I picked one up last night and used it a bit today. It's pretty good. Produces a decent quality weld. And, yep, I'm only using 1/16 and 3/32 rods. Did a nice job on some 3/16" flat stock, repairing a knock down steel .22 target that had been shot off it's base because a guest thought .223 counted as a "22".

Why does HF's website show that Bigfoot Hand Truck as 'clearance'? Likely to replace it with one similar with a new brand name at double the price. Buy it while you can!
700 Lbs. Capacity Bigfoot Hand Truck
Those are excellent. I've thought about pulling mine as a trailer for harvest ladders in the orchard.
One weakness, on mine the tires won't hold pressure indefinitely.
And for anybody who doesn't already have one, or several: The 12 x 18 hardwood dolly.
Not the larger one or the similar size all plastic one. I watched a couple of pro piano movers use one like this for a 600 lb upright Steinway and it was all they needed. Balance the object on the dolly and away they went. I used mine endlessly clearing out Mom's estate - cartons of books, furniture, garden pots, everything. It was even more useful than the big blue hand truck. Now I use them under 85 lb bins of apples and my welder is on one.
Yup. I have to put air in those tires about twice a year. For what it cost, I can't complain about that. My Kia cost a lot more than that, and I have to maintain air pressure in those tires as well.
As for the dollies, I've used those to move several pianos over the last 10 years or so. As a "retired" piano mover (I keep saying that, yet people keep talking me into it), I very much approve of them. One of the better HF products for sure.

Drywall lift worked fine for me, had a job where they were all 10' ceilings and made life a whole lot easier.

Just bought the 5 drawer tool cabinet for $169 and the McGraw 20 gal oil lube air compressor for $169.
I donated my used 8 gal central pneumatic compressor to my son which is still going strong after 6 yrs.
I have the Harbor Freight app on my phone which has eliminated the need to carry coupons or use emails.

Could you take a screen shot of the app icon? I looked on the apple store and found nothing.

I don't have an Apple phone so couldn't say if there is an app for that.

On your pc search 'hf coupon database'. There are pc and android versions, I don't see apple mentioned.
This is the site for any recent and still valid coupon. Not hosted by hf but rather by a third party.
Often better prices than the coupons that hf emails to you.
