They sell insurance on anything you buy. GET IT. 90% of anything you buy there is gonna fail. I got a Rice Bin full of Orange Harbor Freight Junk that I can't return.

Not-so-big secret about Northern Tool:

Most of the off-brand stuff that they sell is EXACTLY THE SAME as what Harbor Freight sells, except for the paint color and the price. Northern charges a whole lot more for the same subpar to mediochre tools and equipment.

I do like my HF 7" angle grinder, though. Makes lots of sparks and they're actually coming off the wheel and not out of the case! :)

I've got a Harbor Freight stand. It currently has a completely assembled Farmall F12 engine on it. After seeing it with the F12 engine, I won't put anything heavier on it. Before I do anything bigger, I will buy or build a heavier stand.

I've got the 2000# non-foldup model and I built a 6610 Ford engine on it recently but I got real worried there towards the end, when I would leave it for the night I'd put my floor jack and a block of wood under the front just to ease my mind a bit, but it held.

The Torin PROBABLY comes out of the same Chinese factory as this one.

I have one. A 4020 block sans head is almost too much for it, but it did hold it.
