Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[reb]

Ok so I found a website that claims the coupons they have are legit. And that I can get a bunch of cheap stuff for free with no additional purchase required? True statement?
...

Lately it seems that the freebies must be accompanied by a purchase, tho I have seen one or two lately that required no purchase.

I buy the 59 cent paint brushes (less 20%....lol) I use 'em and toss 'em. Not worth cleaning and they work OK.

Yeah but the coupons specifically say no purchase required. One for a flashlight one for batteries and one for a multi meter.

I saw that too. As I recall four items with 'No Purchase Required'.

Does anyone own one of the 1/2" lightweight composite impact wrenches? I think they are on sale for $85 or so. Are they that much lighter than the regular Earthquake 1/2" wrench?

Agreed, considering cost of some solvents those cheepo brushes also get tossed here as well.

But I also have some that will never be tossed, mainly 'real bristle' types.
I also have a few very expensive artist camel hair brushes that I use for touch ups that simply match a spray job.
(at one time I distributed artist supplies hence my source, (samples))

When I find a source of real bristle brushes I usually buy them out! (most today are plastic (nylon) bristles, Bah!

Yes, they are not great brushes, but as far as a cheap purchase to enable a freebie, a good bargain. I find them acceptable for touch up work around the house. And with a septic system I don't like to clean brushes.

Not sure if this magnetic tool holder has been mentioned. http://www.hfqpdb.com/coupons/28_FREE_18__MAGNETIC_TOOL_HOLDER_1485540427.9788.jpg I have half a dozen of them and use them all over the place. I even have one in my kitchen as a wall mounted knife rack. They are great for keeping wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers etc etc within easy reach and aren't as fussy to use as dedicated slots.

I love these things and grab one every time I have a freebee coupon. The magnets are so strong that I picked up two at a time and they snapped into alignment taking a chunk of skin and flesh out of my thumb.

I keep about 4 of them scattered around the shops with a 5' or so length of cord tied to one end. They are great for getting that screw or nail I dropped which bounced or rolled under something.

I'm not close enough to stop there often to get the free stuff. Only got a couple free things so far.

This is a great idea. You could zip tie one to a rake and use it to comb an area with loose nails, like after a roofing job.

Good idea!

I have a spare one around here somewhere. I think I will try attaching it to the top of my shop push broom with a couple of wood screws so I can flip the broom over to use the magnet for hunting lost parts.

Yea, especially the free items. What's a guy to do with 50 flashlights? :laughing:

I took 35 of them with me, to give away in Cuba.

One item I'd put on the sucks list is the plastic ammo box. Ammo Box
My boxes don't say Bunker Hill but I bought two to put on the back of my homemade rear blade that I scrape my gravel road with. In one I put my tools and bolts for shear bolt replacement and the other holds chains and hooks to pull out the neighbors out of the ditch.

They leak. I'm not sure how the snow gets in but it does and my tools get wet.

I picked up a 20 ton air bottle jack, guess I'll see how well it works soon.

They work great. Installed one on my 20 ton HF Press.

I also put one on my 20T HF press as well. Love it. No more arm pumping!
