Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I'm sure it has been mentioned, but I like their Ti-Ni coated step drills when they go on sale. My wife now grabs and chucks them in my drill/driver to make holes in her flower pots and containers. One less honey-do now!

I知 gonna take a leap of faith and buy their 800 dollar pressure washer. I need a commercial duty unit, but prefer not to spend 2 thousand at the moment. I致e read the engines are Honda copies.

44�� PSI, 4.2 GPM, 13 HP (42�cc) Commercial Duty Pressure Washer CARB

I got one of them 13 H P's on my splitter with a 22 GMP pump and love it. The only thing I find is it has a cold cold hart in that it needs some choke unless it's real hot,this is not a complaint just the way it is a nice running engine.

I've destroyed a few of those with little to no effort. Meanwhile, I've had a regular Unibit (whoever made them) for many, many years that's still going strong. And they're always on sale. One of those perpetual coupon items we discussed a few pages back.

I've got the Northern Tool version of that one, been happy with it. I have no idea how they are getting different ratings on the same CC and same pump (from what it looks like) between the HF and NT version, but, I can tell you, it's got guts. Total different ball game compared to my old 2.5/3000 PSI washer.

AR doesn't even make a pump that's 4400 PSI. I suspect it's the same pump on the NT version that I have. Throws some water/power out there, that's for sure!

I used one bit for a couple dozen flowerpot holes. Now it won't cut any more.

Ceramic pots? I use these on soft materials whether metal or plastic. Even though they are advertised as HSS I don't treat them too harshly. This is my general rule for most all my HF stuff that I don't consider disposable.

Black plastic. Colored plastic. Decorative plastic flower pots that come without holes

Thanks for that.

Edit: I’m not sure the 20% off coupon works with this large of a purchase. So for the 850 plus tax...

I would rather have the other unit with the Genuine Honda GX and the CAT pump, but the price is double. Will it last twice as long? I don’t know.

Bought the Braun 4' LED shop light on sale with coupon for 19.95. Could not get the S hooks in the tiny little hole to hang it. Drilled it out and added another hole about 1/4" away on both ends to make the S hook work but have not hung it up yet on my 14' ceiling. Waiting for my brother to show up as I need to reroute air line.
