Just curious, I don't go to Harbor freight often. Has anyone found something they liked @ harbor freight recently?
Any new hand tools @ harbor freight?

Not really. About the only thing I'd buy from them is disposable gloves [not new] on sale, and this when they offer it on sale. 10mm socket assortment. 
A few interesting items, but I've not bought anything newly added. I don't own much HF these days.

Higher prices aside, I like that HF is adding more automotive tools. Their Icon lineup is growing as well, though I only have 1 Icon tool (razor blade scraper).

I bought some tweezers, carving tools, zip ties, and a small canvas tool bag. I also bought some Evaporust, and Plastidip, since they carry that (and lots of other good quality chemicals/sprays/grease/etc.

Last time I was there I noticed their paint brush selection has changed for the worse, but the price has increased. I know, inflation shrinkflation etc. but I'm stating a fact.

Are you on their email list? They send out ads with coupons almost every day.
Haven't been to their store in a year because I rarely see anything I need.

I just got the Bauer surface restorer. It worked wonders on rusted sheet metal. I look forward to abusing a rusty fender or two. Wasn't cheap, but cheaper than Eastwood's offering.
I can't add to the list, but I'm interested in hearing if anyone has experience or an opinion of this surface tool:

It's pretty aggressive, I'd definitely go gently, so as to not warp your trunk lid.

I bought the face shield today for 4.99
I have some wire wheeling to do and figure it can't hurt.

Sorry inside the trunk i thought this might be helpful tool to have. Lots of ridges and surface rust, the gasket went bad decades ago so there is some pitting, thought this would make quick work of the rust, then some bondo on the pits and sand and spray.
I bought it. It works well, though I haven't really had a chance to put it through its paces yet.I can't add to the list, but I'm interested in hearing if anyone has experience or an opinion of this surface tool:

I bought it because I had just finished some grueling rust removal projects but then I realized after I bought it I didn't have any other similar projects in my immediate pipeline. Go figure.
I am interested in how it works too when I paint my Excavator.
I got this pretty nice, but paid the full $19 price

These fit and work nice as well.

I got one of those recently and it's been a really handy tool carrier for working on vehicles and equipment.

I actually started a thread on them
HF Surface Conditioning Tool
I have been looking at this and wondering if it would be useful and being hf would it last. In hf manager comes by asks if he could help, i asked if they carried replacement drums, handed me a sanding drum, close, lol. Explained it to him that you need the consumables, he said I’ll take 20%...

With gas prices being what they are. I've opted for their manually operated chain saw recently
Can't say anything good about it though
just a joke.

I don't buy much in the way of actual tools there any more. I usually go in for gloves, disposable paint brushes, zip ties, etc. I recently bought a rolling tool stand for my band saw which works well. It has wheels at one end, casters at the other end, and jack screws to keep it from rolling in use. Oh yeah; I bought a bunch of $3 F-clamps for a boat building project. They work well, too.
