Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Pneumatic roller seat is $19, had one for years.

I like mine but I didn't realize it was so low until I got it home. Its height is for doing a brake job or something, not for sitting at a workbench.

Rolling here and there to fetch tools or parts is handy.

I like the Mechanic's Rolling Seat, too. Its handy to accumulate tools and parts as a project progresses.

BTW, I have the Sherwin Williams formula to match the HF orange paint, if anyone needs it.

Rick, Ha! Move over, Kubota and Kioti! It's a testament to HF's growing respect when some of us even want to match their paint color!

Is it the same as Kubota? Ariens And Kubota Are Chevrolet Engine Orange.

Now if I could match Honda snow thrower red.

All you need to do is find a removable part that has unfaded paint and get color scan. S-W does it and I’m sure other paint stores do as well.

I'm wondering if it might depend on the location. A couple years ago I tried to have a local S-W here match the "Burnt Orange" color that Woods uses on their implements. Was told they could do it in latex paint, but not enamel! Skeptical, I got the contact number for a regional S-W rep, and she confirmed! Maybe it would be different now.

I could have had it custom-matched by an automotive paint vendor, but that would have been pretty expensive for just touch-up. Or ordered from Woods through an authorized dealer. Last year I discovered that TSC sells a very close match, off the shelf, and it's available in a rattle can. Case Power Yellow 8-22983 by Majic.

Lotta MC buddies are picking up the motorcycle lift for less than $300. We just do not have the room.

Mine lost all the caster bearings within a couple of months, and the seat was too small for my large fundus, but the base and hydraulics were sturdy, so I put on new casters and the old OEM seat from our Kubota, now it's great.

Yeah, for $15 which is what the dealer charges.

Chevy Engine Orange is $4 at any big box or hardware store. Haven’t found anything easily removable on the Honda snow thrower.

Good old bondo in the casting voids. Why expect less?

Bought one of these belt sanders from HF several years ago.....it was cheap with a coupon. I have abused the heck out of it........still going strong and doing the job.
