Harbor Freight tools thread.

Worst that can happen you have to go back to the store and return it. Don't wanna spend a ton on one, HF is your destination. Don't expect quality and longevity as if you spent a ton.

 

HF is proud if that new plasma cutter. They just amped the price by $150 and no current %10 off anything coupons. Seems like a fair price discrepancy compared to the Chicago electric plasma cutter but NOBODY wants to spend $600 on a Chicago electric tool to start with. Any good reviews yet?

 

Shit fack, that's ridiculous!! Even more expensive than a Lotos. There's plenty of well known brands for even cheaper than that. This guys smoked some good shit to bump the price so high.

 

That's what I'm saying! I will say it looked nicer than the lotus machines when I saw it in the store but lotus literally has thousands of 5/5 star reviews out there (cost considered). Honesly IMO it may be able to pull that price but it needs a couple years of HF user reviews and input first. It's at that awkward price point where I'd rather just buy something nicer, well reviewed and spend more....Or buy a lotus....

 

I have a lotos, no issues. If you want to spend that much look elsewhere.

 

Definitely. Especially considering lotus has their newer 55 amp digital display model for less than the chicago electric PC.

The only thing I can think of is if the titaniuam has a quality soldered and well mounted circuit board and can withstand being thrown in the back of a pickup everyday? Again prove worth first.

Don't even know why im ranting . Sorry lol.

 

I work in a heavy truck garage and one of my co workers has both The 3/8 and 1/2 Bauer impacts.. we have yet to kill one of them.. If I hadn’t already bought a bunch of dewalt tools I would have definitely bought Bauer.

 

Interesting. Gonna have to monitor those impacts.

 

Might have to pick one up

 

. Get as many as you can afford.
These lights rock Ends 12/8/2019.

I have one and will buy a couple more tomorrow.

 

Bought their 1/2” air impact and a 3 gal air compressor on Black Friday.

 

I’ve been using their earthquake xt impact for awhile and have had zero issues.. and there has yet to be something I’ve had to borrow someone’s snap on impact for. I’m curious to get my hands on one of their 3/4 impacts

 

Awesome! That’s the one got, pretty stoked on the buy.

 

Just make sure to oil it regularly. I did however get the extended warranty just Incase tho.

 

$27.99 after coupon code 38468839

 

If anybody has that I’d love to see some pics in use. At that price, I might have to get one.

 

There are several pics and a video review on Harbor Freight's website.

 

Here's a video review.

I've had very good luck with the following:

Heavy duty steel jack 3 Ton
Aluminium Racing Jack 1.5 Ton
21 Gallon air Conpressor
Engine Lift
Chicago Electric Plasma Cutter
Chicago Electric 180 Mig
Color coded sockets
1000 lbs hydraulic table


My favorite thing is a super cheap socket set that they have for about $5. I used to buy 1 or 2 of those every time I went. Every time I have a screw that is stripped from the head or stuck and I can't get it out. I'll hammer a socket in then hit it with the flux core welder. I'll hit it with a cheater bar and the screw comes lose everytime.
