The only downside to that Pittsburgh 301 piece is the ratchets. Seriously, they’re so janky, it almost ruins the whole set. Also wish you could disengage the hinge on the blow mold case so it could be a drawer organizer. That said, the sockets make up for the ratchets. And the other tools are serviceable. You won’t be passing them down in the family, but they get the job done!
Great info, but you may want to brush-up on what 'inverter' means on a genny. It's got nothing to do with quiet. It's all about quality of power coming out of the unit.
I have the scroll saw and it’s as good as the $600 to $1000 brand names , how do t know because I have 2 pro scroll saws in the $1000 range and I’ve owned a Hegner and RBI G4 so I’ve used the expensive ones . I bought my Bauer scroll saw for $229 dollars on sale and it’s a beast works great has all the important features and very low vibration. I highly recommend it this saw is as good as the more expensive one . The new midi lathe is also a great buy Same lathe elsewhere with a different name cost $1000 + and the stand is 1/2 price of the same stand elsewhere. I paid $600 for stand and lathe on sale . I’m a lathe junky I’ve owned at least 13 different lathes top line stuff and I’ve got 2 other brand name lathes and I purchased from he Bauer midi lathe as s dedicated pen , bottle stoppers, and other small project lathe. It’s variable speed 1 hp, I also recommend the 6” bench jointer it has spiral type carbide cutters with 4 sides to use on cutters. Great for small projects where I don’t want to run my 12” jointer. Harbor freight has stepped up its game on many of the Bauer and Hercules tools . Do the research save some cash.
I wish harbor freight would make 3d printers .
Hercules 3d printer
That'd be interesting!

I can smell the chemicals from all the garbage plastic from here!
That is all plastic, not just harbor freight. Have you smelled the rigid tough system.
