About Harbor Freight Tools
For more than 40 years, Harbor Freight Tools has been America’s go-to source for affordable tools, the company stated. The family-owned company started in Southern California in 1977, when 17-year-old Eric Smidt began transforming his father’s small phone sales business into a successful mail order company, bypassing the resellers, dealing directly with factories and passing the savings on to the customer. The company opened its first store in 1980.
Today, Harbor Freight Tools has 1,100 stores across the country, 21,000 associates and more than 40 million customers who depend on Harbor Freight’s quality and value to earn a living, repair their homes and cars and pursue their hobbies.
