Harbor Freight tools thread.

I posted this in the 2nd Gen thread. But if anyone needs a cheap bed light solution (free), here's my solution. Maybe someone has already posted it, so sorry to repost. The free led light from HF has a magnet and works perfect.

I've went through probably 7 of them already mostly because my baby girls take or break them. But hey, they're free.

 

I have broken a couple sockets from HF, no big deal with how inexpensive they are though. I think they serve well as backup tools to stock in your truck, wouldn't suggest them as your only tools around the house.

 

I'd rather use them at home than on the trail. If it breaks when I'm home, no big deal. Just go replace it. If it's the only 19mm socket I have in my truck and it breaks, I'm SOL.

 

Is that a Star Trek Amok Time reference?

 

Yup...

 

Nice. Yield to the logic.

 

Stupid question.....Do you have to print out the coupon for them to scan it or can they get it from the email sent on the phone? Just got my first email from them and don't want to go without a paper coupon to scan if needed.
Thanks

 

They can scan it from your email on your phone.

 

They can read it from your phone, they don't even use the bar code, just type in the # at the bottom

 

Another satisfied customer. These kayak people are loving these trailer.

 

Color me impressed.

Stopped by the Traverse City HF to grab another (what else?) Trailer kit. Had a coupon for a free magnetic tool holder with purchase, coupon. Grabbed the thing not thinking it would be worth a shit.

Can always garage sale the thing for 50 cents to get back my time spent on the thing.

I was wrong. These are the real deal!

Notice the Allen wrench combo held up by one hex wrench. That thing is quite heavy.

Gonna grab another next trip into town.

 

That's great. Do you have to title them to sell them?

 

HF gives you a title when you buy the trailer kits.

 

Well picked up the 1" predator water pump and hoses for it. Hopefully it will work well as a I have a drainage ditch to try to clear out (few thousand gallons of water).

But on another note saw their deep offset wrenches and was going to get a set in SAE. But all five sets had rust on multiple wrenches. The manager wouldn't discount them at all either. But not good seeing a product on the shelf not even used and rusting

 

predator 212 engine runs well in my sons Go Kart for past year. Goes almost 45 mph

Log splitter from HF has same engine and splits wood well for the 650 I paid for it two years ago

 

how are the bearings on these trailers? are they standard/easy to replace?

 

Has anyone tried this impact? I broke my craftsman and it looks exactly like this one from the picture. For $20 I think I might just get it to break loose lug nuts.

 

yes and yes. Bearings should be cleaned and repacked properly when you assemble the trailer, but once done work fine

 

Could just title it in Maine.

 

We have permanent plates here.

I've sold 4 of these trailers since the 1st of April. Everyone that bought one said they were just gonna use their plate from another trailer.

I've sold other trailer to police officers in the past, even those guys have said the same thing. Blows my mind.
