Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Yes you do... but it is amazing how "common" sense is no longer common at all today....

+1..Guy is a vulgar mouthed idiot. Should be banned from You tube.

My favorite (tongue in cheek) of his 'comparisons' is where he takes a Bauer and another HF cordless drill and locks them together, chuck to chuck, one in forward one in reverse and with fully charged batteries proceeds to 'let the smoke out' and then curses about how poor the tool is. Common sense will tell you any motor with a locked rotor driving at full amps is gonna smoke pretty quick. What a dill rod.

Have to say I have those exact same 20 volt tools and I've yet to find the smoke, but then I exhibit some common sense.

I'm a Patreon supporter of AvE. A lot of his analysis is actually quite insightful. I really appreciate the fact he doesnt take any sponsorship. So many tool reviews & what not are just advertising shills that cant be trusted.

Well I've only seen two and they where both pure dee garbage, in my opinion I won't be seeing anymore.

From what I've seen of his video's, only a fool would sponsor his garbage mouth and 'winning ways'. I will say one thing for his video's and that is he don't play crappy music like most of the other 'video's'. Like many You-Tube video makers, he thinks he's a legend in his own mind. There are a few on here that fit that mold as well.

I watch You Tube purely for entertainment. Most of the stuff I see on there is loaded with mis-information.

I'm with Lou 100%.

>>> WATCH VERY CLOSELY DURING CHECKOUT!!! <<<

They had to re-do mine twice today because they kept screwing up. Rang a couple of items twice, then didn't scan a coupon.

Last time they missed a coupon too, but it was only for a few cents, so I didn't bother.

We usually get the same gal at our local HF and she's on the ball too.

Sadly, common sense is becoming a rare commodity. Kind of amazed that more people on here don't get injured doing the stuff they do (and get away with), with their tractors and implements. I read some of these threads and I scratch my head in wonderment and they post it for all to see too... amazing.

I agree.
Amazing some of the insane advice I have read here.
It's one thing to engage in risky and known dangerous activity.
It is another thing to hand out such advice to people of unknown mechanical skill level or experience.
Irresponsible in my opinion....

I think one needs to sift through several pieces of advice... especially when it's free. Even seeing one doctor is not always wise. Second opinions are almost always a good idea. And as 'they' say... there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Yeah he puts out some good info and is trying to be entertaining. Just over a million subscribers and approaching 1/4 billion video views I'd say he's doing something right. There are probably 1000's of tool reviews sites out there who consider unboxing a tool video content. Like you said, corporate shills or too afraid to get demonotized.

I've watched a fair amount of AvE's video's, some are very smart and very nifty, others not so much. I like the inventive language, I'm guilty of inventing words a lot, keeps me entertained and going when things might be down or frustrating... cussing doesn't bother me, I work and hang out with mechanics, AvE doesn't have anything on them... He's smarter than me, but there are things I know that he spread false information, don't remember off hand what it was...
