Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[lostcreekranch]

We have the 3 1/2 cubic foot version. I think it was $189 on sale.

It will do 2x 60lb bags, but I prefer to do them one at a time. I think that's around .45 cubic foot each. I'm happy with it.

Runs off a little 1600w generator.

I dump the mixed concrete directly into the BX2370 bucket, then drive it to the destination and dump / shovel it out.

I bought that one about 18 months ago, for a project. Decided to upgrade it a bit. The little tires are a joke. I had a couple of bigger tires from a fertilizer spreader I “recycled”.



Made the mixer much easier to move around.

Nice upgrade.

Thanks Island! Need a pair of junior wheels?

BTW, I have the Sherwin Williams formula to match the HF orange paint, if anyone needs it.

Can anyone comment on this 1 1/2 ton aluminum jack? It's $60 tomorrow and that's as cheap as I've seen it.

Excellent jack!

I’ve got a 3 ton Craftsman jack but, the HF 1.5 ton is my go to jack. You will not be disappointed!

I personally don't like the "rapid pump" floor jacks. I have never done a NASCAR pit stop so I have never needed to jack a car up in less than 3 pumps. The extra force needed to raise it that quickly isn't usually a problem but when you are trying to position something and are using one hand to steady/ guide it into place and the other to pump the jack up that extra force is annoying. But trying to maneuver a steel floor jack that weighs more than twice the aluminum jack also is annoying. For $60, I probably would buy one too if I didn't upgrade to a 2 post lift.

I recently purchased the 2 ton version for $120. Seems pretty nice.

Lotta MC buddies are picking up the motorcycle lift for less than $300. We just do not have the room.

Pneumatic roller seat is $19, had one for years.

Hehe. Me too. Love it.
Less portable though....
