Harbor Freight tools thread.

20 ton shop press. I just got the motorcycle lift table. But actual tools? Just say no, unless you only need to use it once.

 

As your primary tools, I agree. If you want a cheap set of something in cases of high probability of neglect or theft they are not bad. I have a set of box end wrenches that have been kicking around my vehicles for 3 or so years now and I am happy with them.

 

Just stumbled upon this thread. Here is my Harbor Freightenstien Mill

 

The wires absolutely kill me. I'm a big big fan of wall mounted televisions, but I hate seeing wires Mounted with a cheapo $16 eBay mount :

 

I'm so excited about everything that's happening in this picture

 

I'll get the wires hidden buddy. Bought the house a few months ago. With work and two kids I haven't had much garage time.

 

Here's the view of my garage from the other angle. The television wires were the least of my concern at the moment. Just trying to get things organized slowly.

 

Where did you get the grey storage box with the drawers?

 

Just got one last week. Coupon was on the back.

 

Not on mine.

We need more info and a write up!

 

Never realized I had a Harbor Freight store a couple towns over from me, just went and picked up some 6 ton jack stands and some ratchet wrenches, wish they offered more in the wrench department.

 

I don't know if it has been stated but I have found that their brake caliper set to be really useful when working a multitude of different vehicles, I originally bought it for my 2008 VW Jetta to do the rear pads. I like their price point on a few other tools I use too like 4.5" angle grinder etc...

 

Pistol grip grease gun @ $15 is the latest acquisition and is great quality.

 

20 ton bottle jack used to jack up the rotted out header over my two car garage door opening. Life saver during home repairs late on a Sunday when my 3 1/2 ton jack wouldn't do the job. When I forget my coupon I just google Harbor Freight coupon and I'm good. Never had a problem using an electronic coupon.

 

Nice, already got 2!!

 

I just figured I have enough measuring tapes and I don't need a multimeter since I have a Fluke. Now I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with it.

 

That's the wrong philosophy.

I got a fluke meter as well. I go to my HF meter 90 percent of the time.

When I drop my HF meter, no big deal. I got 3 more in the tool chest.

When I drop my Fluke meter, I always think, that's gonna make an expensive noise.
