    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    I have some coupons in a Hot Rod magazine I'd like to use but I don't want to cut up the magazine. Can I just take it to the store with me? Or will they still make me cut it up? I'm hoping they can just scan the coupons and leave the magazine intact.

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    Yeah, wasn't it just amazing that the camera just happened to be pointed in the right direction to catch it and have it perfectly in frame? I hate to say it but now even my 7 year old son yells at the tv telling them how stupid they are.

    Grizzly blast cabinet

    I have a TP ad in a current magazine offering their 960 pro for $1199 with free shipping. Theirs is about 4" deeper than this one.

    Grizzly blast cabinet

    A co-worker was at the Grizzly store last weekend and brought me back a catalog. I found this blast cabinet in there; http://www.grizzly.com/products/24-inch-x-48-inch-Blast-Cabinet/G0708 It looks like a really good price and I live within easy driving distance of their store. So I wouldn't...

    perforated metal sheet

    I'm looking for some perforated metal sheet. I have seen some links on here to companies who sell small quantities of metals. I did find onlinemetals.com but I was thinking there were some other places as well. I thought I had saved the links but apparently not. Onlinemetals didn't have exactly...

    Lift for a tractor?

    I take it the tractor doesn't have a loader on it? Most tractor repair shops either have a fork lift, chain hoist, an engine hoist, or a helper/s.

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    Not only that but only the base coat is waterborne. The clears are still solvent based in waterborne systems. My brother in law bought a 66 baracuda project a few years ago. He tore it all apart and determined it wasn't worth fixing at the time. He was going to buy quarters and other body parts...

    Can I MIG without tanks?

    Something else nobody has yet mentioned about flux core is it's about 3 to 4x the price of regular wire. That could probably eat up the savings of not using gas. I have only used flux core a few times and wasn't real happy with the results.

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    I watched it for a third time tonight. I'm thinking one of two things; either the target audience is not "car guys" or the people who make it are idiots. They kept talking about Ford Galxies but half the old advertizing photos were of Chevells and Novas and they were calling them Glaxies. Only...

    Napa tool boards?

    NAPA hand tools are made by Danaher tool. I believe they are the same company that makes Craftsman and some others.

    Hey guys... new guy here.. a harbor freight employee...

    How does the company get suggestions for new products? A folding welding table like they use on the Extreme 4x4 tv show would be something good for them to make.

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    That is my only reason for watching any of those shows. I could care less about the drama. I watch other shows for that.

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    Even a respirator won't cut it with modern clears. The harmful isocyanate gets in through your eyes. A positive pressure system with a full face mask is the only safe way to go. I haven't watched the show but I think I have it recorded. My wife won't like it. She gets irritated when I yell at...

    Snowblower blew up with pictures

    Not only that but a JD with a TECUMAPART engine no less! Dad always said that if a Briggs or a Kohler blew up you could always find he reason. He said a Tecumseh could blow up for no reason at all. :bounce:

    Folding welding table?

    I have seen commercially built folding welding tables on tv shows like Extreme 4x4, and my local welding supply store has them. I would like to build my own, but I can't find any photos of them. I do some intense welding/fab projects that may last for a few days or weeks, then I may go for weeks...

    antisieze on brakes

    Anti sieze is ok for bolt threads, but needs to be kept away from the rubber parts. It is petroleum based and can deteriorate the rubber slide boots and other rubber components. Synthetic brake grease is made to be compatible with the rubber parts. I have always had good luck using it.
