Harbor Freight tools thread.

Love his channel

 

Does, in incredible ways compared to others who share opinion for free on YouTube.

AvE FTMFW.

 

This guy is pretty interesting and seems to know his shit, but I think he might be a little "off". haha

 

Ha, yeah. He has his own language , pretty funny guy. Granted, half the shit he was talking about I had zero clue about.

 

He's Canadian.

 

Damn Canucks! Speak American!

 

I have had their single stage 2.5 cfm unit for several years, works great--used it just this spring when we installed a new central AC system at my brother's house. It is not any louder than my old Robinair pump that had given up the ghost...

 

not the two stage but I have the single stage one and its been fine. its not loud at all IMO

 

I'm not sure which one I got from them. It was around $60. It worked just fine to pull down my Tacoma a.c. System. It's not loud at all.

 

They have several new lines at HF. Bauer, Earthquake and Hercules just to name a few....None of these brands allow the 20% coupons.

For reference, the 20V 1/2" impact gun they have costs $250. I can find a comparative Dewalt for abou the same, if not cheaper. I have a Ryobi personally that I have owned for 7 or 8 yrs. I paid $90 for the gun I believe. I have gone through a few batteries, but I own a bunch of the Ryobi tools and use them alot.

I just struggle to buy a store brand from HF for the same price as a well known brand.

 

Guess I was talking out of turn. Not really familiar with their new power tool lines. But I agree. If they are close or even in the ballpark of major brands ( pricing wise) then yeah HF wont be getting my money when it comes to those things.

 

I dunno? The warranty program might make it worth it.

 

Dewalt and Ryobi come with 3 year warrantys, The HF warranty included on the Hercules brand is 90 days--you can one or two year extended warrantys, the key word there being "buy". I believe the 2-year plan for the Hercules stuff is $25 or so.

The hammer drill and impact driver would have to be under $50 each for me to even remotely consider buying them...

 

Did you buy it yet?

 

Tempting

 

Not yet. Been at work for seems like forever.

 

I'll go check them out tomorrow. There's a few videos on YouTube already.
