    Hi,

    Happy New Year "y'all".:clap:;)

    We were looking on Craigslist.org for some farm equipment recently for our farm; and DH noticed that Harbor Freight was advertising for a new store opening soon in Sterling area. DH had posted an ad for some of our older farm equipment and mentioned it to me earlier this week.

    I suspect that they may be looking at the corner space where the old Room Store furniture was located in Sterling (Sugarland Crossing S/C). Apparently, they are posting for jobs for future opportunities for their new store.

    Info below if someone is looking for retail employment--

    Sort of the tool store version of the dollar store? Hmmmm. At least it is something a little different. Overall they receive decent reviews. Good for us!

    They have a lot of krapp but some decent stuff too. I have a sliding table tile saw and an oscillating multitool from them that are rock solid. Glad they are closer now! Closest before was potomac mills or up in MD.

    Agree ^^^ HF is great for those rarely needed, one time use tools also.

    Agree...most stuff is low end made in China. Good thing is that if you need a tool, sometimes it is cheaper to buy it at HF than to rent it for a few days. If it breaks you have lost nothing. If it lasts a few more projects, you are way ahead. I have bought some pneumatic tools there for 10-15 bucks and they have lasted over 5 years.
