    If you buy from harbor freight tools and have your receipts....

    A few people who emailed the administrator have been told what their amount would be. It is original claimed figure adjusted up to reflect the 18% and 60% as opposed to the original 12 and 30%.

    If you buy from harbor freight tools and have your receipts....

    4-6 weeks huh? We'll see. That's about 6 months after the "I don't have any receipts but send me money anyway" people got their $160 1500% bonus cards.

    Wha't the Point of Unboxing Videos?

    I've gotten sucked into watching some when I'm researching something I may want to buy thinking I might learn something about the item, never. The guy spends the first few minutes showing all sides of the unopened box and reading everything written on it. Then slowly and methodically slits the...

    Looking for a cordless impact recommendations...

    I've always used a cross lug wrench until one day I realized I don't have to sit here and spin 6 lug nuts off with this wrench, it seemed to take forever so started using a cordless drill to spin them off and on and only broke or tightened with the wrench. One day I grabbed a Craftsman 1/4...

    Making Chord/Hose Totes Waterproof

    Off topic, I realize you want to make your own but. I have been using a couple like these for many years, they hold up pretty well. Also the large cable cuff at the bottom of this link is great for air hose and cords...

    Wha't the Point of Unboxing Videos?

    It would be far more interesting to see the items being put in the box at the factory, especially the really complicated packing with lots of molded styrofoam and intricately folded cardboard pieces.

    Anyone have an HF compressor they like?

    I don't know what the code says about it but if you have a neutral leg at the outlet it can be done. You would never be able to run both at the same time though.

    A Few What is its....

    I had a socket set like that way back in the 60s. It had a stamped steel ratchet, must have been 10 or 15 teeth and the big allen wrench that would go through the ratchet like an extension with the socket on the end. It was terrible but it was the first ratchet I ever owned. It was stolen out of...

    Clear Coat Coming Off

    I've seen so many vehicles with peeling clear coat. I'm not a professional body man but I never understood the reason for the base coat/clear coat process. It's more complicated and twice the work of single stage urethane with the same results IMO and then there is the possibility of adhesion...

    Hammer Drill vs Rotary Hammer: Help Me Choose

    It has as much to do with the bits you use as the drill. You can't use the cheap chrome plated Vermont American bits for anything harder than soft brick or block. Go to HD or Lowes and look at the higher priced bit sets. Some are rated for drilling granite, when I use those I don't even use the...

    Anyone have an HF compressor they like?

    I have both a 3 gal and 8 gal. If you need to go up and down stairs, I would grab a 3 gal. I have done lots of trim work with it and stapled 1/4" underlayment in a few rooms, it is loud though. If you don't need to carry it, the 8 gal is on wheels, is quieter and will run more tools, even light...

    Decent adjustable wrenches?

    I have lots of older adjustables but they are all SAE so I don't have much use for them anymore. I could use some good metric adjustables.

    brake line clamps for mirrioring old line

    It's a very pretty chunk of shiny metal but anyone who sees the picture is going to say "I can make that in ten minutes with a block of wood and a nut and bolt". In fact, I would think you need more than one to do the job so maybe it will take you 15 minutes. Then there are people that have...

    AmazonBasics Hand Tool Kits

    I don't think you even need tools for that, just the hex key they give you with the furniture.

    Penetration oil.

    I've seen several "Best Penetrating Oil" tests on Youtube. They all come up with a different winner. One actually got best results with WD40, another I remember it was Liquid Wrench. They all usually include the ATF/acetone. I dunno, I have been using PB Blaster because I have 2 cans on the...
