However... (you knew that was coming, right? *:-)

When I tried to order the deburring tool Harbor Freight said it didn't
recognize the number. *So I sent a message to their Customer Service
people to make sure they knew there was a market for virtually any
aircraft-related tools they might care to offer.

The squeaking wheel DOES get the grease... eventually. *If enough of
you guys will follow suit we could probably get Harbor Freight to
offer virtually everything needed to fill an aviation metalsmith's
toolbox.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking -- I'm not a big fan of Harbor
Freight''s quality either. *But in *some cases Good Enough is all you
need. *For example, I've found that a Chinese cleco costing a nickel
works just as well as one costing six-bits.

I couldn't agree with you more on the HF tool assessment Bob and I've
purchased more than a few tool's and such from HF for that very
reason. To my way of thinking if I've done my homework and know how
the tool should be made than I can make a selection and purchase that
leaves me with money for other materials. The more nickle's and dime's
I save equal's dollar's saved or better spent on other material's or
tool's. My drill press, clamps and many of my lathe tools have HF part
numbers.
