Hi,
I bought a flex shaft tool from grizzly about ten years ago. Handiest tool around the shop. When I needed a new shaft they were able to supply quickly even though the models had changed. Great service too.

Just wondering how everyone has done with the harbor freight tools? I havent had much luck, I just retired my third die grinder in 3 years from the good ol' orange and grey. I did use it every day, and took good care of it, so I felt I got my money's worth at 50 dollars or so. Anyway, anyone have good luck with Harbor Freight stuff?

Yes I have had decent luck with Harbor Freight tools, they stand behind there hand tools with a lifetime warranty, all other tools that have failed still have a very good warranty I have been completely satisfied with the coverage given.

I have two china made hanging type foredom tools which came from a traveling tool vendor Homier, they were cheap 20bux thats why I got two of them, they are OK but certainly not of foredom quality. I use them mainly for polishing and certain grinding on tool making jobs. They except the foredom type tools that snap onto the flex cable that is what was needed as the original tool has jacobs type chuck not large enough for 1/4" tools.
