Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[Iplayfarmer]

They run the 6.5's down as low as ($89?) or $99 for sure...I have not really seen how low the 11's go for....$299 is cheap though and 20% off coupon will make it $240.

The sale right now includes the 6.5's for $129.99. If the 6.5's can go for ~25% less than the current sale, I'm going to assume that the 11's will too. I'll keep my eyes out for $250 or so. After 20% off, it'd be just about $200. I can do that. I'm not sure the finished go-cart would be worth much more than that anyway.

I'd like to get a 6.5, but the shaft is the wrong size. I'm afraid that by the time I bought a different clutch, etc. or adapted the shaft I'd be within the price range of the bigger engine anyway.

I made some extensions for my 6' tiller so I could use it with my HF quick hitch. The bar stock is 3/4" thick and the saw cut right trough it. I counted while I was cutting and it was less than 30 seconds. Here are a few pics cuase we all know it didnt happen if you didnt take pics.

Hey! Please note that I never got one taker on that POS portable band saw from Horrible Freight I offered up free of cost; just pick up or pay shipping. I mean, c'mon, would I offer up a gift like that if it weren't top quality?!

PS, I still like my claw hammer! It's honestly my favorite.

Just for fun I'll quote the first post in that other thread:

So it seems like a vast majority of the stuff we all buy from HF we are generally satisfied with. (at least the... i paid pennies on the dollar, so the fact that it lasted me only ______ was worth it to me)

so to that end... it might be easyer to list what HASNT! gone well.

to date the only thing that has been a total dud was the flareing tool. it was useless. it would do single flares, but not double flares needed for break lines. Overall failier mode, not enough clamping force on the tubeing due to poor tollarnce on hole size. I tried grinding down the mateing surfaces (thus reducing the overall diam... but only in one direction which resulted in slightly oblong flairs that still wouldnt double flair.

how about a rateing system.... 1-10...
1 being "not worth the cardboard packing it came it"
10 being "cant tell the diffrence between it and the name brand high $ version"

flaring tool - 1
grinding discs - 7
40$ auto-darking helmet. - 6 (works ok, but the strap broke after about 6 months)

assume everything else ive bought im happy with.

Emphasis mine but I've quoted schmism verbatim without omitting anything.

'nuff said.

Hey, that looks like my old welding table!
Got to agree with you on the saw. Used it for the first time to cut 1/4" plate and it went through like a hot knife through butter. Second time was on 3/8" plate. The cut was clean and smooth, unbelievably smooth. Your example shows me I have more to look forward to.
Oh yeh, here is the proof.
