Harbor Freight tools thread.

The problem is I have already bought into the HF models. I wanted to link 3-4 of them together to form a long workbench.
The Husky is taller. Plus the HF version is better made.

 

Nope, provided screws were only like 1/4" long. Sure I've got 1", 1 1/4", and 2" screws in the tool box but why over engineer it?

 

I have a dual gang box up there too. Just did this to keep my lights on the switch. I've got an extension cord I use for things now, but a reel would be something I get later.

 

Just got the email that they’re $199. Still not $169, but on sale at least.

 

$199 is normal price out my way.

Unless they had a price increase.

 

Saw it in the add and thought it was on sale. Haha. Didn’t even check regular price.

I’ll keep lookin.

 

Got an email about the tool boxes being on sale this weekend, the series 2 44" box is 450$ but I'll hold out until it's 400$. Need to buy some other furniture this weekend anyways.

 

Just used their compressions tester to check an outboard motor on a boat I bought. Was simple and easy to use, and less than $20.

 

Anybody have any experience with the 5 gallon Jerry gas can?

 

Junk. There’s a shipping company out east that sells quality ones for the same price.

79.99 is not the same as 39.99 , it's like 2 for the price of one in my calculator .

 

$40 vs $80

 

Pretty sure the one I got was a wavian from Amazon, but I could be wrong. It's been inside my truck box since I got it. Need to pull it out and put it in the garage till I have a mount for it.

 

Oh shit! I bought 2 not long ago and they were 2 for $79.99 with free shipping. I didn’t even look at the price when I posted that.
Having said that, the cheap Chinese ones have paint on the inside that degrades from the fuel in them and it becomes sheets of paint mixed in the fuel. NOT good.

 

The 79.99 ones look like a lot better quality to me .

 

They are a quality unit. I also really like Scepter cans, the real military ones, but you have to get them from Canada or know somebody who personally will bring them into the states. Sometimes you can find them on eBay but they’re usually ~$100 each.

 

I run the wavian brand 5 gallon tanks. Been on my truck for about 8 months, went through the salty winter with minimal rust. Only rust is near the rock chips or rub points but otherwise it's solid. The spout it comes with is that stupid 'satey anti spill' crap... Swap it out with the wavian long nosed bendable spout and you'll love it.

 

Took the day off work and had some fun at HF. Almost got the Titanuim MiG 140 but held off.

I used a $10 coupon on my phone for the impact driver that said something like “original coupon must be presented” but to my pleasant surprise they accepted it without a word!

 

Shoulda bought the welder

 

Is yours the 140? Or the 170?
