Harbor Freight tools thread.

Interesting, I just youtube'd it. I've owned marine, rv and portable gensets and didn't know this was a thing. thanks.

 

I have heard this asked, but don't really know ow what it means.
For now, I drove to my parents and am borrowing their Harbour Freight generator, I think the 4k size. I'll look into what flashing is, but I'm not very good with electronics so we shall see.

 

I have no generator and had not heard that term before, but I was curious so I looked it up;

 

I'll look into this more now since I have a loaner generator.

This reminds me I haven’t exercised my generator in quite a while.

 

You're paying for the motor. The chinese HF engines are OK, but they are not Hondas. Which is why a Honda generator costs 3x more.....

Edit: Honda is 5.5x more.

Well, I need to pull my Chicago Electric flux core welder apart. Was finishing the last (thankfully) weld on my log splitter trailer and it stopped feeding. If I release the tension roller, it will spin the feed motor. However, once there is tension, it will feed for about a second then stop.
So, I am hoping it is just a loose connector and the motor shifts just enough when put under tension.

 

Does it need a new liner in the whip? Tip good? Just checking.

 

Liner is good, tip is brand new. Swapped the tip right after it stopped. Wire is not binding, I can freely move it by hand. The motor itself is not turning on.
Because it works for about a second after tension is released and re-applied makes me think it might be a connector.

 

Trying to help troubleshoot. Possibly a connection in the trigger? Hope it's an easy fix.

 

Purchased the Bauer 1600 heat gun. Needed it for some heat shrink/solder wire connections for my auxbeam switch panel and ditch lights. Works good and gets very hot. On sale for $5 off right now.

 

Does anyone have experience with this sprayer for staining? I’m rebuilding about 10’ of cedar fence and a gate. Thanks

 

I have it. Used it to stain my moms 6' privacy fence a few times. Works well, but really needs a bigger holding tank as I was draining it so fast.

Cleaning it when your done is super important so all the little passes don't clog up.

 

My store hasn’t gotten the 1/4” gold ratchets in yet, whomp whomp.

Did walk out with a 30” service cart though. Coupon had them down to $99 and I added on a 4 drawer tech cart side shelf thing. Only two of the four holes line up for it, but seems sturdy enough.

 

Just bought mine 2 days ago!

Put it together and haven't touched it since; was wondering if I should've bought that side table or just make one.

 

I mean, I know you’re looking to cut more things haha but can you get materials and hinges for under the $25 the table costs?

Edit: only thing I’d add is maybe some magnets or rubber to keep it from rattling while it’s folded and being moved around.

 

The April Fool's shit is hilarious.

All my metal is left over from "orders" (paid for) so really I'd just need hinges.

 

Just got home with the 6500w generator. $640, and then 15% off all predator stuff this weekend for Inside Track Members.

 

I ran out of room so I added another set of the 14" Drawers today.

 

I had to do it
