Harbor Freight tools thread.

How did you make the sizes so easy to read?

 

Looks like paint..

 

Hole saws need to say Vermont American or, Nicholson, or Dewalt on them to be worth anything...

 

The Milfuckee ones are okay too, little lube while you work and they last a while going through 3/16 plate

 

Chalk marker.

 

Mine worked for about 10 minutes cutting the boards off pallets. 2nd one lasted about 6 cuts through small nails. I threw it away and didn’t even bother returning it.

 

Just cause the batteries fit doesn’t mean you should use it. The impedance of the battery pack can affect tool performance and could even burn the tool up. I would not advise using any other battery than the ones designed for the tool.

 

Forgot about today's purchase.
Impact worked really well. Time saver for sure, I don't know why I didn't buy it earlier.

 

I have the same set of hole saws. They work fine for wood and fiberglass, alright for metal. For notching my roll cage, I got the Lenox and it worked very well.

 

I'd add Lenox to the list.

 

3/8 torque wrench busted on the 3rd use. The twist grip popped off while I was wrenching and the spring flew out, apparently the threads were not deep enough so it's not worth fixing, and only $10.

 

That is the older EQ125XT model, it is a good tool-- the new model (see below, oddly the same SKU) has no balls--I bought it and brought it back the next day:

 

Really? I didn't know there was a new/old model. This one took off the lug nuts off on the #2 setting. I got my air compressor at 100lb though. I'll be using it a lot for the next 2 months. Hopefully it breaks down before the 90 days.

 

Yes the older model is quite similar to the Husky wrench I've had for a while--the new one has a shorter nose:

 

I almost bought that one.

 

I picked up the big brother to that about a year ago...50 or so post holes later along with a couple sections of sidewalk and it is still going strong.

Your reading comprehension might be a bit off.....unless this was an April Fools joke.

 

I have had this puppy for 5+ years and beat the crap out of it with 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" SDS bits--it keeps on chugging--IIRC it was $43 with a 25% off coupon:

5+ years and

 

Got a whole bunch of zip ties this past weekend, the had a buy one get one free deal....stocked up..LOL

 

I went and bought this one in Black last weekend. It was my first tool box purchase of this magnitude. I had checked out boxes at Lowe’s and Home Depot but in my opinion this box is leaps and bounds ahead of other brands in the same price range.

Since I have never touched a $1000 box maybe they have better features but I see no reason to spend 6x as much as this box cost.

 

^^The folding side table was a nice touch too. Whenever I am working on my truck or wife’s car, I roll it up next to me and put all the nuts/bolts/misc pieces on it for safe keeping. Just don't accidently hit the bottom of it while it's loaded with items. It's not a fun mess to clean up.
