    I'll remember that but I don't think harbor freight is in Canada. I'm from ONTARIO.
    Would you mind giving me the model number of that impact I'll google the info and see if I can find acomparable one here.

    Princess Auto one time had fairly decent stuff. Now though, if they were to remove all the imported, poor quality, and over-priced products, there wouldn't be much left.

    I'll come up with something that works that's reasonable I won't need it all the time just occasionally right.

    You guys can't get Harbor Freight tools in Canada? They are nothing special it just Chinese tools. If you were a professional needing to use an impact every day obviously you want something that's going to last 20 years or more and HF tools are not for you. For once in a while use there's no sense in paying $600-$700.
