Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[Fallon]

One thing that most do not realize when comparing Torx to Phillips is that Torx tend to drive more easily because 99% have a drill tip...most Phillips do not.

True. But I have boxes of identical screws except for the drive type up in the shop at the moment. The torx ones often have that notch on the tip for a bit of self-drilling, but some Philip's have it as well & some torx dont. It does help, but I'm not sure if it's as much as the coupler not trying to cam out.

I love my buckets!! use em for tons of stuff! Nuts/bolts, chains, fencing supplies, just whatever. Even works well in a boat for keeping fish live. I like the ones with lids as it keeps everything inside clean. Yes, I have lots of storage buckets around.[snip]

Yup, and those of us who have had indoor cats probably have a good supply of "kitty litter" buckets. Complete with lids. :laughing:

I used to have a good supply, then they stopped using buckets and went to bags.

I have a standing order with all the neighbors to bring me their empty kitty litter buckets. Typically 3 or 3.5 gallon size. Rectangular is best for apple harvest. Hang it from a branch or an upper stair on the ladder using an 'S' hook. The apples are only handled once, into the bucket, then later that filled bucket is given to family, friends, neighbors.

One thing I've found - the oval Fresh Step buckets are intentionally biodegradable. After a few years a chunk will break off if you pick it up by the edge.

I have cats , but no litter box!! I train my cats to use the cat flap door and go outside like nice kitties!!

Don't like the smell from a litter box, even well taken care of and clean litter boxes still smell.

Well at least the free bucket I got wasnt made in China.
It was made in the Peoples Republic of California.

Not to be confused with the great state of Mexas.

They don't? Then I need to request HF free buckets from the city neighbors, in exchange for the apples I pick for them.

Kitty Litter in biodegradable bags instead of plastic buckets makes more sense when you think about it.
