Harbor Freight tools thread.

The 3500 inverter one is super quiet. I have the 9000watt and it is noisier but can power an entire house, and starts in like 2 seconds

 

Not sure if this has been posted here, but will post anyway since it's worth a re-post. There's a Harbor Freight coupon database with all the current and expired HF coupons. You can do a search, too, to see if the item you're looking for has a coupon for it. Pretty slick:

There's one for $70 off the OmniPro welder I was considering, too.

 

Only 473 times but always nice to call it out.

 

You have to be careful using this site. Some branches are touchy and won't let you use coupons from this site. It's odd, because it is an exact coupon from HF, just not from their flyer. I actually think it's a power trip or something for the clerk's to refuse coupons from this site. I have called them out when not busy and ask for a manager. The managers always green light the sale.

Just my observation.

 

With that said, I'm waiting for the Predator 22 hp vertacle shaft engine to go on sale.

Why is the vertacle shaft engine more than the horizontal same hp?

 

Oil less compressors are usually really loud. I just use mine for inflation and blowing off things, and its 15 years old, but I'm hoping it breaks soon so I can get a piston type . I hate it every time it kicks on.

 

what is the best hand truck/ dolly? i dont need the convertible one or ones with the track on back to go up and down stairs. Need it really for my 24gun safe roughly 350lbs. Ive read reviews on the wheels flattening on the ones with 600lb capacity. Any opinions on what you guys have?

 

My old one can wake the dead... I feel bad if I forget to turn it off because my garage has a granny unit on top that I rent to a friend. Don't want to give her a heart attack

 

Don’t buy the cheap one. Used it to move a fridge and it bent the wheels in

 

If it’s a one time use, I’d just rent something from u-haul or another moving company.

 

hmmm good call. thanks

 

Appliance dolly. They have a strap and most have the track on the back. Solid wheels.

 

My local mom & pop hardware store has an appliance hand truck that they let customers borrow for free.

 

Shopping from home is no fun. I like wandering around the store scanning codes for discounts lol. But I need some stuff so I shopped online. Didn't need the table but for $55 might as well.

 

yea no need for the straps or track but looks solid. thanks for the recommendation.

 

Bought the 24x36" Service cart to make a cart / shipping station for my 3D printing business

 

New toolbox I traded for. Gave a buddy of mine a yard I maintain a few miles from his house for it. Win for me.

 

I just picked up the Banks 40 degree framing nailer. Seems really solid so far. Using it to build a shed.

 

I just got the 20 ton pneumatic bottle jack. It is awesome. No more dragging my low profile jack around the driveway and my pancake compressor can lift the front end of the truck in a few seconds. Plus with my small lift I used to require a 4x4, not anymore.
