Is it too good to be True?

I am always in the market for tools to assist in my metal work. Especially if they are affortable. I ran into this beauty; hoping its not just skin deep. Most good English wheels run about $600 - $1200 these days. If your on a budget like myself, those are some huge numbers that could take all year to save up. Lots of missing lunches.

Harbor Freight has had a reputation for "not so good" machines in the past, but I do know by experience they have been trying to improve on thier stuff over the years.

Read on for the specifications!

I use all Harbor Freight (Central Pneumatic) air tools, hand tools and some machines. I'm very happy with them. I have broken only one tool, only because I dropped it.

Would I give this a chance for $350? (That includes the additional Anvils.)

I just might.

If you have this unit, please add comments to todays post. Thanks!
