Harbor Freight tools thread.

If I remember correctly, my 1/2" drive torque wrench is from HF. It's served me well for many years. Use it on the truck all the time.

 

I should never look at this thread just before going to HF.

 

I bought a cheap HF cement mixer to redo the front door to driveway sidewalk at my old house (was less than $150 and would mix 100lbs in 5 mins). Didn’t really care about it as long as I got done with the sidewalk. That was 12 years ago. Ended up doing my sidewalk, my rear patio, the approach apron to my garage, and setting 16 poles over the next two years, and gave it to my brother-in-law when I moved.
He’s used it to do almost as much work since, and then gave it to my nephew who added some parking to his driveway (single lane, about 60 feet long). It finally gave up the ghost, and stripped the teeth out of the sprocket on the back of the drum. I think his wife is going to make a flower pot out of it now.

 

Thanks to HF I have more moving blankets than should be allowed. I don’t even know why.

 

Sorry for the delay. Looks like valvoline.

 

Got another torque wrench today so i could do my rear differential oil. 3/8 $9.99. 20-80ftlbs not the best range but it’ll work for me. Also have the 1/2 same deal. I think that one is 20-150ftlbs

 

I just bought the 3/8 and 1/2. Used the 3/8 in changing my differentials and transfer oil. Worked fine

 

Took advantage of the Easter sales and picked up a General toolbox end cabinet for for a drill press, grinder, notcher work station project. I still need to mount the grinder ect.

Also bought the tiny 1.5 ton floor jack for my wifes Subaru as the ol 3 ton craftsman barely fits under. I'm pretty sure 3 tons is how much the craftsman weighs not how much it can lift

 

What is the sale price on the 20V Earthquake XT 3/8' cordless impact wrench kit? I don't see any coupons for this in the coupon database, only the 1/2" version

 

Not the earthquake, but its the only 3/8 I found

Good price but by the time I add in cost of battery/charger I'd rather just get the Earthquake kit.

 

Make sure to compare the price of the Bauer 20V impact drivers against the prices of Dewalt (at a discount or coupon) and Milwaukee (at a discount or coupon) and even a Lowe’s Kobalt (which I’ve seen for as low as $200). I finally handled the Bauer cordless impact tool last week and it’s housing build quality isn’t as good as one of the above I mentioned. If the Bauer is $260 and isn’t eligible for a coupon, might be worth going with a different brand. Of course, the impact drivers all jumped in price from this time last year so I may now be wrong. Definitely worth checking though.

 

Went to HF at lunch today. Picked up some chocks for the camper. A free magnetic hardware bowl and a chinese for the garage.

 

Yeah their cordless power tools have gotten a lot less appealing. Especially since you can't use the 20% off coupons. Might as well spend a little more and get Dewalt or Milwaukee. Home Depot has an 18V 1/2 inch drill with a case, two batteries, and a charger for $120.

 

What chocks did you get I should probably get some.

 

These. They're nice and heavy!

 

I have a set of these too. They work great but they stink and it doesn't really dissipate over time. I actually leave them sitting outside so they don't stink up the garage

 

I have them. coupon for them attached...

They dont smell for me....maybe your upper lip? lol jk

 

Anybody have their transfer pump?

I don’t need to spend that much money but seems like it has good reviews.

 

Which one? is garbage.
