What does the hive mind think of these pots?

Hey all,

Received a local ad for Harbor Freight and saw this item: http://www.harborfreight.com/stainless-steel-4-piece-stock-pot-set-94829.html

Locally they are on sale for $19.99 for the 4 of them. Wondered what y'all think. Good deal? Don't bother?

The biggest one,at 16 qt is 4 gallons. Just big enough for partial boils. I got the set at Giant Eagle where the largest is 20qt,or 5 gallons. But the 4G would do for now.

IMO, useless/don't bother with them. They're too small to be of much use except for partial boils (at best). They're probably extremely thin too, so scorching will easily occur.

Save your ~$20 and put it towards a pot that is worth it.

Also, IMO, with Harbor Freight you get really cheap items at cheap prices. Pretty much gettinv what you paid for. Sure there could be a few jems in the box of coal, but good luck finding them. If the price looks too low to be real (or far below what it costs fof decent versions elsewhere, like Amazon) then buyer beware. I picked up a set of drill bits there, titanium coated step bits, for what I thought was a great price. They made half as many holes as my cobalt bit before they won't drill any thickness stainless. The other bit still works better. Lesson learned by me.

they look like the same ones that boscovs department store sells for dirt cheap. i started with one it is paper thin if you dont plan on drilling should be fine for extract partial boils on the cheap. but you will definately upgrade.
