Harbor Freight tools thread.

Yes it came highly recommend

 

129.00 I think, I believe Harbor Freight was sued over this as it's just like a snap on version correct @LivinLoud

 

I like it. So far so good. No issues. The blade has done just a few cuts so I can't tell how shitty it is yet.

 

There's plenty, although you want it to be leveled and straight. I tried making one but never got to actually mount it on the table I fabricated. I got mine on cyber Monday for like 20% off shipped.

 

There are certainly badass tools u can't find at HF. I purchase tools that I plan on having stolen or not stolen due to being a cheap tool. When it comes to precision tools I would no longer waste money. Flange making tool and chain break tool I will no longer buy cheap.

 

I second SWAG....and the owner Troy is a super nice dude to boot! I have several of his products in my garage or on my Jeep.

 

Somehow I missed the first reply. Thanks for the link. This may be my next investment as I think it will work well for my needs. Then I will need to find a serious kick-ass belt sander!

 

Yes, the table. Lots and lots of videos and how-to’s on making one. Or pay about $150 shipped from SWAG.

 

I wouldnt need instructions to make one myself. I would, however, need a band saw..... Quite a connundrum.

 

I’m in the same boat. I’ll be buying a bandsaw within a week, though.

 

Yes the Daytona line was involved in the law suit

 

This thing is stout

 

I absolutely love mine

 

Picked up this new brad nailer at HF today. $23 with the coupon. Hard to beat that. Lots of projects coming up at the house, this will help!

 

The 3 ton Pittsburgh version is also a good floor jack, and only about $80 or $90 depending on sales. I've been using it for a couple years without issue and know a lot of other people that use it, too.

My only complaint is that, like most 3 ton floor jacks, it gets pretty maxed out by the time it gets our lifted trucks off the ground. If you have long travel and/or 35" tires then you might need to get a jack with a longer reach or one that has extensions for it. Some people use blocks of wood as extensions but I haven't had to try that yet.

 

Picked mine up today



Kinda cool: the body is now painted in a graphite/MGM color instead of generic silver.

Kinda not cool: they no longer include a blade with the saw.

 

The blades are shit. Get 3 pack of Lennox blades. Much higher quality.

 

I was planning on that any way. But I wanted to play with my new toy right away. Haha!

 

Got my harbor freight titanium 140 today. Got it set up and laid a few flux core beads since I don’t have any gas. All I’ve been using is a shitty Amazon flux welder before, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Build quality of the welder is awesome. Metal everything, digital gauges, nice knob feel (hehe) quality ground wire and mig gun, etc.

Burns very smooth with minimal spatter. I can’t wait to weld more shit with it! With coupon was $380 and paid $60 for a 2 year extended warranty.




Bottom weld is first one, middle second, top third.

 

Randy, is that a dick or are you just happy to see me?
