    Quick Release pins for concrete anchors?

    So I have a vise on a stand and a crowded garage. I'd like to drop some anchors in the middle of the floor that I can hook the vise stand to it when I want to use it. Is there a quick release style pin or something that I can use with a concrete anchor, that when removed, there is nothing...

    The Sordid Past of Harbor Freight Tools (this is NOT an HF bash thread!!!)

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Allan is a dirtbag. Eric followed in his father's footsteps. Only Eric was much smarter and much more successful. I don't think HF is financially sound, mainly because Eric has "pillaged," borrowing billions against the company to put half of it in...

    Harbor Freight 44" Toolbox Caster Failure and Repair

    :headscrat lets see here... 4% times 100,000 boxes equals 400,000% times $400 = it would have cost HF $160,000,000 :eyecrazy: :lol: For real, though, if they can save $1,000,000 year (saying 100,000 boxes per year) by putting cheaper casters on a box, that 95%+ of the customers never move...

    US PRO Toolboxes Likely To Be Replace With New Designs

    My uneducated guess would be that the blue 44x22" box won't be until sometime this summer.

    HF 18" Side Cabinet No More??

    They are refreshing their entire toolbox line. All the boxes are supposed to be available in all 3 colors eventually. They also, at one point for a very short time, had stainless steel boxes posted. (for hours) Also, there is tons of new Yukon stuff in design/production. It looks like they...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    A Daytona branded steel 4 ton is somewhere in the supply chain. I suspect it's probably mostly just a rebrand of the Pitsburg, but you may want to wait and see what it looks like. If it's a rebrand, they will probably closeout the Pitsburg model.

    Harbour Freight Inside Track Club

    Almost everything on the ITC coupons is not a better price than normal coupons, or it's worthless junk that they seem like they want to move.

    HF Trailers no more??

    You have 60 days to file a complaint with NHTSA if you feel that replacing the tire isn't enough.

    Considering HF box at 1099, see this Craftsman

    Griplatch is a millions times better than any type of drawer latch/detent system... but I don't know that I'd go with the craftsman over the harbor freight.

    New Garage foundation too low - HELP!

    So even if the verbal authorization is valid, the product delivered is not what was authorized. There then comes the issue of authorization. The buyer likely did not contract or enter in any sort of agreement with the sub-contractor. A 3rd party cannot alter a contract. The General...

    Security camera install. Looking for a do it myself

    I have hikvision cameras to a NVR. Running POE 3-5mp cameras makes the most sense. Cheap cameras aren't going to give you enough detail to do anything. Just about any camera you buy is going to need at least power ran to it, so you are going to have to run wires no matter what. You might as...

    Holy **** harbor freight....

    Like $70-$80, they have a $10 off coupon too. I'd like to see a teardown comparison of Bauer vs Hercules.

    Holy **** harbor freight....

    So I picked up the Earthquake Ratchet. It's basically a Makita battery. The Earthquake battery works in the Makita tools, but the Makita does not work in the earthquake. The plastic clips are slightly different so I'm not sure if the Makita battery is contacting inside the Ratchet. The...

    Harbor Freight "Hercules" battery tear down.

    I wonder if those Samsung cells were made in the same factory as the exploding Galaxy Note's batteries. :lol_hitti
