Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Not sure if this magnetic tool holder has been mentioned. http://www.hfqpdb.com/coupons/28_FREE_18__MAGNETIC_TOOL_HOLDER_1485540427.9788.jpg I have half a dozen of them and use them all over the place. I even have one in my kitchen as a wall mounted knife rack. They are great for keeping wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers etc etc within easy reach and aren't as fussy to use as dedicated slots.

I keep about 4 of them scattered around the shops with a 5' or so length of cord tied to one end. They are great for getting that screw or nail I dropped which bounced or rolled under something.

I'm not close enough to stop there often to get the free stuff. Only got a couple free things so far.

This is a great idea. You could zip tie one to a rake and use it to comb an area with loose nails, like after a roofing job.

Good idea!

I have a spare one around here somewhere. I think I will try attaching it to the top of my shop push broom with a couple of wood screws so I can flip the broom over to use the magnet for hunting lost parts.

Yea, especially the free items. What's a guy to do with 50 flashlights? :laughing:

I took 35 of them with me, to give away in Cuba.

One item I'd put on the sucks list is the plastic ammo box. Ammo Box
My boxes don't say Bunker Hill but I bought two to put on the back of my homemade rear blade that I scrape my gravel road with. In one I put my tools and bolts for shear bolt replacement and the other holds chains and hooks to pull out the neighbors out of the ditch.

They leak. I'm not sure how the snow gets in but it does and my tools get wet.

I picked up a 20 ton air bottle jack, guess I'll see how well it works soon.
