Hmmm, why did I add Harbor Freight? Not because I'm in love with their quality, but...
Once you've been to all the Hilsoside stores you might come to realize that assortment and availability are sometimes lacking - either you cannot find sometime you know you need or the price is just mind boggling. HF will ship to Hawaii via Priority Mail, a pretty good deal on some items, definitely cheaper than an unplanned trip Konaside (where there is greater assortment/availability). I'm about ready to do an order again.
Note on HF quality: About 9 years ago, I bought one of their $50, 10 inch drill presses to build kitchen cabinets during a complete kitchen remodel. I've used it on quite a variety of projects from wood to plastic to 1/2 inch steel. I've worn out a number of bits, regular twist, forstner, step etc, but the drill press itself lives on - not sure I could kill it if I tried.
