Harbor Freight tools thread.

I have the black brand of welders from harbor freight. When I ran out of the wire that came with it, I switched to the spool you posted, and it was way better then the included wire.
I have never used Lincoln or name brands.

 

I own a more expensive one I bought for camera gear, If I fall I don’t want that stuff getting broken.

I can say though I paid about 1/2 it’s current MSRP about a year ago. I made sure to get a nice bag before my 2 weeks in Hawaii carrying a canon r6 through 60-70 miles.

 

I’ve been very happy with the ICON line of tools. Aircraft mechanic and figured I’d compare their ratchets to the tool trucks and they’re extremely close in quality with a lifetime guarantee at a fraction of the cost.

 

Yes, not very good wire. I thought something was wrong with my welder then all was fine when I switched to a different brand of wire. I feel like the flux is inconsistent in the wire. Really poor welds intermittently.

 

Wow, I can get that for free at work. I haven't seen this one at the store, I'll look for it next time.

 

Same kind of email, for a Sander I looked up a few weeks ago.

 

Wow, I'll check.

 

Not sure why others have had bad experience with this wire. I prefer to buy the blue demon 0.035 from Amazon, but every time I run out without preparing, I buy this wire from HF and it's always been great to me

 

$101 to my door. I've seen the HF one at the store, it's garbage compared to this one.

 

i thought this thread was here to promote HF tools

 

There was a discussion about HF drill press. Several posts about it. As far as "promote" I'm not sure that's 100% accurate.

 

HF and how snapon is far superior

 

Or to warn against them when necessary.

 

Does this work for any size tank? I have a small 5lb. tank for camping and would like the piece of mind that comes with a gauge.

 

Took advantage of the spring Black Friday sale.
Picked up the miter saw stand. Says fits up to 10”. jokes on them…. My 12” fit.

 

says works for all Type 1 connections, all I can confirm is it fits my 20 lb tank.

 

I've been using that for a year or two now. One thing to keep in mind is that if it's cold out, it may read lower than it actually is, and if it's hot out if may read fuller than reality. It went from yellow to bottomed out on me real quick on hot summer day.

 

pv=nrt or something like that lol

 

I got this little guy over the weekend and am pretty blown away in general. Much tinier than I was expecting, but still a good useable size. If you were eyeing it at all, get it.

 

I had a chance to use the $49.99 Portland Pole saw. I cut up to 5" limbs with it fully extended and it handled it very well. It was very easy to use, just let the weight of the cutting head and the chain do the work. I could practically use it one handed fully extended.

My only downfall seems to be underestimating the flexibility of having a corded pole saw. Now that I've had a chance to use it, I want to take if further from the house and I don't think 1,000 of extension cord would be economical.

Maybe a battery operated one will be in the future.
