Harbor Freight Tool/Product Review

[83K5guy]

Ive had good luck with their ratcheting box wrenches... Cant remember the price but ive gotten my moneys worth from them time and time again

Who's at the door

Couldn't agree more I gave $15 for my set or metric ratchet wrenchs. I use them daily for about tree years and only had my 10mm act up but I use it for breaking **** loose and hit it with a hammer but a little shot of brake cleaner let it sit in diesel over night then oiled it and works like new.
I'd say any of there electric tools are crap. Never had any luck with em. I caught one on fire using a ball hone and the second and third smoked like crazy so I got my money back. Drill batteries don't hold charge long but haven heard bad things about their grinder/wire wheels.

Ok, I have a few more tools to add to the list!

Steering Wheel Removal Set - Item #68982, Current sale price $29.99; Normal price $39.99; Got it for $23.99 with the 20% off coupon

This set comes with BOTH a steering wheel puller and a lock plate compressor. Plus it's all in a handy dandy case. Worth every penny. I used it last week and 2 co-workers have borrowed it since then and not one complaint so far.

Pittsburg 13 Piece 1/2" Drive SAE Deep Wall Impact Socket Set - Item #67903
Sale price $22.49; Normal price $27.99

Pittsburg 13 Piece High Visibility 1/2" Drive METRIC Deep Wall Impact Socket Set - Item #67904
Sale price $22.49; Normal price $27.99

Lifetime Warranty

I have both of these and they are top notch. I actually bought just the metric set to start with just for the 32mm socket. I needed it to install the leveling spacers on the front of my 2012 Dodge. This whole set was cheaper than buying just the one socket from anywhere else. I was so impressed that on my next trip to Harbor Freight, the SAE set was the first thing I grabbed.

I've used them countless times since then with an impact and also with the big ass breaker bar that's on the first page of this thread. Highly recommended. And hey, if one breaks, they have a lifetime warranty.

6 Piece Screwdriver Set - Item #47770
Sale price $0.99; Normal price $4.99

What can I say? They cost me 99 cents. I bought 2 sets and put one in each pickup.

I tested them out and the handles didn't break free so I have no complaints. Just make sure you check them over before you buy as the handles were a little crooked on one of the sets I looked at.

Ive been happy with all the Pittsburgh rachets, sockets, wrenches and other hand tools ive bought from HF. Hell my dad got one of those red US General roll carts and its nicer than some Snap-On Roll carts ive seen. And a third the price too. I wont trust the cheap-o precision tools like dial calipers, mircometers, torque wrenches et. But hand tools are hand tools.

I have the black rollcart that i was using at work and it was great but i went ahead and upgraded to a Snappy eleven drawer rollcab.

 

[Stroked]

Yea, I don't think I would trust the precision tools either. Those are tools I have no problem spending more money on.

Glad to hear some good reviews on the roll carts. I've been thinking about getting one of them.

My wife just picked up a 1/2 inch drive EARTHQUAKE impact gun for me. I have not given it a test run yet but I have read good stuff about it in a automotive magazine.

I know they were damn good back in the day. Hope they still are, but I've seen a few bad reviews on HF about them. Not many though. Sad thing is, some people expect a 1/2 in impact to take off lug nuts from an 18 wheeler and when it doesn't they give it a bad review, when clearly, you need a 3/4 in unit for those big fuggers. Some people are just stupid. Do keep us updated though. I've been ever so close to getting one in 1/2 inch. The Craftsmen one I've been using for years and years has never been all that impressive IMO, and I want something better.

I used an Earthquake for the first few months working at LKQ before i got my new snappy gun. I still use it sometimes when i need a heavy hitting gun and it works great.
