<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Chicago Electric Tools Low Quality
Average reviewers found Chicago Electric Tools sub-par compared to other brands, with many incidents of laser lights, blades and blade guards breaking on their saws. Other incidents include belts breaking on their rock tumblers. Professional reviewers have found Chicago Electric Tools---especially the multi-function tool---squared off and awkward in the hand and laden with highly fragile plastic motor parts.
On the Other: Chicago Electric Tools Well-Priced
Chicago Electric Tools (sold by Harbor Freight) can be purchased from the Harbor Freight website or from local retailers at a fraction of the price you would pay for other name brands.
Bottom Line
Although Chicago Electric Tools might not hold up against heavy, everyday use, Chicago Electric Tools are attractively priced for the hobbyist who needs a cheap rotary tool, routing tool or air tool for just a few applications. Purchase Chicago Electric Tools from a local retail store whenever possible for warranty purposes.
