The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

[cowboy73]

I bought one of these antenna wrenches last year to replace the power antenna on my old Delta 88. It looks like this. Cost $2.99.

View media item 8193
Major PASS. Easily removed the antenna nut that had been on there for over 20 years.

PASS on the folding 4ft x 8ft 1,195lb capacity trailer.

http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/trailer-trailer-accessories/1195-lb-capacity-48-inch-x-96-inch-heavy-duty-foldable-utility-trailer-with-12-inch-wheels-90154.html

It cost me $240 about a year ago with the 20% coupon. It went together very well, and works great. Some of the items mentioned in the instruction manual, like assembling and packing the wheel bearings, were already done. I use it all the time to haul stuff like lumber and vinyl flooring, trips to the local recycling yard, and hauling my self propelled snowblower around. It tows great on the short 2-20 mile trips I use it for, but I haven't pushed the 45 mph max rated speed. I don't think I'd use it for a really long trip, but it would probably make it. It folds up and takes very floor space if you aren't going to use it for a long time. They even give you the dimensions and plans for stake sides.

 

[787B]

Hey Rick, that trailer will go a long, long way at double the speed it's rated for. Not that I'm recommending that.

I have one of the smaller ones with the 8" rims. It was given to me by the original owner. It probably has 50,000 miles on it. We both used it as a track tire trailer, and when my 3rd-gen RX-7 was my only car, I used it as a trunk. Hauled all kinds of heavy stuff with it. First owner drove all over the East coast and to California and back to Maryland with it. He spent over an hour hauling it over 100 MPH in Arizona (state troopers confirmed ). I would regularly make the 1.5 hr trip to track at 75-80 MPH hauling four tires and a large bin full of jack, tools, spares, air-tank, etc. Only problem I ever had was one of the fenders fell off because it is poorly mounted. The metal fatigues and cracks, then it falls off. Took more than a month to get a replacement from China, but I was surprised I could even get one. No trouble since with large washers under the bolts spreading the load.

Neither of us ever repacked the bearings. I just make sure they are tight and running cool every now and then.

Pittsburg Pro #2 phillips driver-
http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/screwdrivers/2-x-4-inch-phillips-screwdriver-94707.html
BIG pass.

The "super coupon" book had them for a buck, so I got one along with some other tools, And i'm amazed. It's a really nice screwdriver.


6' Bar clamps-http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/clamps/6-inch-bar-clamp-96210.html

I dont get why you wouldent buy these!, The threads on the screw are good, the handles are nice, being that they are for wood working you shouldent be able to break them, and they are dirt cheap! My dad used them along with the screwdriver to build a set of saw horses.

13 peice Deep ASE impacts- http://www.harborfreight.com/13-piece-12-drive-sae-deep-wall-impact-socket-set-67903.html

I must have got the New Pro versions, because I cant find anything wrong with them like everybody says, the numbers, are stamped in, the oxide finish is good, the insides are clean and correctly made, the drive holes are square and in good shape. And for $17 I can really complain if anything does go wrong with them.

 

[xcgates]

Re: the folding 4ft x 8ft 1,195lb capacity trailer

I have to say a definite pass on that, I have one folded up in my garage right now, that got me from upstate NY to SA, TX, much of which was a *bit* higher than the recommended speed, towing a not-lightweight motorcycle. I got a spare tire and wheel so I wouldn't get a flat and have put probably 2500 miles on it.

Bearings were already packed, and while I keep meaning to repack them, they are still cool.

 

[bsaint]

2 ton low profile jack. Orange edition. It works but not that great. The saddle bell cranks tie rods have a different center to center so only one rod is keeping the saddle flat. It feels like I posted this before but can't remember. Anyways its getting replaced soon by "The Beast" off the Matco truck. I dont care if its a chinese jack, its massive, smooth and only 300 bucks.

 

[Goobzilla]

10# Soda Blaster PASS. Works very well, did a couple of valve covers today. The only drawback is you have to partially disassemble it to fill it. Other than that it is working well. I think this model is being closed out, I got it for $35 at the sidewalk sale and the 15# is $99.99. They did give me the 2 year protection plan for $9.99 so I should be able to upgrade if there's a problem.

 

[jayoldschool]

Less fails lately...

BTW, I picked up the three different sizes of the Pittsburgh Pro ratchets a couple of months ago. PASS. I like them much better than the Mastercraft and Craftsman ones I have.

 

[Danglerb]

I picked up the 200 watt power inverter at the parking lot sale for $16, declined the $10 warranty, and took it home and tested it. Inventing a new rating,

Pass, but not a great value or choice.

I plugged in my 7 watt cfl trouble light and it seemed to work fine, but hooking a meter to the other outlet I got a reading of 95 v ac on one meter and 100v ac on another, both meters showed 120v ac from a wall outlet. Could be the modified sinewave thing.

Manual says only use a car battery with the motor running, meaning it apparently lacks low voltage shut off.

Rubber plug covers didn't fit back on outlets well at all, and generally it felt cheap, very thin insulation on the battery clips for instance, fan runs all the time, bunch of little things.

Model is 66967, 200 watt cont, 400 peak inverter.
http://www.harborfreight.com/200-watt-continuous-power-inverter-66967.html

I bought a Cobra CPI480 refurb off ebay for $20 shipped, and this one is already packed back in its box to return to HF, not a fail, but better for close to the same money is available. Cobra is about $30 new other places, including walmart with free ship to store, but reviews were good enough I am ok with refurb.

 

[subarub4]

is glass bead media safe for aluminum wheels?

 

[Bo Heck]

The hose seems to be OK. I've been using it for 2 or 3 years now.

Mine cracked and now has major leaks without serious usage after only 2 years. Think it has something to do with the non climate controlled barn its in.

 

[ZRX61]

The ******** extension leads.. Do they have any where the ground pin doesn't fall off & stay stuck in the recepticle?

 

[BQuicksilver]

Less fails lately...

Agree, though their pricing has been creeping up in line with their improving quality. Obviously they know this as their "professional" line is slowy taking up more shelf space.

 

[LEVE]

I don't often use flare wrenches; they've never been a priority. An oil line problem on the Astro this week pushed me over the edge. I'm tired of using standard wrenches, or not having the correct flare wrench, and rounding off fittings. I broke down and bought the SEA set.

They worked well with no spread of the wrench and tightened up the lines slicker'n snot.

HF Part Number: 99992 Flare Wrench Set



Next week I'll go back and buy the Metric set.

 

[jdv]

Picked up two sets of the 1500lb dollies for a 2800lb Mustang (engine + trans are both in the car). The retaining hardware is cheap and the casters are dry out of the box. I'm able to move around the car in my 18x18 garage by myself pretty too much effort. When its time to move the car into a new direction it does take a bit of effort to get the casters moving into a new direction. I've actually pushed the car over some cardboard and was able to push it back off without a problem too (accident).

Overall I would say it's a pass if you can get it on sale for $50 or less.

Got the Haul Master 6000lb rolling stock / 2000lb straight pulling 12v winch. I used it to pull up my 2800lb Mustang up onto a trailer. It worked great for pulling up the car onto the trailer (The car is also out of alignment, and the ramps had quite a steep slope to them). The only downside I could find is that it only comes with one mounting bracket to be mounted to a hitch ball mount, and it does not have a reverse. I have a feeling the cable (quite thin) is the weak link of this winch, the motor is pretty stout on it.

Also another pass I picked this one up for $34 on sale I believe.

Yea, I tried to buy a metric craftsman set but they were not in stock at the time. Ended up with these Pittsburgh Flare wrenches for under $10 and they've worked great on brake lines and fuel filters. They even gripped rounded flare nuts I had thought ruined by open end wrenches. I liked the metric set so much I bought the SAE set too. I can't bring myself to buy any other Pittsburgh wrenches though.

 

[dodge610]

I have both SAE and Metric sets from HF and have not had a problem with either set. Also have the open end and box wrenches from Hf those seem to work very well also got both at a great price at one of the parking lot sales.

 

[SledgeFix]

I outfitted my garage with an array of lesser-used air tools from HF over the winter as coupons popped up, but didn't have the motivation to break them in with oil until last week. Anyone else have one of their air drills and notice the chuck being off center? I'm going to take the 3/8" pistol-grip, 1/2" reversible, and 3/8" 90-degree drills I bought to a machinist friend of mine to check for certain, but I think none of them are true. Not just the large collar with the gear that the key drives tight, the chuck itself. I can't tell if it's the three teeth inside the chuck or the shaft/bearings themselves, but by eye they all seem off to me. None of the other tools seem off at all, though I haven't put them to real use yet. As far as fit and finish, everything I picked up seems great.

98896 1/2" reversible air drill

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/drills-screwdrivers/1-2-half-inch-reversible-air-drill-98896.html

94585 3/8" air drill

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/drills-screwdrivers/3-8-eighth-inch-reversible-air-drill-with-keyed-chuck-and-key-94585.html

67474 3/8" right angle air drill

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/drills-screwdrivers/3-8-eighth-inch-reversible-air-angle-drill-67474.html

52847 air die grinder (this is the tiny one) PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/grinders/1-4-quarter-inch-rear-exhaust-air-die-grinder-52847.html

This grinder seemed a little off-center as well as the drills, but at 20k rpm I don't see it being a problem for what I payed for it and the work I intend it to be used for. It also may have just been the cheap arbor I had been judging with.

95504 4" air grinder PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/grinders/4-inch-air-angle-grinder-95504.html

32940 air hammer (this is the shorter model, not "super duty") PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/hammers/air-impact-hammer-kit-32940.html

I can't tell the difference between this hammer and the one I use at work, not sure of the brand but it's a tool truck piece.

97187 5" air sander with Jacobs chuck (keyless chuck) PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/sanders/5-inch-high-speed-air-sander-with-jacobs-chuck-97187.html

I picked this up to do right angle grinder work because I rarely need all the speed an actual die grinder offers and the chuck allows me to swap out tools easier. I don't have much use for the 5" grinding discs it's meant for but who knows. The shaft, even with the removable chuck, seemed true enough for precise work, even if it spins too fast for such.

95028 Composite cutoff wheel PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/specialty-air-tools/3-inch-composite-air-cut-off-tool-95028.html

This is a little bulky, and more expensive than the rest of the 1/4" grinders, but it's very nice. Doesn't get cold from extended use, hardened surface under the safety to prevent wear, just a great piece of manufacturing imho. I had planned on getting all three pieces but they mysteriously pulled the right angle grinder after less than a month.

67538 multifunction air tool PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/specialty-air-tools/variable-speed-multifunction-air-tool-67538.html

I had put off getting into this new breed of gadgets but the price and pneumatic style of this one seemed right. The crinkle finish on the trigger and housing are great, the movement is smooth and light, the only hangup is a rare jam where it'll just bleed air at trigger press and you have to nudge the business end around so the turbine will spin again. I haven't taken it apart yet but this might be machining crud leftover in the works.

3/8" butterfly trigger impact wrench PASS

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/impact-wrenches/3-8-eighth-inch-drive-75-ft-lbs-torque-compact-air-impact-wrench-93100.html

I thankfully haven't had to fix anything this month on my car but I had been wanting one of these for those frustrating buried bolts that no amount of leverage, wobbles and extensions can seem to break loose. Surprisingly smooth in operation, the trigger axle shaft is embarrassingly loose though. The chassis has to be disassembled to get it out so I'm waiting on fixing that but it's a sore point on an otherwise very decent go-to tool.

Central Pneumatic Garage Air Kit (#66747) - BIG FAIL

I needed to plumb my shop for air, as I was tired of having a mess of air hoses all over the shop. I came across a a Central Pneumatic Garage Air Kit at my local Harbor Freight store (part number 66747) and decided to buy it. It's usually a $100 item, but it was on sale at $54.99 and I had a 20% off coupon. It ended up being about $47 out the door. It is very very similar to the Rapid Air kit that sells for three times the price. It comes with 100' of 1/2" O.D., 3/8" I.D. tubing and all the fittings in the pictures.

I had the quick connect. It wasn't included in the kit.

Well, I went ahead an installed it. It went together in a few hours. The biggest problem was uncoiling the hose, but I managed to get it done.

I put the kit together in a few hours, but I've spent the last three days trying to fix all the leaks. EVERY CONNECTION IN THIS KIT LEAKS! I got the leaks down to a "managable" amount, such that my 60 gallon tank would go from 130 psi down to about 30 psi in 24 hours. Well, today I went to use it and a quick connect fitting popped out and drained the tank in a couple of minutes. The slightest (and I mean SLIGHTEST) movement at a quick-connect fitting can fix or create a massive leak. This kit is the finickiest thing I've ever bought.

Harbor Freight has a lot of good stuff, but this kit is a total piece of ****! It is coming down tomorrow and it will go back to the store.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. STAY AWAY!!

Yeah, I bought the grinder a couple of years ago. It seemed to not want to run right out of the box. Sometimes when I pushed the trigger it just blew air instead of ran. So I opened it up to clean and oil it inside. That grinder made me swear I'll spend some money on a good one in the future.

I also have a couple of HF DA sanders that do the same thing.

Being that I'm somewhat into air-ride (my trucks been on air for about 10 years now)...I recognize those PTC fittings (Push to Connect). Those fittings are the cheapo import knockoff of SMC brand fittings. They're leak prone and ****...like you found out. I hope they let you return them.

I upgraded my truck after doing a half *** job many moons ago to Swagelok & SMC (all copper) fittings, used Loctite 545 on every thread, and now my truck is 100% leak free, I can set it and forget it

Central Pneumatic Garage Air Kit (#66747) - BIG FAIL

my results were the same as yours. to remedy this, i kept the distribution blocks and have replaced the hard line w/ 1/2 inch goodyear airhose. i bought the 50 foot hose from hf when i returned the air kit "less" the distribution blocks I grabbed appropriate brass barb fittings from hardware store and used a pex style crimp clamp to secure the rubber hose to the barb fittings. not one leak in over a year. it is not a baller setup with copper pipe all throughout the garage--but i have my 40x60 shop plumbed nicely and it doesnt leak. I also dont have any moisture in the lines, so im happy.

i was so pissed off that i plumbed my garage for it and drilled holes in the wall to run it only to have it leak. i figured f' them on the return and kept the aluminium blocks.

For welding helmets I wouldn't buy the Kolbalt or anything but the best and definitely not imported. Don't think because they are approved that they are okay, they send in nice ones for approval. You want to buy cheap stuff, whatever, but for your own sake don't skimp on a welding helmet. I'd use a decent non automatic before trusting a Harbor Freight auto.


.

I have an imported auto darkening welding hood. An Optrel. You have something against the Swiss? But yeah no way I'd go Chinese on a welding hood. Not when this is their idea of safe practice:

Re: Thread Hijack Re: soldering-gun-4328

Does anyone have this soldering gun?
http://www.harborfreight.com/180-watt-industrial-soldering-gun-4328.html

I could use one, and I have some HF store credit. The reviews are pretty mixed. Sounds like the tips ****, but you can get cheap replacement ones at Sears.

I always hated soldering because I ussed crappy guns, so I'd like a decent one. I just don't feel like spending $50+ at Sears for one. Especially when I have store credit at HF, so it'll be basically free.[/QUOTE]

I have the real deal as in Weller 8200-N's and they're just not like regular soldering irons. They have their place, but it isn't the first thing I grab to solder with.

I'm not omniscient but I know a thing or three about soldering and the biggest mistake I commonly see is soldering ruined by contamination. Most people do not understand the vital importance of meticulous cleanliness when it comes to soldering. Most "ruined" soldering equipment I've encountered is just oxidized tips which falls in the clean fail category as well.

But a gun as powerful as the one in this post it is easy to overheat the tip and burn it out (black oxide coat). There is such a thing as too hot when it comes to soldering. These guns can be made to work but they're almost(?) designed to fail. Everything about them makes common soldering tasks a lot more difficult than they really should be.

Like I said I have similar, and I solder a lot, just not with guns. They're really for soldering ground braid to old time tube chassis and the like. So if that is the sort of soldering you do get it, if you're soldering wires to switch lugs well... its not that you can't, but there are more suitable tools. You can swat flies with a sledge hammer too but don't expect your shop to win any awards afterwards!

Part of mine just did:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Pauls-Electronics-Pit/

I'm just saying is all.

 

[pfred1]

I have had the electric flyswatter for years. It's not much good for fast flies as they seem to avoid it well. Wasps, slower flies and such are great fun though.
The soldering gun just isn't very good. I've used one at a friends shop and found the feel to be all wrong and the tip was sloooow to heat up. If you have time, hit the flea markets or garage sales and get a decent old Weller for a pittance. I have picked up four in the last two years and still haven't spent $25 on them. One came home for three bucks last week. I have given them to the kids so mine isn't loaned out when it's needed.

Ha Ha HA! that's too funny! For some odd reason I have a hard time passing up old Weller guns at markets too. I think I'm done buying them now though. I have one mint in a box. But yeah I usually don't pay more than $5 for one in the plastic case etc. Flea Markets are my anti Horrible Fright. Whenever I get a great tool at a great price I always think to myself even the Chinese can't compete with this!

But making the rounds is no picnic either. I often go out looking and don't see anything. So it isn't for the instant gratification crowd at all. It still helps my shop not be so much of a shrine to imported garbage.

Latest score, a Stihl FS108 for $20. It just needed the plug cleaned and the carburetor adjusted now it runs like a champ! Nice $400 machine. That'd be a what, an 80% off coupon? It was a total **** shoot though, I just happened to get lucky is all. I was prepared to totally rebuild it.

10" Worry Free Tire
ITEM # 96691 MANUFACTURER: H-M
NO MORE FLATS

http://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch-worry-free-tire-96691.html

I needed replacement tires for my steel hand truck. The stock pneumatic tubeless tires just stopped holding air after 10-15 years of use. But, the welded steel hand truck itself was bought at HD and is still in very good shape. Carries 200-300# without much trouble except for the tires. Most replacement tires are expensive. These were on sale for $11.99 so I gave them a try. Couldn't be more pleased.

The rim is plastic so keep it out of the sun.

+1, I got the Metric version yesterday for my Camry. I needed the the 30mm for the valve cover.

For $21 with the 20% coupon, I got the metric set, the 4 pc socket adapter set and a free set of black handle screwdrivers.
