Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[Rock Crawler]

My father has 13 apartments, he's borrowed my Lynxx pole saw and Lynxx chain saw for the last week and is doing his fall clean up. He's very impressed with both of the tools and the amazing battery life. I can't recommend them enough. What a great occasional use home owner grade for a very fair price. The power and battery performance both excel far beyond what a person expects for around $150.

I bought the Lynx 40 volt pole saw and blower a few weeks back and very happy with both. Waiting for a good sale on the chain saw.

The current $149.99 is as low as its ever been so far as I'm aware. The current coupon expires November 3.

Thanks much for the coupon. I’m going to Houston tomorrow so, need to stop at HF too.

The lynx pole saw gave me excellent service during the Hurricane in Wilmington. Used it a lot never got below 1/2 charge.

... Until the pressure switch quits. I had to replace mine after a few years because it wouldn't shut off.

I found HF's 125 psi pressure switch is generic and widely sold on Ebay, so it was simple to get the compressor repaired and back in use.

Good to know...thanks.

I bought one of those on sale with coupon a couple months ago after reading reviews here. So far so good.

Yeah, typical of HF. I got a set of these fog lights for my truck a while back. Got maybe 2 months out of the el-crap-o bulbs it came with. Replaced 'em with real bulbs and it's been fine ever since. Certainly not top of the line but comparable to ones costing twice as much at Walmart or the auto parts store.

I know that this is a Harbor Freight based post, I think that maybe we should discuss Rural King and when Royal King make sense to shop at instead of Harbor Freight.

I'm looking at buying a 72" tool box base and a 54"-60" upper box. The 72" base is $150 less at RK than HF on coupon. So $849 every day, normal price, just because they love me that stinking much.

PS; RK has the 4 drawer roller chest for $99, every dang day and twice on Sundays. The only thing different that I see is that the RK version doesn't have the pistons lifting the lid, you lift and it has an old school prop hinge.

RK has Fluid Film. (Mic drop)

RK has those pressure regulators that go bad on HF compressors.

RK gets mentioned here from time to time, but they're only a regional chain whereas HF is pretty much coast to coast.

Yup, exactly.
