Harbor Freight Gods smiled on me today

[sammerdog]

Needed to re-load on some basic work gloves today. Printed off my 99 cent coupon and headed down. Grabbed a few pair and thought as long as I was in there "....fall time's coming up, let's see if they have their cheap bow saws on sale...."

Guys - 73 cents! Yup, you read it right - 73 cents each. Grabbed three of the six they had (I'll wrap up the other two and throw 'em under the Christmas tree for whoever....)

 

[SocketDeviler]

That's just crazy cheap. Actually, it boggles the mind. Well, as long as the blade does not snap off and lacerate you I'd say you did pretty good.

Mental note to self: Do not get involved in a secret santa gift exchange with Sammerdog, he gives cheap gifts...

That's cheaper than garage sale prices!

Sammer,

I didn't see the country of origin on the box? Would you mind taking a close-up of it?

Have to be careful about that Central Forge brand, I hear they offshore production.

 

[nate379]

So when they offshore made in China stuff does that mean it's made in the US?

Could be made in dirka dirka stan for all I care... as long as it works good.

 

[lametec]

You didn't combine that with a 20% off coupon? Would have made it 54 cents!

 

[brockstar]

Forgot to add - nice background!

Talk about cheap, he didn't even buy all six. That's less than the cost of a blade. ;>)

Sammerdog,
I didn't know you had a Jeep. Is it yours or one of the kids? I like the color.

Maybe you could give one of those saws to son-in-law for Christmas.

That's o.k. .... I'll give them back to him the next Christmas

Sammerdog,
I didn't know you had a Jeep....

I've mentioned it many, many a times, MajorRam.

They say memory loss is one of the first indicators of prostate problems in men over 40.

I highly recommend a digital examination.



full disclosure: this is said tongue-in-cheek, MajorRam let it slip elsewhere that he's over 40 and has yet to allow his doctor to stick a finger in Major's touch-hole.

"Central Forge" sounds a lot like "Valley Forge". Since Valley Forge is where George Washington fought the VietCong in upstate West Carolina during the Civil War, it must be domestic.....

....here, I took a close up for you (small writing as evidenced by the size of the ordinary house fly that happened to land there....):

full disclosure for our Scotish friend Kiall: West Carolina was not admitted to the Union until half time of the Civil War

 

[Major Ramifications]

Excuse me for not hanging out on here all day and reading every one of your posts, I now know that you have a cool Jeep. I will not forget.
I do not intend to ever have anybody stick anything up my ***, and I might put some words to that effect on my tombstone.
"Here lies Major Ramifications, nobody ever stuck anything up his ***, (unlike Sammerdog, who actually pays people to do that sort of thing)."

Hmm, I call BS on the country of origin..

Nice fly! I take it you went to the novelty store for more plastic poop..

Wow - lotsa inside jokes in this thread...

I always thought it was funny Harbor Freight chose the name Pittsburgh for their tool line.

Somehow Pittsburgh and China don't go together in my mind!

There is a China town in Pittsburgh. The tool is made in China town in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, USA.
