    Yup, I bought it, and it works great! Seems to have a good amount of torque, the only thing that would be nice, is a light to see what you're working on, but the light can be fixed by other means (like using a work light near by, etc.).

    I used the Mother's day coupon yesterday to pick up a Braun 4' LED shop light for $22.50 - holy shit this thing is bright! No more dark corners in the garage where parts can go flying. :bananadance:

    yea got 2 in my garage, surprisingly bright and plug n play , super easy to hang. Wondering about replacement lights, seems it'd be easy to put a broom stick or something else through the bulb with no lens protecting it. Have to take a search online

    They're cheap enough if you do kill it accidentally you just can replace it.

    @Rakso I'll try and get a pic tonight

    @Rakso - it’s so bright it washes out the sensor on my phone. Note how the ceiling above the light is lit up!

    They just sent out a 30% off any item under $10. What's your favorite thing to use that on?

    Should get these, not HF but the results are awesome. And this is only 6 bars, not the full 8 I bought. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNPL2V...olid=2VS5KNSHAOH72&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    Put this together yesterday. I had bought it a while back. It will do the job for some light work. More vibration that I would like. I understand the vibration goes away with a better buffer wheel and truing up the grinder wheel. I just hope it lasts.

    I recently pick up the two unit 5000 lumen sets from Costco. I installed nine of them in my garage. It's so bright in there now :D

    Not Harbor Freight but bought one of these Husky 7,000 lumen work lights yesterday from Home Depot. I replaced an older halogen stand light. One of the halogen bulb sockets had burned out. That light would get so hot. This one can be pointed to the ceiling and used to aide the regular garage lights. I love this one.
