Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

What happened to HF's yellow funnel tray? They are ideal for pouring random parts out of a jar when searching for a 'I knew I had one - somewhere'.

The funnel is what makes this worthwhile, for reloading the parts into the jar.

Not found at HF, and none on Amazon, except for third-party with substantial shipping cost.

Any ideas for an alternative?

Got a friend with a 3D printer? They could print one for you.

Clipped the corner off a steel pan about 40 years ago. Still works.

Bingo! That's it. Thanks!

I got one that day and multiple days after not to miss the sidewalk sale. No percent off coupons though. The sidewalk sale was not impressive even after 3 or 4 reminder emails. SPAM.

Even the coupons are worthless unless you have a smartphone to take a picture of for them to scan. Store will only accept "original", and not one that's been printed out. I agree on spam.

Everything I have seen printed with a 3D printer was rough with laminations from the print head passes. Would make a very bad oil pan, or pan for anything dirty, without having the surface machined or heavily sanded.

The finish depends a lot on the layer thickness and extruder nozzle size. A coat of filler/primer, an little sanding and paint and you can have some pretty nice looking items.

I got a Harbor Freight trash pump today, worked great filling tank & watering things.
