Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[stuckmotor]

Canadian Tire ? (not sure I've heard of Canadian Auto). Here in the west there are also a few Peavey Marts that are pretty good.

Tool / supply inventory is largely manufactured in China, I pick and choose the tool depending on my intended usage.

Yes, Canadian Tire. I tried to correct my mistake as soon as I saw it and thought I had. Somehow, the edit didn't stick.

The correction to Canadian Tire seems to be holding now.

Free stuff is back. Both the light and the magnet are really useful. The tarps are OK for the price, i.e FREE.

Anyone have one of the Titanium series MIG welders?

I see Torque Test Channel (on YT) just put the new Hercules 1/2" high torque battery powered impact up against the Milwaukee High Torque and it whipped it for nut busting power and a buck and a half less out the door price, plus HF is offering a 5 year unconditional money back (or exchange) guarantee on it.

I have both the Unlimited 200 and the MIG 170 or whatever, I got the MIG 170 open box for stupid cheap a few years ago and have been beating it up trying anything sketchy with it just to find it's limits, haven't found them yet... it's killed a GFI outlet, ran on a 4kw generator to the point it stalled the generator several times (until I found the sweet spot...), I've taken it camping several times a year while offroading and used it in camp to fix whatever came up so it's ran on at least 5 different generators... at this point I think I've put about 25 pounds of flux core through it... The arc is very smooth, the settings on the flap are fairly close...

Is it the best? no, are parts available? doubtful (although the circuit parts should be available at Mouser or Digikey if you figure out what's wrong...), do I regret getting into the Titanium line? Nope, kinda wish I hadn't gotten the unlimited 200 a month before I found the cheap 170 though...

I believe HF has replacement parts online.

I think I've decided that those blue puck lights are more of a ' do ' than a ' don't '. They don't seem to last very long either in use or in storage.

I don't disagree with ya but considering the cost I think I'll continue to get them.
