Harbor Freight tools thread.

Do you drive a Pinto and keep your truck in the garage because tires for the truck are more expensive? Or because if you get in a wreck the truck would cost more to repair?

I've dropped my Fluke. That nice rubber case on it bounces pretty good. It sleeps in a nice padded case in my tool box. I do have a HF meter in the cabinet in the garage, still in its package. I gave away the others that I had.
I'll go for the Fluke before the HF.

 

Was just on the website, why do they have 2 or 3 of what appears to be the same product but with different item numbers? Any difference in the items?

 

There are a bunch like that, usually when there is a product or packaging design change.

 

Ha, ha. Kinda.
I've got a Tundra in the garage that hasn't moved since October. It runs just fine, just prefer running the Tacoma for everyday driving.

 

Make no mistake....Harbor freight sells cheap junk that is made in Chinlaeshistan.

That being said, there is some deals to be had there.

Never buy hand tools from Harbor freight with the exception of impact sockets. Craftsman hand tools carry a lifetime warranty, are much higher quality and not much more money.

Never buy dangerous power tools from Harbor freight (circular saws, table saws, etc.) The displays are falling apart.

I've had decent luck with pneumatic implements from Harbor freight but you can tell that the quality is lacking.

 

I never realized when some one said something was made in " Fucking, China" they we referring to a city in China.

 

They were most like likely not referring to a "city in china" but referencing China as an undesirable country.

Yeah baby

 

They have different part# for the same item, it depends on the region they sell it.

I use this site now. Easiest way and dont have to keep track of coupons.
Just write the coupon number down and read the numbers to the cashier
Works every time

 

I bought the little Flux core welder for like $100 and the welding helmet for like $40 and ended up teaching my self to weld and finally making my own rocksliders that take have taken a beating when i go wheeling so i say HF has some good stuff

 

I don't have a coupon to look at but I'm guessing they're not valid on tool boxes

 

But they do put out coupons for tool boxes on a fairly regular basis.

 

Thank you. Figured so

 

Which one are you interested in?

 

Boom

 

This thread has made me want to get that 44" cabinet.

 

Has anyone else noticed the 90amp welder is now being marketed as a 120amp? Did they actually increase the amps? Or just change the label?

 

Someone on another site opined that the different part numbers for what appears to be the same item is probably due to different factories making the items.
