First, I hope this won't take a nose dive and will stay on track!
Second, I know there is already a HF pass/fail thread but
I'm wondering what is your favorite(or two or three) HF tools that you have bought. Based on value, quality, etc. Basically a HF pass list for tools you buy because you only plan on using them once in a while or because they are decent quality for the price. When I buy tools I try to buy the best quality I can afford, also considering how often I will use the tool. So most of my HF tools are ones that I will only use occasionally.
Here's one for me, the engine support. On sale right now for 60 bucks before 20% coupon. Good price and decent quality, especially for something I won't use often at all. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-engine-support-bar-96524.html. I thought about making one but after seeing ths one in store it looked decent and cost less then it would have cost me to make something of similar quality.
Another is the 800LB transmission jack, http://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-capacity-transmission-jack-3185.html. 139 right now, think I paid 129. Worked great and should last for the few trannys I will need to swap out.
So what are your good, surprise, value tool purchases from HF?

, and know the manager on a first name basis she took 20% an already cheapened coupon I had, because it was an opened box, manual insert damaged etc. It was around like $12 with tax wasn't exactly $9.99, but the gun itself still had the air valve cap on, couldn't beat the price so I bought both sets of the 3/8" 8pc impacts in sae & metric in shallow! Don't even get me started on how awesome they are!
