Harbor Freight
 

Everytime I go to Harbor Freight I felt like a kid in a candy store, and I always end up buying things that I did not come for. So today I decided to get a metal band saw that they have on sale, i'm tire of cleaning after the chop saw.

Wait go to? Like you walk inside? ??? Damn, I get the cataloges every month, but would die if we had a store around here.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

I have two of them within 30 min. of me. Its great. Within the first month of me finding them I spent about $1500 in there. All that stuff you think is cheap adds up real fast.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

There's one 2 minutes away from where I work. I found this killer metal band saw for only 150, it's used to be 199. I got my chop saw for $50 there. They got some really cheap stuffs.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Harbor Freight is the ----!!! ;D
They always have something that you need.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

h-f stuff is cool.. the only thing that sucks is.. I'll buy something there and every 4 or 5 months find out its yet another 20 bucks cheaper.. oh well.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

there is a harbor freight in portland oregon lol

right in the middle of the ghetto.


iiissss alll goood though

Re: Harbor Freight
 

So now that you have the band saw, you'll be selling the chop saw real cheap, right? ;)

Re: Harbor Freight
 

bandsaws are really nice.....I think my hearing is getting worse from using my chop saw all the time. Really need to get some ear plugs. :P

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Harbor Freight is like that trick candy, you know, the ---- that looks real good but tastes like ass.. because you're thinking "damn how can this tool be so cheap?" and then you get it home and it breaks on you, or is otherwise weak as hell.. :P

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Steve, if you were local i would let it go for 10$, but that pos is heavy and shipping is totally not worth it. I probabl will end up throwing it away due to lack of space. My accountant/fiancee just give me an ok on the purchase so I should get it today. I don't need anything fancy or powerful, this band saw will be just fine ;D

Re: Harbor Freight
 

you probly have the same one my brother has. post a pic... but yea that place is awsome. i love going in there when i can.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Where are you? I'll come pick it up. lol.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

i got all my airtools there over 2 years ago for like 75 bucks! i don't need matco and snap-on in my home garage i don't use them 40 hours a week. i got there lowpro racing jack at the same time its now 40 bucks cheaper! but oh well its more then paid itself off all the times it has been used.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Yeah, I've got a couple Harbor Freights within 30 minutes of me as well. They're cheap tools (quality and price) but there are some things I would only buy there (like vices pry bars, etc.). The tools are so cheap you really don't care if they break, they're disposable. ;D

Re: Harbor Freight
 

I ordered stuff from Harbor Freight a month ago and it hasnt come, their shipping sucks, at least for me.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Lincoln, Nebraska :P it's $9.99 if you comes and pick itup. I just picked up the band saw earlier, i'm going to take pic of it in action this weekend. I"m going to be on a collector making frenzies!

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Damn, I was out pawn shoppin it today and came accross a used tool store. It's like a pawn shop for tools and it is the ----.

hmm, how am i going to come up on that chop saw. hmmmmmm

Re: Harbor Freight
 

I just found out there was one near me
picked up a welder and mask wit my friends discount( found out he worked there too) :P
They have angle grinders on sale this week with some other stuff so i know i'm going back for seconds. Can't wait to get my own garage

Re: Harbor Freight
 

everyone shold own a 4 1/2 angle grinder

Re: Harbor Freight
 

On sat. and sun. they are having a sidewalk sale. The angle grinders will only be $8.99 each. Trust me though, they DO NOT last long. I got one awhile ago and it was fried in no time. I guess if you won't be using it that much $8.99 isn't bad.

Re: Harbor Freight
 

I second that.
that is one of the must own tool in a garage.
Things in my garage that i can not live without
Tig welder
Air compressor
Vise grip
4.5 Angle grinder
Bench grinder

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Did you check the little motor brush thingy majiggies? I noticed mine wore out quickly but they included two extra in the box. They almost look like little magnets with springs on them. Anyway, the grinder will stop working when they where down or melt. Just pop 'em out, pop in the new ones and you're good to go again. ^-^

Re: Harbor Freight
 

It def. wasn't them. I shouldn't have said fried cause it makes it sound like it could be them. The gears inside took a ---- and it wouldn't even spin anymore. I could still turn it on and everything

Re: Harbor Freight
 

Wanna share? Where is this place. I always need tools ;D
