Harbor Freight — Attraction in City of Ithaca

Plus! I got a lifetime guarantee on every item in the box! If a bit breaks, they'll give me a new...

The help at Cortland New York is much more courteous. In Ithaca they have an open box table. There was an open and scarred multi-tool Hercules for 64 dollars in 99 cents. I asked the woman manager how much a new one was, she said I don't know you would have to go look . Turns out a new one is 79.99. The new one comes in a box with accessories and Blades.
