Harbor Freight tools thread.

It's on my list, that and building a brake press with a swag kit.

 

Anyone have a 1" x 30" belt sander? Thoughts or opinions?

 

I don’t have one but I’ll throw out something I’ve read again and again in this thread - the tools can be fine but get good quality abrasives/bits whatever elsewhere then give it a go.

 

My review of the Pittsburg Crowfoot adapters.

It’s a short review.
Throw them in the trash.
Mine broke at the “square” for the 3/8 drive.

Just spend the money on a good set. I like my MAC tools brand.
But it’s just in SAE. Guess I’ll just buy the Craftsman in Metric.

 

New coupons on some HF classics

 

Dang, I could have saved $40 but that was like six weeks ago

 

Really tempting, but I just don't need one right now.

I am heading there to get a corded pole saw though.

 

Once you get one, you will say you should have gotten it sooner.

 

I've been eyeing that porta-band for a while. I'm for sure getting one on this deal

 

Picked up the 3ton for 120 last week.

 

i have this. works well. got it for sharpening my garden tools, mower blades, knives, chisels, etc. Not sure if it would be good for a ton of use. its def good to have in the house for smaller jobs

 

I want the portaband, but really don't need it any time soon....

 

See my post #6856 Harbor Freight tools thread.

And my post #7754 Harbor Freight tools thread.

 

Bought the daytona 3 ton... I've read its a clone of the snap on one but not sure... damn decent jack either way...

 

I bought one yesterday. I gave it a workout on some micarta knife scales last night, figured if it’s gonna break might as well be within the first 90 days!

 

What is the deal with the "My List"? I saved a bunch of stuff from my computer to My List. When I got to the store my phone didn't have anything in My List and I had to try and remember what items I was looking for.

Does the My List not sync with the account?

First time checking out with with only a couple of items and it was huge pain. My ITC number wasn't in their system. I signed up over a week ago. Also the online account I created with email, name, address, etc, wasn't in their system. Nothing rang up right and I had to search for the coupons since they weren't saved in My List. It probably took 5 minutes for the 4 items...

I give it to the employees though. They are very patient and friendly.

Next time I'll be prepared with screenshots of the coupons and make sure my phone list has the items I'm looking for.


I picked up the Braun LED lights. There was another coupon for $15.99.


1/4" driver/socket adapters


and the Central Machinery 4x36 belt and 6" disc sander for $69.99

 

i got that light for my workbench. its great, really bright

 

Find it weird and a PITA that my login account and my ITC account are separate and not linked. If I log into the Inside Track Club I have to use my ITC number, which is 8 or 10 digits., rather than an email or a login ID. Who can remember that? My Ipad or PC won't, so there must be some security thing on the website. I have to store the number in my Notes and copy/paste.

The other issue is when you sign into ITC, there is no List, or other account details. You just see the things that are deals but none of your information. To see your list, profile or anything else you have to sign out of ITC and sign into your regular account.

 

i have the orange version of this that includes a 5inch sanding disc on the side and i can say it very underpowered if you only using it for very light duty it'll work fine but anything else I would not recommend ive been wanting to upgrade since the first few times i used it

 

me to, bought mine about 4 weeks ago. But I love it and totally worth it. Sale price just makes it even better

oh you guys need the portaband. My life is changed for the better because of it lol. Replaces the grinder for a lot safer, quieter, and no-spark cutting while also allowing for more refined shape cutting with ease. one of my new favorite tools
