They don't make claims about durability or life. I don't have a problem believing that product, if it performs to the specifications laid out, could work as well as the snapon product, at least until it breaks.
"Pro composite" is a funny selling point though. |

It's been shown to make as much torque as the snap-on. Haters gonna hate, but HF can sell some really good stuff.

My $6 harbor freight pneumatic cut-off tool is rock solid and has thus far given me years of reliable service.
Same with the $20 brad nailer. |

To be fair, I've never used a Snap-On impact that was any good.
Pretty much any IR impact beats the shit out of Snap-On. |

Love it. and their top of the line floor jack is way better then snap ons $600 version for the same thing, Snap on just lost to HF about the jack in court and it came out that they were/are made on the same line HF has come a long way on their "premium" line stuff granted they still have lots of other shitty tools but some nice ones as well So this LOL is directed towards the OP

We abuse the shit out of a earthquake inpact at our shop for well over a year and no problems. It gets used at least 3 times a day for hitch work. No problems with it.

Not unique to China, its done a lot here in the US as well. I worked for a injection molding company that made toner cartridges and other plastic pieces for Toshiba and a few other misc big brands, and we would just pop the Toshiba or whatever brand name plate out of the mold and replace it with another or blank plate and do runs of aftermarket parts. Literally the same plastic mix, in the same factory, on the same machines, same QA checks, and they sell for half as much. Quote HistoryQuoted:

You can buy 5 or 6 HF for one snap on and all the reviews say they chooch about the same so for the home use guy... |

IMO The best impact is an Ingersol Rand by far. That being said the HF impact appears to be an exact copy
of the IR |

HF's Daytona jack is made in the same factory as the Snap-On, and they're actually getting sued by them for the comparison adds lol.
I actually bought one but only have used it a few times, it's definitely quality we'll see about longevity though. |

HF does make some good shit. You just have to get a lot of it stuck between your toes to figure out which one smells the best. I have the old 3/8 Impact. It kicks ass. My 1/2" is an IR. |
