Harbor Freight tools thread.

Did you die all the other times that you used them?

 

have you also been following Overland Under Budget?

 

N=1

 

I always use one or two 3 ton floor jacks along with jack stands as backup and vice versa. Same goes with the Rhino ramps I own. I'd be at peace if I died but damn I'd miss my dog!

 

yea, but those times weren't because of the jack stands.

 

I've got 2 sets of the Big Red torin jacks. They are stout. They'll serve you well.

 

I go me a Daytona jack it go's from 3 inches to 24 inches it is a pleasure to use

 

Will be now

 

Which Predator generator does not suck?
Does anybody have hands on experience on any?

 

I have the 2000 watt inverter. Had it for several years now, works great. It's an earlier version though I would guess as it looks different.

 

SAME.
i also have the 2000w inverter.
i like it.

 

My parents have the 4375 watt generator. Only had to use it for 1 extended time and was quite happy with it. I plan on buying the 6500 watt one for myself when they have a sale. Hopefully it will sit unused for a long period of time.

 

I was looking for coupons, nothing. I also will be buying one once they post a coupon. Undecided on either inverter or not.

 

I got super lucky last summer. We had a bad storm and lightning blew up transformers during the night. Ibwas waiting at HF when the doors opened. There were 3 generators left by the time I got to that section. As I waited in line to pay for the 4350 I found a coupon online.

 

Just got a titanium mig 140 of facebook marketplace for $100. Tested, pretty much brand new. Time to learn how to weld

 

Anyone use these? Need to change the oil in my wife’s maxima. To fat to crawl under.

 

I use ramps to change the oil in our Corolla... Handier than jack stands or wooden blocks.

EDIT: I just noticed a later post that comments on the lack of bracing/reinforcement on those ramps. And I agree. Mine have support making them stouter than those. I would be leary of using them.

 

I use old 1” gym mat stacked 3 high. I’ve had ramps like that buckle under a car before. I WILL NEVER USE THOSE TYPE AGAIN.

 

Don't get ones that don't have any bracing underneath, like those.

 

So after using my boss’s Bauer portaband for a couple weeks and getting some good use out of it, I decided to go pick up one for myself. I have dewalt everything but didn’t wanna spend $300 for a portaband. Bought this one for $130 and then bought the swag Offroad portaband table. Got both for the price of the dewalt portaband. It’s a game changer for cutting small parts and stuff.
