I've been in Harbour Frieght in W.V. Store smells "exactly" the same as P/Auto!!! Maybe thats their secret, It's the smell that "MAKES YOU BUY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That smell is Chinese Tools.
Closest Harbour Freight for ME is in Everett,WA.
About 100 miles away & on my way to Seattle. (can't drive past without stopping)
I think Princess Auto has MORE inventory but Harbour Freight has MORE car related stuff.
We have KSM Tools here,which is just as good as the other two,but DIFFERENT again.
