There is much discussion on the best way to hang a heavy object onto a cinder block wall. Many people have mixed results with wall anchors, tapcon screws, toggle bolts and other options hanging on display at Home Depot or other HW stores. I need to hang a heavy hose reel mechanism onto a...

I have always purchased either Dewalt or Milwaukee power tools. Even have some old Milwaukee tools that were formally made in the USA and are still running as strong as ever. But the Ridgid Octane line is really interesting. I like the build quality as well as he tech features (mobile app and...

Love the Vacuum system..Nice Job!

Word of advice from a recent member....All Harbor Freight tool...discussions....opinions and statements are a serious matter here ..So with that WELCOME!

I found this company that basically retro-fits a Suncast enclosure. What they do is add some exhaust features that may be something to consider. A bit pricey...but looks like it can work for a portable gen up to 7,500. http://www.nooutage.com/powershelterkitii.htm

I would like to add 1 important point to this comment....Most if not all Computer Data Centers, Large Radio & TV Stations all have backup generators..but also have Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Systems. UPS systems are really an array of batteries governed by monitoring circuitry that always...

Bought this little beauty about 40 years ago. All of the pieces are still in tact and the ratchet works perfectly. Paid $18.88 for this 21-piece set. Expensive back then and also by today's prices (Cheap stuff was made in Japan then...who knew). Made in the USA!!

Everyone I see in the NY-NJ-PA area is performing the same research right now. My advice on this subject is to go a bit higher then lower on the power load rating. Also note that items that have a startup cycle general will need double the amount of rated loaded. A Refrig manuafacturer may...

I spoke with a tech support person over at Generact and they stated that if you convert from say gasoline to Propane, you would void the warranty and the unit may not operate to spec. The portable units generally are not built to run NG, at least I can't find one. Some of the bigger whole...

A couple of my neighbors have the XG units outside their garage. The problem I have is with these portables is you can't use them in wet weather..I think. The whole house units have enclosures. Also, since I am relatively close to my neighbors, I would like something that has some sound...

That' s good. I have two forced air gas burner units as well as 2 Central A/C units that I could run 1 at a time in an emergency or power loss situation, but do need alot of power to fire the AC up in the summer. Each AC unit is 2 phase and protected by two 30 amp fuses. The air handler fan...

Sorry men, I just joined today...So I missed all 5 rules...My Bad :dunno:

I am sure there is..As tools and the manufacturing companies that make them are a personal thing. With more and more of the things we use being made in China...the quality is just falling off the cliff. But as I mentioned before...I still plan on going into their store from time to time and...

Yeap...Why do you ask?

First, I would like to say that I really enjoy looking around these new Harbor Freight stores that are popping up all over NJ. Generally, I find that if I need a tool for a one time use project, they work fine. Inevitably though, their tools are not very well made or very accurate. Recently...
