Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[LS Tractor Owner]

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


I purchased both sets of the ratcheting wrenches about 6 months ago. They have become my 'go to' wrenches. My old REAL Craftsmen wrenches sit in the drawer ! I have used the ratchet side and beat on them to loosen rusted nuts and haven't broken one yet. I think I got them for $15.99 or $19.99 plus the 20% off. I have been thinking of getting another 2 sets...

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..

They use to always have a coupon for the 30 bin containers for $9.99 but I haven't seen it in a little while. They are fine for holding smaller nuts and bolts.

I bought the old 26" combo and old 44" and old 5-drawer cart about a month before they switched to the new format.

I wish I'd waited. I like the new ones much better.

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.

Try and look for the versions marked "Taiwan".

I spent way too much money there this weekend... went Saturday to check out the "open box" stuff that was 20% off the marked price, nothing amazing but they did have a couple things that peaked my interest at 50% off so went this morning and spent a lot...

Titanium Unlimited 200 welder for $225 like I just bought for $650, unopened box... will transfer this to my buddy that needs a new welder...
Titanium Mig 170 for $125 (going to have two shops soon so 2 welders would be good)
The Lynx 40V leaf blower and pole saw for $40 and $50 respectively, the pole saw even had 2 batteries! have a gas leaf blower, but this will make bonfires easier...
3 ton jack for $40, again the two shop thing will need doubles.

Really tempted at a yellow tool cart for around $80 and one of the 420cc engines for about the same but I'm out of space and the shop isn't built yet...

I've never seen "open box" prices that low in the HF stores out here. The Lynxx 40v blower and pole saw are especially nice items. Congratulations! Don't know why they would be discounted so much, unless they're missing a part. With the blower, I don't know of anything that could be missing, tho. With the pole saw, check to make sure the circlip ("c" clip) that holds the chain sprocket in place is there. If not, I think it's a 10mm. HF doesn't sell them, but Grainger and Fastenal do. The OEM clip on mine and on a buddy's was slightly too large, and his actually popped off in use.

I bought the rolling mitre saw stand yesterday along with the ratcheting SAE and metric wrenches. I also picked up the 3 pack of step drill bits and an infared thermometer

The thermometer is really a neat tool. I checked out all parts of the house yesterday. Lol The temperature in the wood stove was over 900 pointed at the hot burning coals.

I was wondering the same thing. Most of what I've seen here on their various "blowout" sales is discontinued items, or other stuff that didn't sell as well as some regular priced items made to look like a huge bargain. Maybe I just missed anything good.

I have to ask though, who is marketing genius at HF that has a parking lot sale in the middle of January? Maybe not a big deal in SoCal, but it's winter in the northern half of the country. Barely got out of the single #s all weekend here.
