Harbor Freight Tools

If you are a do it your self kind of person you will love Harbor Freight Tools. They sell everything from hand tool to power tools to generators, household items at low prices. Typically 30 to 50 percent cheaper than Home depot, Loews and Sears. Personally I have been shopping here over ten years .
Harbor Freight Tools all ways have weekly sales that can be found on there weekly flyer that can be mailed to you, in store or online. I addition wit there flyers are coupons that offer deeper discounts like free items and 25% discounts on any item in store that are found inside flyers or used online with your mobile phone.
They also lifetime warranty on specific hand tools and optional extended warranty on power tools and air tools. Service is ok. Meaning the staff is not going to walk up to you if you need help. You will need to flag some one down and they will help you or radio somebody if they cant.

Great place to get discount tools, especially starter sets when you are on a budget. Some items might not be great quality or some latches on the boxes of cheaper assembled tool kits.
Aside from that, I usually stock up on vinyl gloves, mechanics gloves, spring clamps, low profile jacks, magnet trays, moving dollys, shorter length extension cords and electrician screwdrivers. The mechanic sockets are sometimes just ok. The cheaper kit ones aren’t really worth it unless you’re just replacing a couple of sockets and it’s cheaper just getting the set.
Tip — sign up for their e-​mail promo’s for 20% discounts and a free tool along with a $ 4.99 purchase.

Lots of tools for a good price, but they make you wait in line forever to pay for them.

The toy store!
I live right by this location which makes it easy to pop in for all the freebies and constantly take advantage of the current 20 or 25% coupons. The pegboard in my garage looks like I’m about to open my own Harbor Freight from all the freebies and staples — ropes, tarps, tie-​downs, cable ties, wire wraps, etc.
If there’s a downside, and I won’t ding them for it, is I think they’ve made me a less organized person overall. When I want to do a project, I usually just stop and get everything instead of going home and looking for what need and already have.
Not many of their items are going to win any prizes for durability and longevity, but that’s not what it’s about, and then there are some real gems in there, too. My first $ 20 cordless drill lasted about 12 years before getting hinky and upgrading to the $ 25 one. That one will probably go past the life span of DeWalts et al (between the two drills) for $ 45 total. The generators are world class and I understand the floor jacks are the best selling in the world. And then there’s all the one-​off stuff you may or may not ever use a second time anyway. No real point in dissing fit and finish there.
My perspective is as a homeowner and hobbyist. I certainly wouldn’t get power tools from there if I were a contractor, but again they don’t get a ding because that’s not the philosophy of the place anyway. The hand tools, incidentally, are guaranteed for life, something I’ve only taken advantage of once over the years for something I pretty badly abused.
I’m going there right now!

Always a line in here slow service not another floor help

I have a few craft hobbies that require odd ball tools that are kinda hard to find from time to time. Harbor Freight has come through for me several times. They don’t have the name brands that Lowe’s and Home Depot are known for but they do have quality tools.
I mean come on where else can you find a 1 pound mini anvil?
