    Are there currently any coupons for the Harbor Freight 4x8 Trailers?

    I just downloaded the HF Coupon Database App and it seems like it will come in handy. Seems easy to search.

    Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer. How is SD version different than HD version?

    SD = Super Duty and is the term that Harbor Freight uses to describe one of the trailers https://www.harborfreight.com/1720-lb-capacity-48-in-x-96-in-super-duty-folding-trailer-62647.html HD = Heavy Duty and is the term that Harbor Freight uses to describe the other trailer...

    Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer. How is SD version different than HD version?

    I have a couple larger trailers, a 7x8 and a 8.5x12, but would like to have a small compact trailer for small hauling projects. I am also thinking that a 4x8 trailer would make a nice work platform for working on garden tractors, 4 wheelers etc. I have a bunch of garden tractors and MUCH...

    Are there currently any coupons for the Harbor Freight 4x8 Trailers?

    I was inclined toward the SD version, but had not fully made up my mind. THANKS!!! for the coupon! Where did you find it? I know the SD Version has larger tires on 5 lug wheels and uses 2" vs 1 7/8" ball. Does anyone know if the metal frame is the same on both models, or does the SD...

    Are there currently any coupons for the Harbor Freight 4x8 Trailers?

    That is good to know, but probably "depends on the manager" I probably was not dealing with a manager, but I went to register and told them I wanted to buy one, if they would let me use the 20% off coupon. It says it does not apply to trailers, but have seen them apply to other stuff that it...

    I have been looking, but can't find any that are current. If you see any, please post here, even if it is a few/many month from now. I will probably wait for a coupon before buying. Thanks, Joel

    Milwaukee M12 PVC Pipe Shear * Model # 2470-20 ??

    That ad is what prompted me to ask the question when I did. I had thought of the idea before, but when I saw the sale price, I decided to think about it again. I have a gas powered pole saw and it is good for some jobs. I also have a Fiskars manual loper and am impressed at what it will cut...

    Milwaukee M12 PVC Pipe Shear * Model # 2470-20 ??

    Thanks for the reply! Are you aware of a Cordless Lopper for a reasonable amount of money? If so, what/where?

    Milwaukee M12 PVC Pipe Shear * Model # 2470-20 ??

    I am wondering if one of these might work well as a lopper for tree branches. It should be light enough to put on a pole and reach up high. Does it have adequate power to cut 2" tree branches? Does the blade on this Power In AND Power Out? What happens if you try to cut something and it...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    That was fun??? Not really. I had a hip replaced this Spring and thought I was pretty much recovered, but after about 50 trips up/down the ladder, I'm thinking not fully. Photo of the torsion springs show were I wanted the yellow paint to go. Photos of the old torsion bar/tube. I am...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    Some comments have mentioned drilling through to lock the cable drums in place. I think(pls correct me if I'm wrong) if the drums was locked in place, I would need make adjustments by changing the length of the cables and I think that would be hard to do with precision. I guess I could get...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    Ever wonder what happens when a full can of yellow spray paint falls 7 feet and hits a sharp object and spins around at about a thousand RPM?

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    I bought the new shaft, it is getting installed. To install it will not be a LOT more work than shifting the shaft sideways. To shift it, EVERYTHING has to be loosened, so the only additional labor is pulling the old shaft out and putting the new shaft in. That should not take hours, and over...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    Well I went and bought a solid steel bar and will be installing it when the temperature is a bit lower. Even on a normal day, it is usually hot up near the ceiling, and it has been over 90 for the past several days and probably will be 90, or close to it, for several more. 12' of one inch...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    The tube is 1" in diameter and very thick walled, COMPARED TO A BEER CAN. 1" - 0.828" = 0.172" 0.172" / 2 = .086" wall thickness. I think I will be looking for a solid bar.

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    Think of the dent as a bowl with a curved bottom. If you put a cornflake in the bowl, away from the center, it may stay there for a while, but with any type of vibration, it will try to find the low point in a bowl. I think you are visualizing a burr on the surface(and there are burrs), but...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    Well that brings up a "similar thought" that I had. The cable drums(I had been calling them collars, but drums appears to be the correct terminology) are within a foot of the ends of the bars. I had thought about trying to drive a solid metal pin into the ends of the bar to take out the...

    Garage Door Torsion Bar is dented from set screws???

    In the past, I have marked the bar and collar, and when the issue occurred, (obvious that one side of door was lower than the other) the marks were no longer aligned. I am certain that the collar is rotating on the bar. As I said before, I think this door weighs a LOT more than a typical home...
