I think the benefit of harbor freight is that I wouldn't be bothered if I had to modify one of their tools to fit a particular purpose or task. Looks like you already have one you like, but I can't imagine it would take all that much to stub the handle down to a one or two finger length that you were looking for. A cut wheel, and a lil kiss with the flap disk? And you'll always know it's your's 😎
Everyone used to complain about the free screwdrivers being junk. First of all, theyre free. You cant beat the price. They are junk as screwdrivers but theyre nice to have for when youre making a custom tool and want it to have a handle.
And at that length, you know you're never stripping a gear.. so who cares about the warranty anyway? Keeper oiled up and properly stored, will last a lifetime... Probably.
Thanks TIM JOHNSON. I got the HF drop blade folding knife finally (had to order none in any stores around me) and it is very sweet. A must have!
We saw it in the store when we were in there, but we didn't buy it....yet. Thanks for watching.
The ratchet looks like a standard 1/4 ratchet
Thanks for doing what you do, Tim. Your efforts don't go unnoticed. Cheers!
Love your input. I'm not a mechanic so yes I would call that a stubby but fear not I agree your point is valid. Maybe calling it a mini and than having a "true" stubby as well. My bother who is a mechanic (Small engines and what he has learned on his own) gave me some of what you call a stubby and I love them. As a wood worker I don't need handles a foot long and the short ones are great.
3:05 hammer on hammer is no bueno - hammers are typically hardened and can shatter sending shards out at dangerous speeds unless you KNOW one is soft (like a brass hammer)
I don't think they're as short as the milwaukee, but they do have the three pack flex head srubbys. I think it's the shortest I've ever seen at Harbor freight. Part number 70170
I have the transfer punches, and they work great. I use them for woodworking, so I expect them to last forever.
I also have the Icon pliers wrench. It has replaced all but the very smallest Crescent / adjustable wrenches I have. It's faster, and grips better.
I'm pretty sure they only have the Icon version, with no Pittsburgh nor Quinn equivalents.
Agreed 100%. Icon hand tools are phenomenal. Love the warranty that ratchets a little novelty-ish so to speak lol but it’s definitely not a stubby.
I really like the transfer punch set. I will probably get that soon
Great review Tim, I agree with theses tools, Big thanks for the Princess Auto call out , I live in Winnipeg where they started and was just in there yesterday afternoon buying those must haves even picked up a cheap battery powered fuel transfer pump for $30 bucks and put 2 AA batteries in it when i got home and drained a fuel tank that was 3/4 fuel after removing the rear seat funny it only took less than 10 minutes, the fuel was 3 yrs old, LOL, and all Princess Auto tools like Harbor Freight are lifetime warranty, i got tools from there that over 25 yrs old and no problems yet 👍
I love going to HF and looking for things I can't live without but I have to say I'm a bit miffed about the guys that have been tossed out of HF for filming in there.
For my hand tools I’m a HF guy. Love my icon tools. Love my US general tool boxes. I’m just an at home mechanic. These tools will last me the rest of my life and if I have any problem I can just walk into the store and get a no questions asked warranty.
It's hard to argue with that. Thanks for watching.
The only issue I have with harbor freight is they don’t make individual replacements like sockets or wrenches so lose one you have to buy a complete set.
I'm glad to see you covering Harbor Freight. I'm not a fan boy. I generally believe in buying the best you can, but HF is a great option if you choose carefully. If you're using it once a year, HF might be the way to go. I like Icon wrenches. Have a couple of the Hercules line, they don't match my Milwaukee or my Dewalt, but they're a surprisingly good value. They are working toward a full line of Icon, but I think they still have a way to go...like stubby ratchets.
That's not a stubby ratchet. Tekton has some very nice stubby ratchets too include 3/8 drive in a 1/4 body. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Transfer punches for sure if you want betones sur ebut them but for like 1/5 the price definitely worth
Yes a stubby in Pittsburgh
The oh shit clips are a great idea
wait isnt that dangerous to hit 2 hammers together? or is the engineers hammer not hardened like normal hammers?
I love harbor freight 90% of all my tools are from HF and if they break or I lose it while I’m at work I can just replace it with their warranty or buy a new one for cheap 🤷🏻♂️
HF sockets round off nuts and bolts
Which ones? I have several sets and never had one round something off. I generally use my gearwrench or truck brand sockets but have Pittsburgh sockets in all my vehicles and even at work.

You're using them wrong , you should stay away from any type of tool
Non diablo paddle bits and blades. :)
The fact that all three of the nearby home depots and Aces near me ONLY sell diablo inserts and nothing else has made me a bit weary and rebellious towards them. I like Harbor Freight because I can get bits and blades that **AREN'T DIABLO** there.
(Not related to Harbor Freight but): I discovered that I like Makita's very thin sawblades but I'm disappointed that I can only get them online because of their stubborn overdependence on only stocking friggin.. diablo...
1:20 CORRECTION: Because harbor freight is fkn dope! Lol
Lol. Thanks for watching.
A hacksaw will make it a stubby. LOL.
THIS IS TIM JOHNSON - Rip 😭
You didn't drop any shopping links this video? Well I guess that is good, now I won't click on the links and start shopping. LOL
We'll get those added shortly. Thanks for watching.
The shortest Harbor Freight stubby ratchet I have seen is a Pittsburgh 1/4” Dr. stubby #62191 but it’s still 4 5/8” long. That’s not even close to the Milwaukee stubby!
Yeah, we'd like to see a real stubby. They should definitely have it in the ICON series. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews and thanks for doing what you do, even if it does make me open up the wallet from time to time….lol!
That's not a stbby 1/4"
No... that's not a stubby....😑
Thank you, we agree.
Do you know what a ball-peen hammer is made for?
To hit ball point pen 🖊 😂
Bro trying so hard to pretend he ain't shilling for hongkong freight
