Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

RC, based on your pictures a rolling tool chest will be of little help!

The rolling aspect of it is meaningless to me, if that is what you're hinting at. But the taller up and down drawers, deeper front to back, and wider with just flat out massively more overall space will be huge.

Many of the drawers on my blue Craftsman boxes are 1.5" tall, that really screws me.

You don't need more space,you need an intervention...:laughing:

Bought a wire brush set the other day that came with a crimped brush and twisted brush to fit a 4-1/2" grinder. Have only used the crimped one so far but was very impressed with how well the wires stayed in the cup. Last time I used something like this the wires would come out and stick all in you.

Maybe it's inconsistent quality control, but I have those brushes and may I say to be careful. The wires flew out of them without warning. Wear goggles and guard your face, etc. I've had them stick in my face and fingers. Very painful.

Eye protection... can't say it enough. Had a few close calls before I wised up. Now it is automatic for me when in the shop.

AMEN to THAT, Dragoneggs.!!! Now that I work from home, its automatic..
The glasses go on, before the wheel starts spinning..!!!
I work w/ mostly aluminum so I had to change my wheel from the git-go..
I've had the new one for about 1 year & it still have about another year left in it..
I wish/hope I can remember where I got it..

Yeah, I'm leery about using cheap wire brushes, cutoff wheels, grinding discs, etc that could cause serious body pain if they come apart while in use. IMHO it pays to get good ones for something like that.

The floor jacks appear to be good to go, at least in the short term. I bought it a couple months back and have used it a handful of times. No leak down, fast unloaded rise, controlled descent. So fast im very pleased.

I think I posted a while back that HF has a pretty good deluxe face shield. Glad I bought one and I make sure and use it. I store the face shield over the grinder so it can't be forgotten.
