Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[newbury]

Hate to interrupt the discussion of oriental food and eating habits but did everyone notice in the new catalog the 16 drawer, 26", red roller cabinet 961609/67831 is back on sale for $299.99 on page 2 (or you can get it for $349.99 on page 18).
They've also got the small Lithium Iron jump battery on sale for $69.99 on page 2 and their is a coupon for $10 off on page 34 (don't know if it will work)

Back to chopstics for a moment if OK. I've wanted to use them for years but have no idea how. Can anyone offer a quick primer? The closest I've been to chopsticks is HF.

Nothing sillier than eating supper on the dinner table. What's up with that?
Also, TV trays were intended to be used with the old tube type TVs not flatscreens.

It will come pre-dented but we have two in our family and it is a deal. I suggest you open it on the premises if you are picky. The casters are beefy I will say.

Reminded me of this instant classic ...

You should see my wife not only eat rice with them, but noodles, ice cream and peanuts too. Then the chopsticks get used as "knife and fork" for cutting meat. My son got something stuck in his throat and the chop sticks became long reach tweezers.

Restaurants won't let you keep the silverware, but they hand out all the chopsticks you want. Then they get used as letter openers and general cooking utensils for stir fry, etc. Sheesh.

And forks and spoons were designed to be used before TV's were invented.
TV trays were designed to be folded up and put away, but I've several that have been set up for years in rooms with flatscreen TV's and others in rooms without TV's.

Chopsticks make great coffee stirrers!

I went in Tractor Supply yesterday. I was immediately struck that it smelled EXACTLY like Harbor Freight!

Crash, save your money on the battery powered oscillating saw. The corded one is a great deal at less than $20 but I don't trust HF old style batteries to last more than a season and replacements can be hard to find.

Also, those tree limb cutter things are widow makers and not very effective. You have to stand right under the branch to cut and the branch will naturally swing down on top of you as it cuts through. A little safer with two people standing to opposite sides but still not a terribly effective tool. There is a good reason you never see tree surgeons use them.

Thanks for the tip on the battery powered saw.
Don't plan on using lopper thing alone, will have a friend help. Some branches scratch on side of barn, sounds kind of like fingernails on a black board.

My sniffer must be out of calibration. What do these places "smell like"?

I smell dog and horse feed at TSC.. My HF smells pretty much like nothing. Now Kohls/JC Penny stink!
