Harbor Freight tools thread.

Thanks. I figure I may as well try for $10

 

Used one for chipping tons of stucco around window frames in construction great tool for the money for what I needed it for, never used for anything auto related though.

 

Ive got it. its not to bad. not as good as more expensive ones but gets the job done well enough. Youll want different tips for it (pointed, flat, ect)

 

I’m pretty much buying it for a one time use, so hopefully the head it comes with works for me! If not, not a huge deal.

 

I think with my tax return I'm gonna get the omnipro 220

 

I got the migmax215. I already went through the free 2# spool. Bought .035 by accident now I gotta go back and get new tips. Whatever....

 

Haha. Yeah. I have a Lincoln stick welder. I'm not bad with it as long as I'm welding flat. I do like 6013 rods. Metal prep will kick my ass. Haha. I was looking at maybe getting the 215. But figure why not. I'll never tig anything but o well. Did you have to get a bottle of gas? I assume so. Trying to figure out where and what size to get.

 

I picked up a set of their hollow punches the other day to use on leather. They need some sharpening out of the package and they dull quickly using a piece of pine under them. I got a free magnetic tool holder bar thing but I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

 

I love those magnetic holders. I put one on each side of my fishing boat. They hold spare hooks and other things great.

 

Yeah I got the bottle from cyberweld.com. I think is a 40cuft one

 

I have two of those magnets in the kitchen holding knives and large utensils. I added a small piece of thin weatherstripping foam to the surface to keep my knives from getting their edges knicked.

 

Love this idea, had one sitting in the garage for a couple years, now I know where its going.

 

I'm really happy with my high output 588 Lumen Tactical Flashlight and wish I bought this sooner. It's nice to have a reliable light that has a powerful brightness and is worth every penny over the freebies.

 

yes but mine didn't come with stickers. it'e heavier than my old one but it actually works for tig. i'm smitten with it.

 

I haven’t had any issues with any of their air tools, except one 3” angle grinder.

Several other 3” angle grinders worked great and still continue to do so.

 

i had the chicago electric rotary tool. it was stolen and i've never been more relieved to lose a tool. bogged down easily even on the highest settings. i have the chicago electric oscillating tool now and it does okay. it also has a noticeably weak motor, but it seems to work fine for sanding or small jobs. Friend has chicago electric impact with a cord and it's less than impressive. it'll get the job done eventually. but who knows how many times. Last one i have to mention is the heat gun. doesn't feel very robust but it worked pretty well for drying spray paint.

 

That's a great idea, now I just need another motor for my john boat.

 

Comone HF! start selling bloat motors.

Extended warranty? Yes please!

 

All the freebies are great. I keep one of their machetes handy, only a buck and has lasted forever. Their nitrile gloves are good and cheap too.

 

The HF grease gun isn't bad either. Well built and has lasted a while. I have the furnitue dolly and another upright dolly and they work great.
