    Hurry,once a year big sale at harbor freight!

    As someone who does inventory for a local hardware store, you might be surprised what people steal. Something as cheap as a sponge or drill bit, auto light bulb, plumbing fittings, etc to more expensive stuff. People also steal merchandise from one location and return it at another location and...

    Experience with Harbor Fright hardwood workbench?

    I have one. Put it together 8 years ago. The top is burned from welding (gotta buy a proper welding table) Its a very solid bench. No complains except for the vise and stupid peg holes on the work surface.

    Pittsburgh vs Pittsburgh Pro tools?

    My regular Pittsburgh (non pro) impact sockets are just fine. I wish they were stamped so I could read them and the numbers would face the same direction when on the socket rail, but they work fine. The packaging also says Made in Taiwan.

    GRINDER SAFETY 101 (graphic injury video so be warned)

    After watching this video over the weekend, I bought a full face shield today for use with my angle grinder. I’ll be doing to tap and ring test with my grinding discs going forward.

    Harbor Freight jack and jack stands?

    I have a 3 ton low profile HF jack and the 1.5 ton aluminum one. I use the 3 ton for oil changes and the aluminum one when I’m working on brakes and jack up each corner. I have Duralast 2 ton stands from autozone. The 3 ton HF ones are pretty tall and I don’t like jacking up my RX-8 and other...

    More Hercules to come

    I think that Hercules products should come with a 1 year warranty standard with the option to get an extended plan. Someone else where made a compelling argument with that Hercules saw that has a 1 year warranty vs DeWalt. You have to pay to send the DeWalt back or transport it to a service...

    US General tool storage shuffle?

    You won't be disappointed. I bought a red 44" cabinet last year (paid $470) and just bought a matching top chest a few weeks ago for $270 with the NO EXCLUSION coupon. Picked it up 2 days ago since it was out of stock. I couldn't be happier.

    HF New Replacement Parts Info

    Glad to see this. They even have rebuild kits for the $129 Spectrum spray guns and the $200 Black Widow guns. The lack of a rebuild kit for these has steered me away from those (bought a Sharpe FX3000 recently instead) If I did buy a gun from HF, I’d probably order a rebuild kit or 2 just to...

    Broke My Jack

    Hi GJ members! I'm new to the forum, and so here's my first post. :) I have a Duralast 80630T 3 ton floor jack. It's made by Torin and it's similar to the jack in Hiball's Overseas Jack Rebuild Help Tutorial. I wanted to change the old dirty fluid it came with and clean the unit up. I removed...
