Wow Art, I have tons of tools (just ask Tab) ranging from mainly Snap-On/Mac wrenches sockets and other hand tools, Milwaukee drills to some cheapo occasional use stuff from Harbor Freight. Sounds like you simply need to make wiser choices about "which" Harbor Freight tools will do the intended odd job and which tools (like sockets and everday use wrenches) should be of good name brand quality.
Some HF seldom use tools I have off the top of my head that have worked great for my in particular occasional use: sawzall, buffer, bead rolling kit, handheld electric planer, GIANT size wrenches, engine stand, engine hoist, latex gloves, cheap paint brushes for epoxy use etc
Some tools that I use often that I would never replace with HF junk: Multiple sets of wrenches, Sockets, Ratchets, "real" Visegrips, sidecut pliers, corded and cordless drills, tig welder, 13" planer, phillips screwdrivers, torque wrenches, bench grinders, milling machines, lathe etc.
