It's a good buy. One of the Techinicians at work has one.
Interestingly, Snap-On has the same exact cart but their's is blue (Blue Point) and their's says Snap-On on the front. It's 300 bucks.:confused2:
Must be the Snap-On name........
HA HA Just think how much that chest would cost if it were painted green !!! LOL

most store will let you use the 20% off on the toolcarts (as long as you are only using 1 coupon), if you argue and show that it is a tool cart, not a tool chest.

Another great tool at a great price is the HF refrigerated air dryer. Half the price of the IR unit with comparable specs. Never on sale however. HF knows it's a winner.
I'm sure they do, but for how long or how well? That's another question.
Lowe's runs a special on 6HP 12 Gal shop vac's for $29 every Thanksgiving and usually a couple other times during the year. HD will price match on identical items, so if Lowe's is out, head "next door"

I got mine on sale via internet sales but it arrived beat up in transit and so they sent me another one. Works fine.
I installed conventionally but... Why couldn't a dryer like this be installed in the input side of the compressor? That would reduce the condensate quantity and maybe extend the life of the air tank. Also there would be no pressure on the heat exchanger as the air going in would not be compressed beyond ambient (1 atmosphere)
If the compressor input would "starve" for air then install a small "accumulator" tank between the dryer and the input to the compressor to average out the flow.

As I understand it, the water in the compressed air actually comes as a result of compressing the air. I imagine that a drier on the intake side would either have to be designed completely different or it would not be effective.

I have not read this whole thread so please forgive me if I duplicate but,
The HF Tube Roller machine is dam stout, works well. I would buy it
again. I was surprised.
I have only used it on .5" square but it worked really well. I am sure it
performs as well on much larger material. I bought mine less stand.
Additionally Troy at SwagOffroad makes some rollers and other parts to fit
the HF Tube Roller. Troy makes GREAT stuff. Check out his site, he has other stuff I do believe that enhances other Harbor Frieght tools as well. Be sure to tell troy "Artisan" sent you.
