Killer example. Lost mine a while back Will get another one next time.

Can you elaborate on #3 ? I rarely use normal pliers. But I use needlenose often

That is why we starts threads and talk tools. So much to learn. Great thread guys!

I got one of those cone drill bits to drill holes in plastic. Works great ! https://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-quarter-inch-3-4-quarter-inch-high-speed-steel-step-drill-44460.html

Check. Check. Check. Check.

I'll need to take a closer look. Do you also have flex head ratchets?

Yup, that's my screwdriver set also. One of the most used tools in my entire toolbox, obviously.. So, great call, one of the best $10 I've spent. The next closest probably costs $20 elsewhere.

The jacks seem insane. This is $60. Even at cheap competitors, this would be 3x to 5x the price https://www.harborfreight.com/15-Ton-Aluminum-Rapid-Pump-Racing-Floor-Jack-64545.html?

Never seen this. What is it used for? I've been using mine inside the house. Nice sturdy light. https://www.harborfreight.com/14-in-38-in-drive-long-reach-dual-flex-head-ratchet-67994.html Never seen this either. Why do you need this? I typically just grab my 3/8 or 1/4 (or both) The $10...

better of investing that $3000 burning a hole in your pocket. turn it into $6000

This is the perfect summary of the HF battle. I have tons of tools in my chest that I would never pay $50 for using once. But, I gladly paid $5 or $10. That is the true power of HF, to allow access to tools you simply could not justify at the old price point.

Why did you stop being a mechanic?

And this was his response after visiting!

Here is how we responded to my friend:

LOL, a friend just asked me that! This caught me off guard, since I've never met a car guy who doesn't know anything about HF, regardless of personal stance. How do you explain the complicated HF phenomenon to a newcomer ?

You can get indiv. sockets on Ebay for $3.50

I got a used phone from Amazon Warehouse that was listed as used / open box. It was brand spanking perfect new. Sick deal.

The HF Braun uses the popular 18650 batteries. I have a few spares for my headlamp, so they can cross reference for this Braun lamp, as well.
