Harbor Freight tools thread.

I prefer Delta's line of variable speed grinders as the motor housings are quite smaller in diameter than most of the other low-cost Asian products. They offer both a 6" model (p/n 23-198 $110 from Amazon) and an 8" (23-197 $130). I have had the 8" unit for over 10 years--it was $89 back then:



More than HF, but worth it...

 

Those trays take up so much room IMO. I found just using regular cheap socket rails saves a ton of room.

 

Went ahead and exchanged the 3 ton steel jack for the low profile 3 ton Aluminum jack. I like that it has handles, and is lighter. Was a $98.00 Dollar difference.

 

What's the deal with Delta? Never seen a tool company with such a broad range of perceived quality.

Some of their stuff is shit and looks like it. Other stuff seems upper end.

 

I'm out the door right now to head to HF.

Got a 25percent off coupon in my email this morning. So many choices.

 

Good choice.

 

Thanks. Us Old dudes need all the we can Get!!

 

You can also find them in most auto, and firearms magazines. But yeah, just sign back up online to recieve emails. Usually the magazines only have the 20% coupons. Emails and mailers get the 25% when offered. You'd be surprised how many folks don't even know about the coupons. When I go, I usually take a few extras and give them to random folks who look lost and are looking through the in-store flyer.

I just go on their website any time I'm there for an instant 20% coupon on my cell phone.

 

You kids and your smart phones.... Taking all the fun out of hunting for coupons.

 

I just exchanged a floor jack and it is one of the items that the coupons don't cover. The fine print on the bottom of the coupon explains what they can't be used for.

 

How often/when do they normally email the coupons?

 

I usually get one email a week. Holidays & events, I'll get up to one every couple days.

 

X2

 

Cool; just curious when I should start getting them, as I didn't get one of those "HEY THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING" emails like every other place that's got my email after I signed up last night.

 

Be care fun what you wish for. My wife gets the emails and has not ordered anything since 2009. She still gets the coupons( which I use).

 

Haha, the coupons are all I want. I used them for a free thing (when I had them) almost every time I was in the neighborhood of one of their stores.

On a different note, does anyone know if they stock LED bulbs for a AA Maglite? I really feel like I saw them there when I was in last week but their website only shows one for the C/D lights.

 

I got the 3 ton Pittsburgh quick pump floor jack for Christmas and love it.

It's strong and works great.
