Harbor Freight is treated as a discount chain. It's actually a privately-held brand empire with more American tool names than Stanley Black and Decker. Pittsburgh, Bauer, Hercules, Icon, Quinn, Predator, Chicago Electric. All under one roof. This is the story of Eric Smidt, the North Hollywood catalog his father started, and how it outlasted Sears. #HarborFreight #AmericanManufacturing #ToolHistory #PittsburghTools #craftsman
