Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Look at that... Haha

Huh?

HF has now discontinued the tractor rear work light. 55W H3 Halogen automotive bulb.

This was a great buy for anyone from Ford 2N up to modern tractors.
Easy rear fender mounting style.

It's been replaced by an LED type costing 3X the price. I can not use it due to LEDs tend to spook the cattle causing irregular shadows against large hay bales, barns, and trees. They stamped together.

This was my go-to light for under $10.

Nope, will not work.

Nope, will not work.

It’s going to get more and more difficult to find non LED lighting.

Huh?

Doing what he said worked... Would you look at that. I thought he meant he could see 2 days away for the sales though.

Nope, will not work.

Maybe use the website to see if there's any in stores that are within driving distance?

I picked up the grinder for $35 today, hopefully it's as good as my Porter Cable has been.

I’m impressed with the HF Hercules tools. The couple I have perform as well as my Dewalt and Milwaukee tools.

I went to all 4 stores, nothing. 2hr away to one that does show some stock.

I have that Hercules grinder. There's a review somewhere on YouTube showing it's the same thing as the 11 amp DeWalt with slight differences in unimportant trim.

I like it. This is a big step up from the HF 7 amp grinder, and a whole different world from the older 4.5 to 5.5 amp versions that that HF has sold for years.

I worry a little about shattering grinding discs because it can take a lot of pressure without bogging down.
