Harbor Freight tools thread.

Yeah thats what i was thinking. Getting the 3 ton jack stands for $17.99 also.

 

It'll work perfectly fine for tire rotations and basic maintenance. I would recommend the larger 6ton jack stands though as their saddle fits the frame better and the wider base affords you more stability.

 

If your truck is at stock height yes. Get the 6ton jack stands.

 

Right on. Thanks guys!

 

Swapped out my HF torque wrench because it stopped clicking -- no problems! I even had the receipt and the employee told me I didn't really need it.

 

FYI this one worked fine today while doing a full ATF flush. Just gotta pump it slowly.

 

Good info, I just used my 1/2" drive one to torque the cam bolts. Worked good. Thanks.

 

I used the same pump when I did my flush, it worked like a champ.

 

Pump works great. Used it to replace my diff fluids.

 

My boat cover filled with water during the crazy rain we've had in SoCal. The added weight broke my trailer jack. Went to Harbor Freight and got a new one for $30. 1500 lb and dual wheels, so stronger than the 1200 lb single wheel jack I had. Had to get a 1.5 ton floor jack, too... to get the trailer off the ground... $80.

 

I love Harbor Freight. I've bought a few power tools from them along with some other things. I know it's cheap stuff but for occasional use, it suits my needs.

Used the HF television mount on my 47inch LCD tv. I realize it doesn't take much to make a tv mount, but this one works great.

 

I got all my 3 tvs mounted with it.

 

I have a 60" in the living room on one. Has been in use for 4-5 yrs so far. My parents bought one with the TV for like $150. I laughed and returned it and got the HF one.

 

Yeah it's crazy how nice and simple it is. It's my first and only time mounting a television. But it was super easy. Like I said, I can't compare it to more expensive models but the HF one seems awesome.

 

How do you like your toolbox?

 

Honestly wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it is. I have the Milwaukee 60in (to the right) and it was $700. And that thing is pretty amazing for me. I can't compare it so Snap-On or anything.
But back to the HF tool cart. It was $320 and it's actually pretty badass. The drawers slide nicely, casters seem beefy, and the locking mechanism works great. It also has a lot of smaller drawers which I like. If I had known the quality was this nice I might have purchased the 47inch rolling cart also and save money instead of my Milwaukee.
I'm really not sure on Husky or Kobalt vertical tool cart prices and quality. But for $320 it's got to be hard to beat the HF US General style.

Edit: To add to this on how nice it is. Like I said, wasn't expecting too much when I bought it. But after I got it home, out of the box, and assembled I was in shock of how nice it was. Went inside and told my wife to come check it out. But, she didn't give a crap. Anyways, it was nice enough that I wanted to show it off.

 

Thanks. That helps. My wife bought me one of the black stacked boxes probably 5 or so years ago. It is better than the current black box, but has started to fail. The drawer I keep my sockets in is has a failed slide. Constantly gets stuck. I read nothing but good things on the 28" stacked red. Don't need anything bigger. I really appreciate your assessment. Way better to get this first hand! I have a coupon for 299. Think I will pick the box up.
