Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[sixdogs]

That reminds me - I have a "Pittsburgh" (HF) 15" adjustable wrench in the tractor "toolbox" dedicated for adjusting the top link. 15" Jumbo Adjustable Wrench

Due to the poor conditions, it is all rusty and terrible looking, but works great! I give the adjustment nut and sliding jaw a shot of Fluid Film occasionally to keep it limber.

I've got one similar to this 24" adjustable wrench for big bolts.
24 in. Adjustable Jumbo Wrench

Tight hitch ball? No problem and with a recent sale price of $19 and a 20% off coupon it's a steal at $15 and change. USA made would cost a king's ransom and only get used a few times over it's life. This is cheaper and works almost as well.

Anyone use one of the OBD II scanners? I need to look at a code in WRX and clear it now and then, until it gets tuned.

Dont know if they cover Subaru but I dont know why they wouldnt: Amazon.com: KONNWEI KW902 Mini Bluetooth Wireless OBD-II Car Auto Diagnostic Scan Tools(Black): Automotive


I bought one and it works on Android and WinPhone.. You can search for ones that work on Apple if you have an iPhone. I simply keep it plugged in all the time and turn it on when needed. Software to look at all the stats and info, read and clear codes, real time engine information (load, MPG, O2 sensors, RPMs, Fuel Trim, etc), dashboard, etc are available in the appropriate app stores.

Wheel bearing puller and installer.

FWD Front Wheel Bearing Adapters

Pulled and installed one bearing with no problem. Stripped the bolt thread and deformed the nut threads on the second pull.

I replaced the all-threaded 7 inch, 3/4 x 16 bolt with 6 and 7 inch grade 8 bolts, not all-threaded, and a coupling nut, then finished the job. I also bought a 6 inch all-threaded grade five 3/4 x 10 bolt (longest they had). I used it after breaking the bearing loose and for pressing in the new bearing so I wouldn't have to change bolts.

I wanted something to keep in the car, so got this with 20% off.

OBD II & CAN Professional Scan Tool

After I take it to the tuner I'll get a PC solution.

My initial thought was 'yikes' but the reviews sure seem solid.

Exactly my thoughts after reading the reviews, It's very much like Woodland Mills sawmill. I wouldn't be surprised if they are made side by side in the same chinese factory.

Does anyone have their 4 in. x 36 in. Belt/6 in. Disc Sander?

I was wanting their 1" model for sharpening knives, but have not seen the price drop and the 4" is cheaper.
