Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I keep our 20T (orange) press on one of those wood dollies.
It makes working on long stock a lot easier, since I can easily move it into center of the garage, then quickly stow it when I'm done.
I'll have to see if I can get one of the pneumatic cylinders on sale - sounds like a worthwhile upgrade.

Casters definitely under my 20T press for the very reasons you mention. I highly recommend the pneumatic cylinder mod.

Don't forget to ask for dolly batteries.

I guess the charger is sold separately.

No, this model is self charging. I've never seen a complaint about running out of battery power.

I just picked up the 3.5HP metal chop saw and the 12 speed bench top drill press. With the coupons and specials I couldn't pass them up and they are way better than a cut off wheel and hand held dewalt that I have been using to do my metal fab! We'll see how they hold up. The drill gets down to 300rpm, I did a few quick hols with it last night and it went through my pieces of flat stock like butter.

That sounds like a much stronger benchtop drill than the one I bought there 20 years ago. (and recently sold at a yard sale). Is yours their least expensive one, or a step better?

I bought a couple of those furniture dollies for the wheels to put on a couple of cabinets I made for the shop. It was cheaper to buy the dollies than to buy wheels separately. They must have been an older model, tho. There weren't any batteries.

Probably gas powered?

Anyone got one of these 4 1/2 inch hand trucks advertised on the HF website today?

LOL, they are 40 grit too. Nothing will slip off including your skin.

Beginning to look like it was some intern's last day at HF.
