Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[thepumpguysc]

I found a double burner propane heater at TRUE VALUE for 49.99.. shipping & tax came to 61. & some change, to my door..
Beats the HF "sale" at 59.99 + tax.. + they never have them when I go..******.
Heading there this morning for the "BIG SALE".. gonna get some saw horses, jack stands, maybe a jack, a new sand blaster cabinet & a parts washer.??

It's his thing... You'll rarely actually see him or his wife. It's a neat gimmick for him though.

He's got nothing at all to do with Harbor Freight officially, he is just another one of many who do these Harbor Freight based videos.

I also like to watch Struggleville on YouTube.

Thanks... Didn't know that...

Going to HFT today to pickup the post hole digger on sale for my fence project. I have to travel about 30-miles each way so must make the trip worth it if there is anything else needed. A member mentioned the sand blaster that would be a really nice tool to have maybe with a blast cabinet in the future. These cabinet setups require a mega CFM that I just don't have. The small one will be fun to mess with and learn what to do.

Picked up two of the Braun LED Worklights yesterday with the $19.99 coupon.

39 Lumen Magnetic Slim Bar Folding LED Worklight



I put them on USB charge and, after about an hour, they were fully charged. Their light output is very impressive. This seems to be another HF winner.

For those posting reviews, or complaints, it would be extremely helpful if you could post the HF link to the product so all can understand what you're talking about.

I picked up the 3 ton jack.. Man that thing is a BEAST..
The 3 ton jack stands.
The 30 bin wall mount containers. Now I have 3.
4 saw horses
Another pneumatic roll around stool
2 sets of ratcheting wrenches, sae & mm {woulda came in handy putting the carts together}
A laser thermometer
& a FEW other things that weren't on my list..
I got the 4 in 1 screwdriver FREE
The bill was 256.00
& THEN she had "the nerve" to put more sale papers in the bag.!!!
Looks like I'm going back in NOVEMBER...
The wife asked WHEN THAT SALE was..
I told her in November.. she said, GOOD.. we NEED a break from that place.. Lol
We've been every Saturday for 3 weeks.. over a 100 mile R/T..

Been meaning to ask about those. Been considering them for a while.

You'll wait a full 10 months?

I've been searching this thread for info on which are the better Harbor Freight roller tool chests. I know they've been discussed repeatedly in this thread, but my searches keep turning up completely unrelated things.

This will be my first, since currently m tools are stored in a series of hand-carried tool boxes and bags. I need to upgrade my tool storage and organization, and want to start with something durable (but I'm not going to spend "Snap-on" prices).

I was in HF last night, and wandered down the tool chest and cart isle. I used to joke with my wife that HF is like a candy store to me. Apparently they were listening because that isle looks more like candy than ever. The 5 drawer tool carts now come in Blue, Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green. Seeing that bright assortment of carts in a line brings a smile to your face. Unfortunately they still don't have the folding side trays in stock for any color other than the original Red.

I finally got a black folding side tray for the 5 drawer cart. After finding every other color in stock except black, and wondering if the store had them in back and didn't bring them out since they had black 4 drawer trays on the shelf already, I asked an employee. He gave me reason after reason of why they don't have any in stock ("We are the last store in the country to get new stock", "None of the new color trays have shipped yet. Oh, we DO have the other 5 colors in stock. hmmm.", "Maybe they had them in stock earlier and sold them all"). After practically getting into an argument with him about why his excuses made no sense, he finally agreed to check the back room in case they did have some. He found a full case, unopened, in the back. He says he thinks they had them back there for a month.

Anybody tried the PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 6.25 Oil Extractor?



I'm looking for an easier way to change the oil on my Walk Behind string trimmer, wood chipper, lawn mower, 3 small generators, pressure washer, etc.

Your late.
They recently "upgraded" most of their line.
Previously they had the 26" x20" top and bottom US General red for as low as $295(?approx). now the base alone goes for that. They added 2 inches in depth and several colors for a couple of hundred dollars.
What size space do you want to fill? You can't cram 2 44's into a 72 space.
