So I took my first trip to new HF store pretty much just to look around allthough I had some items on a list off of the web site I wanted to see. Mainly impact sockets and drive extensions.
The store was itself huge with stuff spread out all over, everything on display and all nice and clean. It was in where an old auto parts chain store was once located.
A couple things caught my eye right away one was the
68308 gloves.
Not bad looking and half the price of similar Mechanixs.
The other was this
4 pocket tool bag but I had recently purchased a new
CLC suede leather pouch off of Amazon at the start of last season to replace my old one that must be all of 25 years old now. It was become pretty worn and was looking pretty shoddy with all chromed rivets heads getting all rusted now too and I figured eventually the leather hammer loop is going to break. Still using it though its my favorite
So that's kind of what I liked about this HF one. It had decent smooth grain tanned leather and had leather hammer loops and the new one doesn't. The kicker was it was really long, came home and looked on the web site. The complaining review was that it was so long in length that your hammer hits your below your knee too much! :laughing:
And the other thing was I had first seen a $12.99 price card but on a closer look that was an Inside Track price and otherwise it was $19.99. There was a lot of that IT advertising in the store it seemed.
Believe it or not I passed up on everything my first trip!
So here's my future shopping list
1/2 to 3/8 impact adapters
1/2 Wobble extensions
37 piece Metric/SAE impact socket set
