Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[MossRoad]

HF has become my tool rental solution since our downsize. I find it's cheaper to buy HF, use it, sell it, versus renting or hiring. It's also far easier to avoid becoming a tool hoarder with a HF tool in your hand :laughing:

My neighbor bought a Harbor Freight roofing nailer, used it to do his house, then sold it on Craig's list for what he paid for it new. :confused2:

Now I have a name for my problem. I am a tool hoarder. Step one is complete, I have admitted my problem. I made a stop at HF on Saturday, and I am currently waiting for deliveries from Snap On and Amazon.

Yes, good unit. I have one. Can't remember what I paid but $170 sounds cheap. Welded this railing with it.

Thanks! Are you doing the wrought iron look? I say "look" because you'll want to make the distinction when discussing with wrought iron guys.

If I am looking at your photo correctly, the top rail will be the same thing in your photo. I am going to have a buddy plasma cut a scene with deer and turkey for one rail and I am planning our last name in my Dads handwriting for the other rail. I have friend that build railing for commercial buildings for many years. He will do the welding. I am going to get pricing on powder coating and get some info color choices.

This is for a small cabin on our rural property that has been in the family since 1908. We have been working on the cabin for almost 1.5 years. The rails are the last step.
