Harbor Freight tools thread.

@Slashaar
Now's the time.

 

little project with a HF hatchet. Took off clear varnish, sanded, sharpened, painted and burned the handle for a rustic look.

 

Ordered an orange end locker this morning. Tried to order two but they wouldn’t do the 15% off on both. Also bought two of the folding trays for the 4 drawer tech cart and did this-

 

Oh, no! You gave it wings; now it can fly away.

 

sweet -- I've been wanting to pick up one of those carts for awhile, were the side shelves easy to mount up or did you have to do some fab work?

 

The top holes line up but the bottom ones do not. I drilled new holes for the bottom. Had to use longer bolts as well but I think adding the side trays increases the functionality of the cart.

 

I'm just a poor boy, I have no money~. Caught in a landslide of bills, no escape from responsibility....

 

Wait, do they not operate on both 120 and 220 anymore? Or am I remembering wrong?

EDIT: looks like the MIG 170 has dual voltage.

 

I think my

$299 mig140 120V

mig140 would do both, but it stays 110v now since I have the MigMax on 220v.

 

awesome, thanks for the info -- been wanting to get the cart and this makes it much more useful!

 

Adulting kinda sucks sometimes, I feel your pain! But there is always room for new tools, right?

 

Not when you're on ultra-saving mode to cover large expenses, like 12k for siding, soffits, eaves and gutters.

 

I know I'm just playing - I had to fork out the same for some house repairs this summer too

 

Are you doing the work yourself?

 

Come on HF, we need the other colors too!!

 

Nope, A friend of mine had this guy do his Uncle's house which is down the street from me. Looks great. Gave him a ring and that's what he quoted us after looking around and we picked out colors. 10k cheaper than the other quote we got.

 

^^^^^

 

What's the quality on harbor freight tarps? Good enough or pass?

 

The free ones are totally worth the price. Thin, but better than nothing. Just not extra thick, but certainly helpful if you need one cheap.
