As others have mentioned, some items Harbor Freight sells are good values while others are less so.
One item I have bought a LOT of is their larger size wooden moving dolly.

Most of mine are holding machines and other items for the shop I'm building. Some were used as they came from the store. Others were held in place with ratchet straps - also from Harbor Freight.

Some dollies have been bolted to the equipment.
And a few have been cut apart and remodeled to be more suitable for the task at hand. Yesterday for example I cut the long sides of one, drilled the two carpeted ends for carriage bolts, and fastened them to the base of a Craftsman Commercial Metal Lathe (12"x36" 550 pounds). Then I bolted cut to fit lengths of 1"x4" to the cut ends, so now the lathe has its own dolly.
Local Sunday paper usually has a flyer and many magazines include print ads for Harbor Freight. These ads usually include a 20% off coupon and a coupon for a free item with any purchase, as well as coupons or special prices on other things. I wait until the dollies or straps are on sale and buy ahead...
