Harbor Freight tools thread.

that magnet strip in drawer would probably keep everything in line.

 

That's actually a great idea. I have a few extras I got free with coupons that I could use.

 

unfortunately I can't claim it. I believe someone else in this group mentioned it.

 

Since everyone else is showing their box.

 

You call that 5S??? There's not even lines or tape around any of it lol, j/k.

They get a little carried away with the 5S stuff here at Boeing. They had us put tape around where each of the tool boxes go, tape around the lunch tables in the break area, tape around the outline of the entire plane and at one point even had little labeled boxes at their meeting board designating where each person representing each organization was supposed to stand (i.e. manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, electrical team manager, mechanical team manager...)

 

I'm waiting for our 5S push at work to be done so our EHS guy will give me the scrapped tape rolls.

Used to work for a Boeing supplier, and you folks took it to the next level.

 

Anyone have a coupon for the 20 ton press. I can’t find one

Thanks. Guess I didn’t look hard enough. To hf I go.

 

Alright, I’ll ask.

What’s 5S

 

Fancy work place organization to supposedly improve production

Last winter I bought several pairs of the Hardy Thermal knit cold weather work gloves and they are worth every penny. I don't use them a lot when in the summer heat, but well worth the extra money over the cheaper yellow work gloves that melt easily IMO.

 

What sockets are best at HF. looking to build my drawer out. Was also considering tekton. Anyone have any comparisons between the two? The link below has my interest right now. already have a full set of 3/8 shorts and deeps

Anyone use their electric drill bit sharpener?

 

Works on drill bits that are not titanium or specialty bits like a few I have here for cutting hs steel.

 

Depends on how much you plan on using them. I buy the sockets as destruction units so my snap/craft/Mac/sk stuff lasts longer

 

Im just a do it your selfer on my own trucks and some friends. Definitely not a everyday use type thing. Everything else I have is craftsman so its not like im saving any snap on or mac tool. (Cant afford to build a box with that stuff at this point)

 

You should be ok, just be sure to check the sizing ever so often. The tempering on the sockets seem to be a little weak.
