Harbor Freight tools thread.

I misunderstood the current ‘deal of the day’ ad. ‘In store only while supplies last’. The chance of scoring a Badland Jack under those circumstances would be zero to none because I’m not going to fight a crowd over a garage tool. I’ll have to wait until a more ‘civilized’ sale.

 

But you can still walk out with a pack of nitrile gloves and some zip ties.

 

I actually do want a couple items not related to the current sale. Some wrench organizers and a trailer light kit.

 

Lol wtf. They raised the price on the Badlands 3 Ton from $349 to $379. Glad I got the mislabeled price last weekend

Totally insane lol Jeremiah Burton is a damn legend.

 

Almost $15k to buy every Icon tool and tool boxes

 

They did another one for power tools

That's awesome. Super glad things are going well for Jeremiah and his new gig. That semi truck he bought was rad.

 

should I know him from someplace?

 

Jeremiah Burton was a mainstay host on Donut Media (YouTube) - they do all car related content. They have a pretty large following in the tuner/car scene. Jeremiah and another dood went off and started their own media company Big Time, now producing their own content.

 

Thought it was pretty clearly sponsored by Harbor Freight, haha. But good on them for doing well with the channel, I do enjoy most of their videos

 

Snagged me one of the daily deal this morning. Have a pergola and shed to repaint so this should make that job easier.
Anyone else jumping on the deal or already have one of these sprayers and have tips/tricks or things to look out for with it?

 

Bought one a year+ ago. Painted 20ft of cedar fence and a gate. Looked at similar Wagners and went with the Harbor Freight. It worked well for my smallish job. The process for checking thinness of the paint before using was funky but it worked. Don’t let the paint sit in the cup/gun more than 1/2 hour if I remember correctly. Clean up all parts well. Good luck.

 

assuming you got the big one, it's a fantastic sprayer.

I've used it across a wide variety of fluids in the last 2 or so years.
-exterior flat paint on my shed
-interior semigloss paint for two walls and a ceiling of shiplap in my daughters nursery
-one coat stain followed by one coat sealer on my folks 500 foot dock.
-Cabinet paint on a piano restoration

the 14x16 shed took about 20 minutes to spray the siding. then i hand painted the trim. absolute breeze with the Avanti. enjoy!

 

Nice work! I need to get back down there to CHS soon. My buddy runs Carmellas.

 

Thanks!

You should come down for Overland South in the fall. Camping, off roading, and a ton of other fun stuff at a the woodlands nature reserve, right here in town. Huge weekend with lots of TW guys.

nice, i will check it out, i'm planning some sort of vacation for fall :-D

 

I just sold mine for like $250. got tired of moving the 100 # jack around. made sense when i had my 2500 but this trucks so tiny i'll just stick with my regular 1.5 ton for throw in the truck just in case stuff.

 

For those that 3d print thats just a "penguin case" that someone has stretched in the middle. I've printed several of those.

 

I carry the 1.5 ton jack. That’s all you need for these trucks.
