Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I recently needed an impact to get the caliper brackets off of my truck for a brake job. the HF impact wobbles in metric were a like a gift from god at that moment. would recommend!

You can drive the roll pins out with a properly sized drift punch. I did this after buying a Speeco Cat 2 hitch for my New Holland then taking it back several years ago.

Yep, I've done this too, but I think California's talking about quickly switching implements among tractors. The adaptors do limit that if the tractors are set up differently. Their advantages though are reducing slop and wear on the hooks, and making it a bit easier to align and hook up with the QH. For me, anyway.

Not a tool but I got one of these to try, went back and got two more.
They where on sale last weekend should have gotten 3-4 more but didn't.
They work quite well.

Finally got the HF pallet jack. Ordinarily $269, down to $202 with today's 25% coupon. Usually the coupons are only good for stuff I don't want, or for nickel and dime stuff. This is the first time I got real savings. The exact same thing is sold under other names for $350 - $450. So this is a good deal.

Many thanks to TBN members who shared their recent positive experiences with this jack.

Thanks for the clarification Threepoint.

I have been baffled by all this discussion on QH bushings. I have a HF unit (8 years old) to use with Land Pride implements. I down loaded the LP QH manual to check out setting up my HF. Had to do some mods on the HF QH (lot of documentation on those problems here on TBN) and then bought the bushings that are listed in the LP manual for their QH and their implements. LP is all free download.

I have seen those stepped bushings but never figured out how to use them in my situation. I put bushings on all my implements to solve the problem of rooting in the dirt for them. I have no problems and keep them greased up.

Before buying the LP bushings I searched unsuccessful on the web for matching bushing stock to cut my own.

You can buy 2 bulb LED 4 ' lights all day long on Amazon for probably 5-7 dollars less per light. I bought a 4 pack for something like $89 .
Just saying. :thumbsup:

The LED lights are on sale for under $20 often, which puts them in line with sale prices from other places. Harbor Freight Tools Coupon Database - Free coupons, 25 percent off coupons, toolbox coupons - BRAUN 5000 LUMENS LED HANGING SHOP LIGHT

Prices keep dropping on these LED shop lights, and they are boosting lumens. Menards as similar 5000 lumen lights for under $15 now, regular price.
