Harbor Freight tools thread.

I have the cheap one; 70 bucks or so. It isn't very powerful, but it does the stuff I use it for.

Having never used one before, I thought I'd give it a try. If I was to do it over, I'd buy a more powerful one.


Edit: holy crap, they're $100 now. Definitely not worth that.

 

I had yhe green brand they sell awhile ago. It worked decent, but started leaking from the connections to fast imo.
I nearly bought a Bauer branded one last year. Looked real good for the money, but ended up with a different brand.

 

Also in the market for one. A googling of “best budget power washer” turned up with the Westinghouse brand being rated very well from multiple sites. Better than name brands that we're all familiar with. Might just give them a try, HD sells them.

 

I’ve got this one and have been pleased with it

This was prob talked about a lot here. Recommended?

 

I have a cheapo Sun Joe that looks almost exactly like that one. Isn't the highest pressure out there but I'm not worried about damaging or gouging anything with it if I get too close. Only thing to watch out for is that some of the connectors and collars are plastic, so you have to be careful when tightening and loosening. That and drain it and run it dry before you put it away and it'll be fine for around the home use.

 

You might be able to find a used set of monster wrenches, really nice wrenches but I think they cost almost as much as the icon ones.

 

not sure if you're talking about the elctric one, but if you are then yes these power washers are great!

i got mine for $125 about 2 years ago and havnt had any problems with it.

i bought it when i saw it had wheels. it was the first one i seen on wheels like this. i had used the sun joe one thats popular, but it kept falling over and with this one you dont have that problem. even if you're out in the yard it still rolls around easily

Went to the local HF yesterday and pulled the trigger on a new toolbox setup.

Talked to the manager as we scoured the store looking for all 4 boxes and explained I realized I missed the sale on boxes over the weekend, but asked if I could get a package discount. She ended up taking $100 of the bottom box and discounting the top box.

I was very pleased!

 

I have the $99 electric one from Ryobi. Has done a really good job for me. I was on a well so my water pressure was maybe 40lbs.

 

They had the locker in stock?

 

wow i didnt even read your prevous post lol sorry for the question again people

 

Yes sir. I called a few places around because it was looking like yellow was the only one available (didn't really want a yellow toolbox, but was going to get it if that was my only option) and multiple stores said they had them. Most said they had red, but this one had blue.

 

i like the wheels on this one. It falling over would really annoy me lol

 

I was about to ask the same thing, I have been waiting for those to come back in stock for years!

 

i am so waiting for an orange one to become available. My wife looked at me like I was an idiot when I was geeking out about the 3 end cabinets I have now, lol.

 

Manager was explaining that they are now actually able to take "pre-sales" for them and they are running 6-8 weeks for delivery on those. But it is up to the stores discretion if they want to do the pre-sale.

 

Should have specified, I’m looking for gas powered.

 

I need a red one to match my 44" US General box, but I am in a bit of a pickle, as I bought a used end locker from CL, but it is much older, and not as deep as the new ones. But I bought it for $50, so the depth never bothered me!

Thank you for the info, next time I go to a store, I will have to ask if they can order it.

 

it comes in handy when you're pressure washing a house or driveway. just drag the little fella around with no worries. only thing thats a limiting factor is the cord and the water hose, but honestly the chord is pretty long
