    The Sordid Past of Harbor Freight Tools (this is NOT an HF bash thread!!!)

    Back in the 90’s I used to order quite a bit of Milton air couplers from HF catalogs. Occasionally there’d be some Snap On products advertised. But I think the latter were advertised in the smaller/thinner Buyer’s Club or whatever it was called that you paid a fee to belong to for special offers.

    Floor Jack maintenance HF 67022

    The 4 ton HF floor jack, which I purchased new this year, has instructions that mention bleeding prior to use. It would be a good idea to grease all the pivot points and wheels.

    Ace Hardware 5,000th Store

    Got a chance to visit a small Ace that I had been planning to stop at for a good while. While tiny, it is surprisingly well stocked and well run. Had no idea it was that packed with goodies. Nice supply of regular hardware items. They also had quite a number of Craftsman wrenches. I'll have to...

    Ace Hardware 5,000th Store

    There is an Ace that I used to frequent, mainly , because they sold guns. They were the closest hardware store that stocked hunting items. I thought it was cool. Unfortunately so did the thieves who broke into the store. After that, ACE headquarters decided it was too much of a liability. Dang...

    Harbor Freight Jack Stands OK?

    I kind of wish HF would sell the HD stands similar to what Sunex has. Ended up buying several of those for heavier machines. But I still use the flat based Sunex stands for pickups and cars.

    Anyone own a Kuken Model KW-1600Spro Impact Wrench?

    Good info. During my haste, I got busy trying to do too many searches on impacts and missed the details on the KW-1600 Spro. I'll probably just stick with top name brands instead of Japanese brand impacts.

    Best Flour Jack

    The Napa 3.5 ton 791-6440 and HF 4 ton have held up well. I will say that the Napa has a more solid feel than the HF when jacking a vehicle. It has a rubber saddle pad and also has the slow release feature. Yes it costs more, but appears to be well worth the higher price.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    The HF 4 ton floor jack is still holding up well. Only been using it to lift a pickup. And of course jack stands are used while doing this.

    Your Favorite HF Tool

    I forgot about the ball peen hammers. Gotten many years of use out of them. Used to buy a lot of their disposable gloves. Probably should start ordering them again.

    Your Favorite HF Tool

    Guess so far it's the 4 ton floor jack. Bought a GY orange 3/8-50 foot air hose from them back in the 90's and still use it often.

    Need some better drill bits

    After buying many cheaper sets over the years, it's time I got some that are better quality for drilling metals. Recently while repairing a piece of farm equipment, I had the pleasure of using some expensive bits that are superior to what I own. Had to drill through a hardened shaft that twisted...

    Recommend a 12" combination square

    Take a look at LaSquare sold by LaGesse Products. Made in the USA. http://lasquares.com http://lasquares.com/about/ I bought one so far and plan on buying an extra. Has a wider base. Very well constructed. If ordering online ask the company for a coupon code.

    Any info on the Harbor Freight portable Miter a saw table.

    Sorry but it appears HF no longer sells the two identical miter saw tables that I purchased several years back. I didn't realize the version they're selling now is far different.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    The four ton floor jack item# 68056 gets a PASS/ good review. FedEx damaged it during shipping. It got banged up pretty bad when whoever had it upside down. The brass, metric grease zerk on the lift arm was snapped off upon arrival. There were three holes on the top of the box and one side was...

    Any info on the Harbor Freight portable Miter a saw table.

    Not sure if they changed them up any since purchasing two a long time ago. But for simplicity they are OK. Nothing fancy. They serve the intended purpose just fine. Used mine on a couple house remodels.

    Napa Auto Parts doesn't allow tool/product reviews?

    Just realized I've never seen any reviews or place to leave them on the website. On certain tools for instance, it would be in their favor to have customer reviews. It could definitely help sell products. Just look at Amazon and Harbor Freight. I know of several people who only purchase items...
