Harbor Freight tools thread.

On that note, anyone order something off of HF’s website and get it shipped? Next order of those jacks come in next Thursday, think if I order it will get here faster?

 

Im sure it varies by areas. No way they would do that here since its against county rules for them to accept that much at once. The dump has 55 gallon drums and you are supposed to only dump a max of 5 gallons there. The haz waste (which is right next to the dump) takes anything but theres a point where you have to make an appointment for it so they can be ready.

Ive ordered before and it usually takes a week. But probably depends where they ship it from and stuff

 

This thing?

I didn't know they offered this version. From the looks of it, perhaps this model has only recently become available. The yellow Daytona had been out for a little while now and it's absolutely beastly.

 

What's the go-to sub 100$ jack here? I made the mistake of buying a jack kit from AAP that requires a 4x4 to get my tires off the ground

 

My vote is for the $89 Arcan jack at Costco, but folks here like the various Daytona models as of late and of course the usual 3ton silver steel behemoth.

 

Yeah, I think it’s pretty new. Literally the only one they were out of, had tons of yellow Daytona’s, and they’re not the same at all, this one is lower profile then the yellow and of course 35in long. Another huge advantage this one has over all the others is it’s got a foot pump built in, it just uses the main arm as a fulcrum and pumps easily using your foot. Takes 5 or 6 pumps to full height, almost 2 feet. I couldn’t wait for them to get a shipment in till next Thursday so I just ordered it online... it was more expensive though
Not very fair for me to pay more for an item there out of in store and the first one I got was broken...

 

Does anyone know what this is? The elderly lady I bought my truck off of gave it to me. We both have no idea. The head swivels around also.
The only tool thread I know if. Don’t think it’s A HF tool lol

 

Hitch ball remover? ... dunno first thing that came to mind

 

ditto, would make sense being you need either a nice 3/4in impact or something with lots of leverage to properly tighten or take off a ball.

 

I jinxed myself. Mine burned up yesterday after about 3 years. Looks like I'm spending another 15 bucks next HF vist

Maybe I'll splurge and get the
$21 version

 

I have one. Works perfect after years of use. KNOCK ON WOOD. Just the cord is garden hose on it. I have to hang it from the cord to kee it straight

 

Anyone have the 3500w Predator Generator? Im looking to buy one to run my trailers AC unit

 

I’m planning to buy the inverter someday.

 

What do we think of that Low Profile Long Reach Daytona jack?

 

Cleaning guns?

 

I've been taught to heat the barrel and other high friction areas with a heat gun before lubing with paste. Might be a waste of time but supposedly it helps open the pores of the metal for better lubrication retention.

 

ROTFL!! I cannot wait to share this story at work...!!!

I was thinking of getting this to add the Redline hood struts. Looks like they held up.

 

Wait $15??!! $9 on sale, buy a few

 

Would definitely recommend! It works awesome
