There's no way that I would (even if I could) make an eight drawer wood tool chest for $90.00.

Hi Harry

Me too , I don't know how they can do it,,,so cheap,,,, I have both (small one and the big one) and it's real oak

It's a copy cat, but a nice one ,,the one they copied goes for 246.oo bucks on the low side..

Did you see the wooden clamps ?, that's a new one for me...

Cheap = China. I think most (if not all) of Harbor Freight stuff is made in China. That being said, they do have some neat stuff for a good price. I just bought an oscillating spindle sander from them for $120 and it is a good heavy tool with a cast iron table and 6 spindle sizes.

**harrysin** · 11-13-2007, 07:41 AM

I agree with you George (don't I always), that at the right price point, items made in China and Taiwan are good quality and top value for money. That includes Electronics, electrical, cameras, measuring instruments and tools and probably many things that I can't think of.

I'm not for sure if it is the one George has but, Harbor Freight has the 3.5 AMP, heavy duty cast iron table, Oscillating Spindle Sander on sale for $89.99 thru Dec 3rd. Lot number 95088

Holy crap! Those chests are awesome. I was going to make one of these for hand tools and stuff but man that can't be beat. Might have to add one of these to my Christmas list

Thanks Bj, neat stuff.

Hi Corey, you'er welcome

Yep they are great,,,, I need to send off for one or two of the wooden clamps, I blew one of the pictures up and it has tons of mill (router) work done on it and I would like to know how they get the sucker to work...I like tricky made toys

That's the one Dave. Wouldn't you know they would go on sale a week after I bought mine.
