Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[AchingBack]

Last fall I bought the HF electric 7amp pole saw for $59. I'm impressed! Did some serious pruning this winter cutting up to 5in branches and it cut great! I figured I would get one job out of it... not so! Lightweight but sturdy enough for occasional use around the house. Trimmed up a bunch of lower branches on my evergreen trees as well. Wait for a parking lot sale or use the 20% coupon. Don't pay the $84.99 price.

How long of an extension cord, and what gauge do you use? I imagined you are close to a power source when you said, around the house.

I don't know... probably used 75ft standard three prong... maybe 14g max. Also for the further put my Honda generator in my FEL bucket and ran 25ft to get to the evergreen trees.

Well, if sodamo is posting here, there must be a new Harbor Freight in Hilo or possibly Kailua/Kona! Woohoo!

I wish

Here's the rip off section quoted from the site FAQs:

Class Counsel will ask the Court to approve payment of attorney's fees and reimbursement of their expenses of up to $10,000,000.

Attorney's fees and expenses will be paid by Harbor Freight and will not reduce payments to Class members.
[Yeah right, as if HF wouldn't pay customers more if the lawyers took less...]

Class Counsel will also ask for incentive compensation of up to $10,000 for the Class Representative, to be paid by Harbor Freight.
[I take that to mean the person who filed the suit in the first place, but I'm not sure...]

The Court may award less than these amounts. The Court will determine how much to award in attorney's fees and costs to Class Counsel and in incentive compensation to the Class Representatives at the Final Settlement Approval Hearing on July 7, 2017.

This is really no different than the suits being brought against JCPenny, Sears, Macy's and Kohl's... They advertise stuff as being a "Sale" price, when, in fact, many times it's not the case. It suckers people into thinking they're getting a discount that's not real. It's deceptive.

Does anyone have the link to the TBN members website of HF coupons that was mentioned a few months ago?
I've tried searching but must have missed it.

Has anyone tried one of these Circuit Breaker Tracer Tools?

I'd like to start marking the breakers in our panels. Each building, at the ranch, has a sub-panel plus a panel in the house.
