I went to harbor freight to get a 3in hole saw. i spent 971 dollars...






















BUT

I have been eyeing up the tool boxes for a while. the tools i need for this job keep growing in both size and quantity and are getting heavy. plus i have to wheel my box all over the plant. so the little guy i bought when i started was not cutting it much.

bought this set up except instead of the side cabinet i just got a side table. if needed i can always add a side cabinet.




but....i forgot the 3in hole saw

I think there is a mix of both. i have broken a couple harbor fright tools on their 1st use. but some of their stuff i have had for a long time and now days it gets used daily.

imo anything that needs a bit of force, like your bigger wrench's, air tools, or pry bars, are not wroth it. little tools to do little jobs aren't bad.



i cracked a crow bar on the 1st use.

I saw they got the 12k winches for $300. Might have to break down and buy one

note what i just said. i wouldn't trust pulling out a jeep with one of their products.

may be a good way to get dead

I'm with Sam, you just have to be careful.

I wanted a small drill bit set that was on sale for setting up a cordless drill set in the RV and some Phillips screw driver bits. Nothing crazy, just stuff to make general repairs a little easier at the campsite.

I do like the little 2.99 led work lights, nice to have in the garage/rv/car to see better.

I get a free screwdriver set/tape measure/meter when I buy anything there.

if it's something I need on a regular basis, I don't buy HF.

if it's something I need to last one job, or may use once a year, it's fine.

except tubing flares. buy the good stuff, because those suck balls.

I really want one of those bench vise style brake flaring tools with the turret style die. Those look pimptastic.

I'd put one of their winches on my trailer...

Thanks to OEM Sean R, and a plethora of cordless drills now, I set up a small kit for the RV.

I had one once, my XRC-8 pulls better than it.

but they are probably both from the same Chinese factory

very likely.

I see that the new badlands winches are advertising a 6HP series wound motor.

so they probably start selling the new hotness after they built all the smittybuilt ones.
