If you are looking for a one-stop centre for power tools, there are two candidates that you should consider. The choices are Harbor Freight Tools and Grizzly Tools. Both parties have almost similar items and services to offer and they operate along the same lines of business. So, if you are given a choice, a gun to your head, which are you going to choose?
First, let us review their pros and cons one by one. Harbor Freight Tools boasts to have the largest collection of tools than any other retailer. In addition to that, they claim to have the lowest prices that will soundly beat any competitor's (for select items only). Walk into a Harbor Freight store and you will be looking at over 7000 products which bear popular brand names such as DeWalt, Chicago Electric, Pittsburg, Makita, Central Machinery, Central Hydraulic, Stanley, Central Forge and many others. These brands are well-known for their high quality and convenient use.
Harbor Freight seems unbeatable when it comes to reputation. It's been around for over 40 years and has served 5 million happy customers. Its customer base is looking to grow as they are expanding their empire. Currently, not only do they have a dozen retail outlets all over the United States, it's also possible to shop for tools online.
Grizzly Tools, although not popular, has catered to everyone, from casual hobbyists to professional construction workers. What sets Grizzly Tools apart from Harbor Freight is the fact that their tools all bear the Grizzly emblem.
Selling their own product, instead of someone else's, drastically reduced the average price of their items. Customers are more content to buy items direct from the manufacturer instead of middlemen; for fear that the items had been tampered with when it changed hands. Aside from that, Grizzly Tools can also be ordered online and has stores in Pennsylvania, Washington and Missouri.
After comparing the two manufacturers, there is no doubt that both have their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their products. Harbor Freight Tools sell well-known and quality products and Grizzly Tools sell their own brands for lower prices. Either retailer can be of more value to you, depending on your preference.
