    making a living with value tools

    Time vs money. If it is going to cost me 1 hour of time to file or sharpen or I can spend $10-20 for a new replacement tool.. well my time is worth more then 10-20/hr.

    Long drawers with one set of slides

    When I almost bought a Husky box I threw two boxes of their impacts into the drawer and tried to open and close it. The slides had a palpable grind to them, the middle of the drawer sagged so bad that it rubbed, and the soft close mechanism stopped working. Color me unimpressed. I have a HF...

    I dont think there is much HF/SO overlap, but I do hear a few more new techs going HF. HF absolutely destroyed Husky, Kobalt, and Craftsman. I'm waiting on another tool storage coupon so I can grab a side cabinet.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    You can all thank me. I did the unthinkable. I used a $0.69 paintbrush from HF. It was one of the "professional" brushes with The thick semi transparent bristles.

    Power tools peaked

    I have corded tools I haven't touched on hears. Who wants to play with cords for tools when I can grab a tool and use it without stringing extension cords and looking for plugs. I'm just Joe-blow homeowner. The pros are probably a lot happier not having cords all over their workspace and getting...

    What products are surprised HF doesn't offer?

    Those were apparently pulled due to demand. They are trying to fill orders due to the overwhelming number of people interested. Who knows if that is true, but that was the rumor. I hope they come back.
