their purpose especially when it's specialty tools you might be one and done with. Now if you plan on using the tools to earn a living you might want to invest in higher quality stuff.

SWAG offroad has a table that'll bolt on to those portable bandsaws to make em a fair bit more useful. You can alternate it between a more traditional band saw and a hand held one that way. Might be something to take a gander at.
94 firebird 315 30 18 x 4, 3.4/A4 to LT1/M6 swap, bilstein racing coilovers, leveled LCAs, lowered PHR, spherical bushings in stock lower a arms, 35mm front swaybar, 1" rear sway bar, ported heads, cam, LS1 lid, longtubes, rebuilt T56 blah blah blah

things works pretty good. directions sucked on putting it together though. and some of the pre assembled parts i had to take apart becuase they were installed incorrectly.
