Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Whose "lifetime"? Most of their product lines (other than the el cheapo Chicago Electric, etc.) seem to be discontinued after 5 years or so.

The last time this happened, they gave a replacement set from the replacements.

Thanks bearthebruce, I just tried it and it seemed to work. Midniteoyal, whenever I've just hit reply to a post - it never posted the quote I was replying to; which is why I asked for guidance. Thanks to you also.

Good to know. I will say that they do try to take care of their customers.

Everybody get the 25% off anything, (any single item, no exceptions, in-store only) email coupon?

I clicked on 'view in browser' and there was no discount in that view. Strange.

No, I usually get those but didn't get that one. Can you do a snip and paste?

Mine said 10%. Still didn't actually show the discount on the webpage though.

The email coupon I received is 15% off any single item in store only and ends Monday the 17th

 

[John_Mc]

My coupon was just 30% off all items $10 and under. I see that one regularly. Basically, it's worthless to me - I ignore it. If I happen to be in there and buying something inexpensive anyway, I might look on my phone to see if I have one of these coupons that is still good.

The 25 or 30% off any single item are enough to make me stop ang go through my wish list or the catalog to see if there is something I've been waiting to buy.

i have one of these. Still working well after about 10 years of periodic use. I had to fix the switch soon after i got it (loose connections,) but after that no problems.

Just a thought - if they can discount 'any single item', even expensive stuff, by 30% to get you into the store - then their margins must be huge.

Hoping this one ends up being a Good HF product...

They beat the heck out of the pallet- it fell apart when we got it off the truck.

Or I Hope the Mill is built better than what they shipped it in.

A few years ago I ended up with the 4x6"? horizontal band saw used for $60, finally used it over the last week, the first cuts weren't great so I dug into it a little and the eccentric bolts were loose for the leading edge guide bearings, tightened those up and it cuts dang near perfect... the red ones have a few nicer features than the green one I have but I'm not going to complain, so much nicer than abrasives...

I've had mine about forever. It cuts a ton of structural. Only thing I did was, one I replaced the soy oil in the gearbox with synthetic grease, added grease fittings to the bandwheels and installed a real motor. The Chineseum motor went up in stinky smoke pretty quick. Buy my blades from MSC. I use the Lennox brand. Good saw. I think when I bought it, it was around 100 bucks, way back when.

Do keep in mind that the HF Inverters are all modified sine wave so they really are not electronics friendly.

Pardon my dust, thought you were referring to the 12 volt to 110 volt HF Inverters.

I'd like to have one of those inverter generators myself. Lots of good reviews everywhere on them.

That Chinese wood leaves a lot to be desired....lol Looks to be like a stout little machine. Grizzly sells the same one as well, just a different color.

Here's a website that claims to name HF's principal suppliers. I don't know much about this but I thought some might find it interesting.
