Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I'm off to Menards for these anchors in 1/2bolt x 20thd x 2-deep.

Anyone know off hand the bolt length needed? Would 3-inch or 2-3/4 work?

Took some measurements, 3-inches is the way to go!

That makes sense as the foot is maybe an inch thick U channel.

Here's a HF Don't Suck. The $60 ATV Cargo Carrier.

It's just right for my Focus Wagon. That's a light car, 2768 lbs and front wheel drive, so a heavier carrier hanging out the rear could make it unstable.

I made the adapter to mount its 2" stinger into the 1.25" receiver on the Focus, using a HF ATV hitch accessory welded below a spare ball mount.

This works great for light bulky loads. I'm about to use it today.
Recommended!

I think that a lot of the maligning of HF stuff is from people who are incapable of doing repair or modification. Those of us who can will look at something and say 'it's a good starting point, but it needs a gusset here... or this needs to be sleeved...' and it's good.
Cali, I highly doubt that you could build that from scratch for $60, and the way that you intend to use it will serve you for years.

Should get a pic of mine. I mounted one of those on the back of my ATV for hauling deer out of the woods. As I aged, I found it harder and harder to pull a fair sized doe ,or even worse a nice buck, up onto the front of my 4 wheeler. This cargo carrier sits low enough to make that chore a little easier. I even made the reciever foldable so that it didn't drag the ground it wasn't loaded.

Excuse my off topic post but I thought it may be important to mention this. I learned a lesson at HF today. I bought a Bauer 20V Li 4.5" grinder off of the return discount table. Got home, put in a battery and while it did run, it vibrated badly and if I turned the arbor by hand, I could feel a "clunk". I just assumed that it would work. I won't denigrate HF because if I understand their policy, I have five days to return it. Going forward, I will be checking the arbor movement, etc., on any return power tool. A couple of years ago, I bought the same model grinder off of the discount rack and it has served me well.

A while back I posted that in each project I verify my $12 HF click torque wrench, comparing it with my ancient Indestro beam torque wrench. This guy found his 50yo beam torque wrench is more accurate than his more expensive Icon or Tekton modern click wrenches..
