Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Supposedly the side markers in the HF LED light kit are regular bulbs, not LED, and they are not waterproof.

eTrailer has a kit with waterproof LED tail lights, side markers, and harness with ground wire for $65.

Not to put too fine a point on it, why not just spend the $9.99 for the HF kit, a few $ more for LED replacement bulbs and waterproof the lights yourself with some sealer and save the other $35 for beer money.

And a larger LED submersible set for $45.00

Blazer International LED Trailer Light Kit, Model# C7421 | Trailer Light Kits| Northern Tool + Equipment

1. No ground wire.
2. No side marker light.

Looks like I'll use the stock harness, wire in the ground, and replace the lights with LEDs.

Last weekend I visited Rural King for the first time. Didn't see anything I really needed, but it was a huge store, much more stuff than TSC. Also drove by HF, and was driving an empty truck... Again, didn't know what I needed, so drove on by. This week I went back thru these posts, made a list of the things I might want to buy the next time I'm in this situation. So next time, I have a list of about $1000 of stuff to try. lol

Maybe $250 gift card and a 25% off coupon. Think I'd snag up a drill press, vise, and some misc handle tools with it.

Harbor Freight should be giving out the prize! How about a $5000 shopping spree?

Hey, I won 2nd prize last contest and still need to spend it all but willing to go for another one. LOL.
Mine was 2nd place for $50.00 US but being in Canada with exchange rate they swapped it for $75.00 Cdn.
I call that a win win!
I had opted for Wallmart card as they are in Canada and all others were in US.

Some of the prices have gone up over the years

I've been wanting to go back to HF for a tool box... co-worker has one, works well...

If I get the magic double post I'll get the #5000 prize! (Fingers crossed)
