I use my Meglinating Variable Intensity Multifunction Power Tool to clean my playfield!
Amazing! No Artwork left! 
Quoted from bitCurrier:yes, Mad #515 June 2012
Dang, I didn't realize mad still came out. Is it consistently good?
Love that everything is higher priced than the normal price! 
I was in a Harbor Freight when a guy came in and said to one of the guys working there "I've never seen so much Chinese made shit in my life." The guy working there said "Where do you think most of the tools that the other stores sell are made?"
Yup, good point.

Still full of lols 
I'm really dense and didn't notice that it was a fake ad till I read the comments. Was just looking at the pictures. (Doh). Very funny stuff
I love Harbor Freight. yes - I have a crap ton of Craftsman, Husky, and Kobalt tools as well. But HF has some phenomenal deals and I have had just as much name brand crap fail quickly as I have the HF stuff. So all things equal I would rather pay half the price if it's going to last the same time frame....
I just bought their 56" toolbox and I think it's one of the best on the market - across brands! Is it a Snap-on...No. Is it damn close...yes! And for thousands cheaper. I have three uncles and a father that are mechanics that have Snap-on/Mac/Matco and they all agree that the gap in quality of tools is rapidly closing....
Not a big fan of their power tools, but for a screw driver set or a disposable tarp, hard to beat the prices.
Their pneumatic stuff is top notch. The framing nailer is one of the best cheap purchases I ever bought. HLVP gun works flawless, as well as the brad/crown stapler, impact wretch. Fittings are also cheap so building a air station is cheap and affordable.
I just wouldn't buy power tools their unless it is a one time use tool.
Also their hardwood nailer is very good. Floored three complete new homes with one without a hitch. Paid for itself many times over. FWIW.
The MAD add was very funny. Spot on with the Dremel. I bought the one shown to cut down some screws that were too long. The tool had almost no power so it took forever. However I think it was six bucks and it did the Job, eventually.
I have things from HF that have turned out to be great buys. I got a rolling bicycle rack you won't find anywhere else. I still have three adirondack chairs that were unfinished for $25 each that are now 8 or 9 years and left out in weather 24/7 (I did paint them). Their cheap reciprocating saw handles small jobs well.
I'm surprised Mad didn't make reference to their tools being "pre-rusted" like the socket driver set I immediately returned.
