There is a Harbor Freight store near me and while they do have some great prices on tools and equipment I have once again found myself disappointed with their poor control of inventory and really aggravated at the apparent lack of concern for their poor performance and it appears that company policy…

Db, that has been exactly my experience. HF stuff may not compare to the stuff the trade guys get out of the trade catalogs, but it’s a fraction of the price and can be bought on the spot, no waiting. And for the average homeowner who’ll use it once every other year, it’ll hold up forever. Grante…

I see tow truck drivers, contractors, and other guys who have to do service in the field and I think I wouldn’t buy all the Snap On tools I have if they were going to be used all over everywhere and possibly be left on the roadside or stolen from a mobile truck. The cheaper stuff will have to do in …

I like HF, but I have to admit that ASE;s link was funny.

@ASEmaster ; That made my morning and now I know my day will go well…started with a good laugh. I go to Harbor Freight, but only for things like zip ties, shop rags, and other misc items. Never tools precision items or anything electrical. My daughter once bought me a 1/2 inch air wrench. I didn’t…

Few people need a 3500 dual wheel diesel pickup and few people need Snap-On tools. And while I made an effort to avoid Chi-Com junk for years but these days that’s nearly impossible. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Snap-On tools were from China. And for the DIYer the products at H-F and similar stor…

One of the problems I have with HF is that the staff does not know how to use or demonstrate what they sell. Has anyone bought and used the HF CAN and OBDII reader/code scanner? The call numbers are 60694/62120. Even though the unit is only $89.95, I still would like to see it being used or get a…

I think it’s unrealistic to expect the average hourly employee to be able to demonstrate all the tools and equipment that HF sells, having demonstrators on-site for the more technical product on some sort of schedule might be a good sales tool. It’s a good idea. I’d bet that if on days that the weat…

I signed up for HF’s Inside Track Club mostly because their parking lot sale is coming up this week and I need one of their motorcycle lift tables. [image] 1000 lb. Steel Motorcycle Lift This motorcycle lift has a foot-operated pump that allows you to easily lift your motorcycles or small…

I’ve had exactly the opposite experience. I do buy tools at HF, and I’ve found them to work great. They aren’t SnapOns, but they don’t have a SnapOn price either. And I’ve really gotten addicted to the free flashlights… {
