    Kinda what I was gathering.

    I know HF us pushing their parking lot sale coming up, maybe I'll get lucky and they will have them marked down.

    Regardless, I got one if my own trailers to build in the mean time.

    Agreed, this thing is awesome! If I had an gripe it would be that it doesn't fold up or turn 360 degrees.

    I have done it before. But only because I couldn’t find anything I hadn’t previously purchased. :anonymous:

    I've gone through my frame 10 times on my current set and I don't have to buy any again either since they swap the out for free when they lose their bite :D

    Nice bits BTW!

    I tried my hardest to make harbor freight step bits work but I was let down. Tried fast and slow and either way they went dull super quick on get this... 304 Stainless steel, it's a soft metal for crying out loud.

    They sell a three pack, varying diameters. Not sure how else to describe it. They chomp through toyota frames with ease.

    Stainless steel work hardens and has a high toughness (resistance to abrasion, scarring, cutting).

    It is borderline impossible to holesaw stainless.

    It is not as “strong” in terms of max yield as mild steel but it is much more resilient in other areas. You set those bits up to fail!:rofl::rofl:
