mattykrab Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 YEE thanks for the coupon! 15 dollar Timing gun + 20 percent off = 11 dollars after tax!!! woot thanks! haha i just bought that thing and i'm now searching for my receipt.... Am I just totally inexperienced with timing lights or is the light dimmer than all crap? I couldn't see it more than a few inches away outside in the shade today... maybe it's just for night? Should we start a little mini thread on our opinions of what HB tools are worthwhile and which ones arent? hmmm....ok i cant resist sharing a quickie list of what to stay away from at all costs (because i do frequent the freight): soldering gun - totally worthless.... just get a Weller almost any of their power tools... like the dremel or palm sander are terrible....but i've heard decent stuff about some air tools.... like the cheap-ass die grinder seems to be ok, as well as the brad nailer, if you take it apart and lubricate it before using it. drill bits - unless it's just for ROUGH woodworking only mini screwdrivers - they just bend and break. kind of hilarious actually knockoff quickgrips - up in the air. Will probably work for most purposes, but will absolutely break at some point.... don't be surprised. Quickgrips are muuuch stronger. Oh and by the way I'm not one of those guys who just reads crap on the internet and repeats it as his own opinion. :P I have a looong history with harbor freight. However, I have no experience with any of their automotive stuff. I'm curious now how well calibrated the torque wrench is, since the little manual says that it's spec'd for +/- 4%.. hmm.... percent of what? if it means percent of the range of the wrench, which is 150, then an 8% deviation is like 12 ft/lbs right? I'm imagining it's worthless already haha. Anyone else ever use it? Quote Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 .... Am I just totally inexperienced with timing lights or is the light dimmer than all crap? I couldn't see it more than a few inches away outside in the shade today. Yeah that thing is pretty dim but it DOES work at least. I bought one of the hand held grinders and I've already got allot of use out of it but had to take off the guard cuz it was too small for the right size disks. I have a line feed welder and an arc welder. Both are ok for the price. Quote Link to comment
mattykrab Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 haha...my 15 dollar timing gun just popped and stopped working. Quote Link to comment
troyt Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 As with everything in life, you get what you pay for. I avoid any HF gear that has precision or safety critical parts as I have experienced failures, but they are great for generic stuff like jackstands, tarps, gloves, goggles, jacks (but jacks do not qualify for the 20% Off coupons), creepers, etc Quote Link to comment

I can show you a picture of it. Scared the shit out of me. I'd only use them on tiny cars. Quote Link to comment

Scared the shit out of me. I'd only use them on tiny cars. Good point. I use four of their 2-tons under a 2000# car, so I guess I went with overkill. Chinese cost, Chinese quality. Wish all my tools said 'Snap-On'... Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 There have been 20% off coupons in the free "This Week" newspaper by the Oregonian in the smart source coupon section. Been in there the last few weeks. Good till sept.... Worth a look. Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I get the regular emails from Harbor Freight(not the inside track club) and they have been sending me 20% off coupons almost weekly. Just thought I would put that out there. Quote Link to comment

Wish all my tools said 'Snap-On'... Even with the expensive jack stands, we still use 6-7 ton jack stands for use with our 3400Lb race cars. We use them too much to even come near the load limit just for safety reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment
hertzcarsales Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Nice! I buy a decent amount of my "cheap" stuff from them. Their engine stands and hoists and stuff are good for the money. Thank you dear for share the information. i agreed with you. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Don't know much about MIG welders, but seems like for doing sheet metal this cant be all that bad? Quote Link to comment
mattykrab Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It can definitely connect pieces of metal together, but it won't be pretty. Expect to do a LOT of clean up grinding afterwards. A buddy got one and we found that MAX would blow most welds on sheet metal through, and MIN would generally spatter all over the place. It's pretty awful. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 That is exactly the kind of info I was hoping to get. Thats to bad but I am not really surprised. Seems anything other than nitrile gloves is just a waste of money from harbor freight. Quote Link to comment
Homeboyx Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Anybody have any experience with the 120 HB MIG welder? Is it as crappy as the 90? Looking to pick one up so I can teach myself... Quote Link to comment
BROWNE Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I use these all the time! Quote Link to comment
