    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Anyone know anything about a new breaker bar? I noticed in the latest flyer I got in the mail that it had one more breaker bar listed than usual. It's another 1/2" drive that's 25" long but it's shown as the "professional" version, and with a comparable price of $127.30??? It doesn't show up...

    All Tekton tools on sale at Meijer

    So last week I stopped by my local Meijer's and saw that all their Tekton tools were on sale. I think it was only like a 10% discount though. I picked up some razor blades cause that was the only thing I really needed at the moment. Today I was there again and saw that everything was now buy...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    1650 PSI Electric Pressure Washer - Item #69488 - Pass I picked this up the other day for $80 with coupon,.. bought it for cleaning my truck and dirt bike. For these tasks it works perfectly. If you're looking to clean your deck, fence, or patio look for something with a higher GPM rating. I...

    Digital caliper purchase help

    If you're a hobbyist buy the HF ones. If you're buying them for work get something nicer like Mitutoyo,.. Personally though I prefer dial calipers, have a set of Helios and Mitutoyo myself.

    does anyone have Dewalt's reversible ratcheting wrenches?

    I picked up a metric set today! My initial impression is very good,.. at 40 bucks I think they are a steal for a new set of ratcheting combo wrenches. All of them seem to work perfectly, overall quality looks good, and the chrome is better than most of what I have seen coming out of China. I...

    10 piece set of Dewalt reversible, ratcheting, offset wrenches normally $99 - now $39

    I was able to find the set when I searched my local deals on sears website. Placed an order for one of the metric sets this morning, will pick them up after work. I've been looking for a good deal on a set of wrenches like these that weren't made in China and this was too good to pass up. :thumbup:

    Kobalt Roto Ratchets

    Opps, I didn't notice that when I read it the first time. It's possible though that it's just a normal handle under the rubber one. Maybe someone else will know. I have two of the HF ones, but I don't want to cut the handle off to see.

    Kobalt Roto Ratchets

    All the roto ratchets out now look the same. I'm pretty sure they're all coming out of Taiwan, my guess is that's where the Kobalt ones are made. Save yourself a few $$$ and just get the HF ones. http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-quick-release-swivel-head-ratchet-96782.html

    Looking to upgrade my air compressor

    Right now I've got the HF 3 gallon 1/3 hp oilless pancake compressor. I've been getting by with it for the last few years now but I really want something more. This compressor barely does what I need it to do, it takes way too long to get to it's 100 psi max, and the 3 gallon tank looses...

    LED Work Lights: Husky vs Smart Electrician

    They put off almost no heat. You can have the light on for hours and still touch the lens without getting burned.

    LED Work Lights: Husky vs Smart Electrician

    So I went to Menards today for their 11% off sale and while I was there I decided to check out their work lights. Lately I have been looking for a second work light to use alongside the Husky 800 lumen work light I picked up last year. I had been looking high and low for a compact and bright...

    HF equals what?

    HF has been in business since '77 and anytime I go to one of their stores it's always busy no matter what time of day. I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that their stores will still be around in ten years. When will the haters wise up?!?

    I have the Mango II and really like it. The handle has a triangular shape which fits my hand well.

    Torque wrench suggestions

    I recently upgraded from the HF torque wrenches to the Husky ones from Home Depot. The 3/8 and 1/2" ones are made in U.S.A. and are sold under other brand names for more money. The 1/4" is made in Taiwan and is the same wrench as the precision Instruments one. Edit: not split beam but clicker style
