The tools I have bought from Harbor Freight I do so with the intent of getting a single use out of them for a specific project. For example, I'd spend $75 there to buy a wet tile saw to do the bathroom floor. If it lasted past the weekend, then I got my money's worth plus more out of it. If I never use it again, no big deal because what it cost to buy it I would have spent the same to rent one for the weekend.
For tools that I plan on using for a long, long time, then I buy quality ones like Craftsman.

I spoke to Sears about the warranty. All of the precision measurement tools only come with a 1 year warranty, since they do need periodic adjustment and calibration. Sounds fair to me.

Funny that you would say that.. I went even cheaper and Bought a 10" Tile blade, Installed it on my Table Saw and mounted my garden hose over the whole assembly. Did the entire Den with it with no problems. Cost less than $10 and cut about 60 tiles.
