Has anyone tried their new gloves?

View attachment 569045

How do they run in size? I've found their other XL's to be a tight fit.

And what does "REISITS" mean other than poor quality control?
I purchase a lot of items at H.F. that I expect them do the job I want. But I never shop there with the thought of buying "top of the line" products at "bottom line prices".

For several years now, almost every thing I purchased at Harbor Freight met my expectations. Some even surpassed, like tool boxes and impact sockets.

I've found the blonde leather/red trim gloves serve me well. When they occasionally have a sale, limit 6, I buy several pair.

I write the year purchased on the cuff and see that they typically last me better than a year before the seams start to open up, or blackberry thorns poke through. No complaints.

I tried the pigskin ones but they seemed too lightweight.

I usually wear through, rip, cut, or otherwise ruinate gloves faster than I can buy them...

I bought some of these late last winter, and they haven't ripp
ed, torn, cracked, or let me get cut, despite my attempts to cut myself cutting with axes, saws, knives, and machetes: 91Mpr9F1tiL._SL1500_.jpg

only, right now they're out of stock- and as they're mil-surp, who kno
ws if they'll get them back in...

These are very similar, but just a little more spendy:

I had an older version of this and used it for 8? years with no problems. Mine worked fine but I remember not wanting them again.

After that, I went with ones like this Milton one and coupled it with a water filter. Mine are earlier versions of the same thing.

I paint a lot so wanted to err on the side of caution and wanted it to work and work right with no drama.
Everything still works fine and it's been 12 or so years. I have the old fashioned black iron pipe design and mine are maybe 10 pipe ft away yet they are close to the compressor. I have them right before the hose outlet.

That Milton link worked but the Northerntool didn't, it keeps opening up to VigLink and I dont know why that is, does anyone know why that is? If I google Northerntool I can go to their air filter section and there's quite a selection but dont know which one your talking about. I do have to have 3/8" input and I see a lot of air filters with built in (Lubricator)<<<what is that and why is it needed or wanted? When I see the word Lube---------I think of oil when I see oil I dont see why that would be good in an air line system when spraying paint, as far as air tool oil I can add in my own oil.

It's part number 41031 as seen in the link. So just hop to Northern tool, search Milton 41031 and you'll see what he's got.

Has anyone got this service cart? Thinking about getting one.

Haul-Masterョ- item#61930

My neighbor bought one of these about 4 years ago, left it sitting outside in our hot scorching sun. When he moved last year, he gave it to me. It has now been used frequently and I haven't had any problems with it. I had to oil the wheels, but that's it. I would say it would be worth it.

Anyone have or used the Zurich Automotive Diagnostic Tools and Equipment – Harbor Freight Tools
Code Readers ?
Been thinking of getting one for my tool collection.
Yes, bought the Z11 second one down. I picked it up a couple months back because my son's 2014 Cruze was screwed. Ended up being multiple cylinder misfire, so I pulled the coil bar for examination and found 3 of the 4 coil contacts rotted and one cracked. Replaced the coil bar and all 4 plugs and the car is perfect again.
