Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Just bought this yesterday-I like it so far. Its a bit heavier than I hoped but that may turn out to be a feature later. Just cant lift it to store on top of cabinet like I hoped.

Did you look at the Rockwell Jaw Horse? I'm wondering how they compare .. other than price?

I love this guy's reviews. He is very clever about setting up the test jigs out of just old junk he has around the farm, though I've noticed he has purchased some nice test equipment to make objective measurements. I also find his results to be personally useful, especially stuff like tapes and glues.

Yep, one of my favorites is the reciprocating saw blades.

He does do a good job in testing and reviewing.

I just watched one of his reviews on Sea Foam test on his old truck.. I might try it. Also he had a free HF light hanging on the wall above his tool bench.

I see the Bauer bits are rated high. I use them as well. The do wear out but for me, last longer than the DeWalt's. I like his reviews too. Much better than the foul mouthed Canadian guy. I can do without the vulgar language myself. He is much preferred to me,

Just one? I've got, like, 25. :laughing:

Just bought 4 ton and 20 ton hydraulic jack. Should I drain and replace the oil immediately?
Most things HF I try and change the grease/oil immediately.

And if so is regular tractor hydraulic fluid ok?
