Harbor Freight tools thread.

I can’t really justify it this week anyway…

Just started a new on Tuesday job after getting laid off mid November, and doing Christmas for the family. Plus saving for maintenance and mods for two tacos.

 

Too many exclusions.

 

Any experience with the Icon flex head ratcheting wrenches? I've been looking at Husky, Gearwrench, and Milwaukee. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of variance between the brands. Small percentage of all three have failures with the flex heads wobbling.

 

As long as it has a lifetime no questions asked warranty your probably okay. I’ve never used a Hazard Fraught ratchet, but it seems like all of their tools are getting a much needed quality update.

 

Andddddd I know where I'm going tomorrow. Now what to buy....

 

Might have to buy the 20 ton press. Rear axle seals and bearings

 

I was thinking the same thing. But nope can’t use the coupon on it.

 

The large print giveth,
And the small print taketh away.

 

LOL! Yeah, at least most of the "Badlands" branded stuff (not jacks) still qualifies.

 

I used the coupon today to pick up another magnetic light mentioned in the last page. Might go back for one of the Apache rifle cases.

 

Honestly surprised that Badlands and a few of their other house brands aren't excluded. Icon and Daytona, specifically.

 

Damn it, I don't need anything else

 

Figured out what to get for now. Felt like this would work very well for now. Used it a bunch already. I like how slim it is and i can slide into tighter spots (thats what she said) and the magnet is super helpful as well.

 

That looks nice. $40 is a bit steep for a HF light but if it works it works.

Since it's rechargable my guess is it uses a cylindrical lithium battery. Typically these are the cheap ones with lower capacity and you can buy ones online with a much higher capacity for longer runtime.

 

Bought their "folding mechanics pad" a couple weekends ago. The packaging said it was Pittsburgh, the writing on the inside is a big 'ol US General logo, and their website doesn't say what it is. How bizarre.

Either way, it saved my ass and my side when I was doing my brakes a couple weekends ago and again this last weekend changing the oil on the bike. Seems to be fairly rugged and stood up to me sliding around on the concrete, and it folds up and velcros together for storage. I'd buy it again.

 

anyone have the HURCULES or BAUER cordless shop vacs? Cant decide which one is a better cordless version.

 

They're having a 30% off sale right now, tranny jack $179.

 

Need a sale to happen for the 20 ton press

 

I like my other Bauer tools, they have more items
