Harbor freight can be useful for cheap non-powered tools as long as you take it all with a grain of salt.

There were about a half dozen scroll saws in my high school's shop. I don't think they were ever used once for FRC in the time between when I was a high school freshman and a college senior. Jig saws were more versatile.

Don't buy this brand. For all your cordless tools, pick a single name brand and voltage, and ONLY buy that. Only needing one cordless tool charger is better than six different brands and voltages. The Ryobi 18v line of tools at Home Depot are relatively decent quality for their price. DeWalt and Makita are better quality (and more expensive).

These are the only Allen keys you should ever buy: http://www.mcmaster.com/#high-torque-hex-keys/

I've used high-torque Allen keys for years and have yet to strip out the hex key on any of them.
