Harbor Freight has a bad reputation for having “junk” merchandise. Some stuff there isn’t the best, I know that from experience, but a lot of their items are good for your DIYer and their top tier stuff would be fine in a professional setting I feel. Just know the tools limitations and take care of them. I don’t think their reputation is justified and it seems like they are turning out more and more mid to higher end quality tools. Hopefully their bad rap starts to go away.
Donnie you said it perfectly! I think Harbor Freight's name is probably the best it's ever been in my opinion. What do you think? Back when I worked in the trades in the late 80's I never even went into a HF. I think it's a cool store and you already said it, just know your tools and limitations. I agree it's such a great store especially for the beginner and DIYer. Thanks for your input, much appreciated and thanks fore the conversation.
@@BuildwithMooney Honestly, I think a lot it is a "follow the crowd" mentality. I work with people who have never ventured into a HF but ask me why I buy their "junk" 🤔🤣. It's the popular thing to say. And then on the other side of the spectrum, you may have 6'6" dudes that work in a diesel shop complaining that the mid tier Bauer impact isn't up to their expectations. That particular tool isn't really "made for them", you know what I mean? It's geared towards me when I rotate my Jeep tires once a year and put my wife's snow tires on her SUV. Expectations vs limitations should be fairly parallel lines but I think sometimes people's visions cause them to be, say, a little more perpendicular.
@@donnie017 I love it Man!!! Some people take this crap way too serious and I’m about to have a lot of fun with these folks! Can’t wait!
@@BuildwithMooney Lol. Have fun.🤣🤣 Have a great rest of the week, I'm about to use some of these "junk" tools to tear out my old deck boards and put down new ones here on my couple days off work.🤣🤣
@@donnie017 Heck yeah get it done! Great sense of humor! Now I need to get off my butt and get something done myself. Hope all goes well.
I hate it when I watch a video and leave with a shopping list. LoL! Great video. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber. God bless.
Hey thank you so much, means a lot to me! I've had a shopping list going on in my head my whole life lol the hardest thing is getting that list in my budget! 🤨
Using a heat gun to custom fit PVC on dust ports is a great tip .
Thanks! I got it from a guy on UA-cam he had a great tutorial basically just heating the pvc and reshaping it until it cools. Be careful once you heat it up once and have to work on the other end of the fitting it will want to return back to its original shape! It’s a little tricky, I found if you put the fitted piece you heated up first and leave it in while you heat up the other end so you don’t keep losing the shape over and over! I already made those mistakes for you! 😂
I like what you’re doing on your channel! Super cool carvings! I need some serious practice lol!
@@BuildwithMooney thanks! I need to start posting again
I'd take the Bandsaw off your hands, but I'm up in New England... so a little far...
Thanks! Just a little bit! You live in a very beautiful part of the country! Love that area!
I dont need a ban saw but it is very nice that you are giving it away. Great video and I liked and subscribed. Would be nice if you did a video on mechanic tools from Harbor Freight.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
What kind of tools are you thinking about? I like the idea, but I might not do it justice because my mechanic work is very limited. I’ll try most things at least once.
@@BuildwithMooney Tools like ratchets, wrenches, sockets, tool sets, tool boxes and bags, tape measures etc.
@@MichaelAmen316 Here are some more tools, some are from Harbor Freight. ua-cam.com/video/RbRcbZxMFj8/v-deo.html
I call mine the aluminum square.
Nobody wants a free bandsaw?! Bring it up to Minnesota haha
Well Dan you're right on the money, it's like pulling teeth giving this thing away, but I'm determined and I need the floor space!
Flush cut saw is my favorite
I want that bandsaw!
@@54jimmyz Sorry the bandsaw already found its home. Thank you!
I believe you must be in Palm Springs, CA. I live near Palm Springs, FL. I could really use the 14" Band Saw. Unfortunately, I live near the wrong Palm Springs.
I didn't know there was a Palm Springs in FL until someone else emailed me from there about the bandsaw. Maybe next time!
I knew you were local to me when I saw the website screenshots were using the Indio store.
A triangle...
I love the moving blankets to leave in the trunk of my car. Good if you are changing a tire, want to protect something you are moving, or as an emergency blanket.
You couldn't be more correct, definitely save your knees right!
There are a lot of recent bad reviews for the 6 in digital calipers within the last month or so with people saying all in the store had issues and maybe a bad batch on the shelves... recommendation is to try it out in the store before you leave if you decide to get one.
I wasn't aware of this, thanks for bringing me up to speed much appreciated! I've had this one for about 4 years and it works good for me. I do recommend just pop the battery out when not in use will definitely give you better battery life or keep a spare works too. I wonder what was wrong, I'm guessing a bad display reading?
Thanks for the information. Great suggestions on the must have tools.
You bet! Thanks for stopping by much appreciated!
6" or 12" speed square
Nice! You never know, we all call different names for tools around the country it seems with some variation.
