It has a long "tong" one in the set, which I use when I need to reach far under the table or part to clamp something. I have to make sure it clamps squarely and while it doesn't hold a lot of pressure due to the length, it's paid for itself many, many times over. I have a saw that I loaned a friend 10 years ago and he's still using it. I have had several grinders. Last one was stolen off my truck on a jobsite, and left me brand new DeWalt sitting beside it. I guess the bright orange was prettier than the industrial yellow. I had a couple of welding hoods a few years ago, and one lasted quite a while, but the other I had to return and exchange it for the one that lasted. My first plasma was a HF, italian built job. Still have it. I bought a cast steel anvil (100+lb) The biggest disappointment was a 200 amp MIG I bought from HF. It was a roll around unit, built in Russia. It had the best arc I had ever seen but the constant bird's nesting made me return it and get my ESAB.
Thats the nice thing about harbor freight. You really are not taking a chance on one of their tools because if you do not like it you can take it back with no problems. I am amazed at how much stuff I find there that I can use. I just bought a 20 in drill press from them with a 25% coupon. It is the same drill press delta and craftsman sell but for less than half of what they cost. For $435 tax included I can't go wrong. The next time Im there I will check out the welding table.
