That store is so awesome! where else can you buy 100 watt offroad lights for twenty bucks!

Not sure if its in other states though.

i assume you are in cA?

i think they are a national chain of stores

i like them, i know the stuff is made in china or other places, but i have never had a problem with anything i have gotten from them, and they are way cheaper.....

[Tofudude]

same here...you can find stuff their that would cost a fortune at home depot.

i have had some stuff break...but it was always some thing that could be replaced by going back.

Plus it doesn't hurt as bad cause if you wait till the end or beging, can't remember, everything pretty much goes on sale.

alot of their stuff is reboxed name brand and  i use the 20% off coupon thats in fourwheeler mag for extra savings

If you know your tools you'll be ok usually, but the majority of stuff there is just plain cheap chinese or indian crap.  I wouldn't expect your $20 set of lights to last or hold up to weather, and definitely run a big fuse to them! 

They have a great little kit of what looks like square plastic spoons kinda, which is for taking off door panels and such, and is the same basic kit I spent quite a bit on through mac instead of like $6 from hf.  I'll buy stuff like that and air line fittings and hoses, since they sell goodyear hoses, but I'd rather NOT have to go back to replace a pickle fork because it flattened out when trying to pop off tre's, which I've had to do   

Just make sure you have experience with high quality tools, avoid buying something that'll kill or maim you WHEN it breaks, and you'll be fine

the church just got our little 4x4 group a 12 ton press from there so we can do more at the groups shop =]
the $14.95 offroad light blind all my friends =]

Well this is the way i look at it...yes its cheap...but all the wiring is done now, and it came with some good wires and switch, so if they do fail miserably i can just spend a little more and just drop them in.

Thats for the lights only though...but my dad has been going their for years buying new saw blades etc. and he has never had a problem.

you can't beat all the discounts and coupons you get in the mail

Yeah...my dad has collected about 7 of those free flash lights and 2 have had malfunctions

Just like others have said you get what you pay for. Some things are really great. I've had my hf grinder its a chiago brand for about 2 years now and I've grinded alot and cut though alot of things cut off mufflers, bumpers, springs, bolts ect.. and only thing that i've done is replaced the brushes and the handle snaped when I was putting it on one day. I also have their chiago brand drill which is ok the batter dies really fast though and I need to get a corded drill most likely go to them.

I had a h/f winch and it worked great now it's been passed on to BoG-ToY and he is re working it. I will most likely if I build up my runner buy a new h/f winch from them 9000k for $400 is not to bad a deal.
