Harbor Freight tools thread.

I am fortunate, there's a bar with $1.25 10 oz. drafts just 1/4 mile away--so there is something useful to do between "visits"...

 

Anybody get 1 of these?

 

I bought one last summer. I haven’t used it yet though.

 

I thought those looked interesting too. Too bad I don't own a garage yet.

 

Picked one up today

 

That is nice looking tool, I have one of their older portable band saws--single speed--that I wish would break so I could justify a new one...

 

the $8 heat gun is pretty handy in the kitchen for searing stuff

I used their heavy duty rivet puller yesterday and it worked like a champ. Well worth it.

 

I'm curious to hear how you like it. There are a bunch of times I would love to have a portaband but can't justify the cost of a name brand one.

 

OMG

 

Not sure if you’re scared or inspired.

 

Your supposed to remove the blade first

 

They actually make sex toys specifically for reciprocating tools, no improv with a blade required. Yeah, one of the guys I used to work with was a complete freak with a "dungeon" set-up in his house. He'd have parties and show the stuff off; it's both surprising and a bit un-nerving how many chicks are apparently into that sort of thing.

 

Got this Yet to put it together, but its heavy as hell. Going to do quadruple duty for ATV, bike, ATC, and ZTR. Hopefully...

Also this to pump water out of garden cart for trees. Worked great. Have their trash pump too and its worked good in past. And this, but it was missing the handle. Went back, waiting on more stock. I know, i have a problem, lol...
Wife hates this store...

 

I always have and always will think Harbor Freight is the best source for a DIY person. For those of us who don't use this stuff for employment and therefore don't need commercial grade, its great. Half my stuff is HF including my torque wrenches and miter saw, which haven't failed me for years. I've broken Craftsman wrenches, but the Pittsburgh ones from HF are going strong.

I went this weekend and got:

-a heat gun
-29 piece titanium drill bit set
-Parts organizer
-Magnetic parts tray

Total was $22...I didn't even need a heat gun but figured at $8 its worth it to have, even if it breaks lol

 

oh and this, lol For $80 something

Does fine for what it cost.

 

That my feeling. But, I have seen HF brands in some pros toolboxes.

I think I broke something from HF once. I was so insignificant that I can't remember what it was.

 

If you only knew how much fun it is to play with toys

I remember that when it made the news. didn't remove the blade's teeth but now you can get vac u lock adapters or epoxy a 10 mm hex socket and use an adapter like this one https://images.homedepot-static.com...protool-drill-attachments-rct-a10-64_1000.jpg to quickly change out other attachments

 

That heat gun will change your roast chicken game (also pretty good for workin kydex holsters)
