Some of their tools do. The flat black impact sockets,Plastic coated ratchets, air tools and tool boxes are great.
"Some" is not good enough for Tool Truck vending. Consistency is paramount; buyers want to know how long the tool will last, period. It doesn't have to be "forever" although there is a place for such tools, but it has to be a number they can get their head around and one that is proven in the field.
Harbour Freight ... we have a similar store called House Of Tools (aka "House of Chinese Tools") ... they don't vet the tools they buy closely enough to offer that. If some tools happen to be excellent, that's actually worse as it skews the inconsistency higher than if they were merely adequate.
