@ai6yr @paul_ipv6 @W6KME @intrepidhero Yeah, I've been surprised by Harbor Freight.
#HarborFreight has really have moved up to be competitive with the well known brands (and probably made on the same assembly lines in China). The Hercules and Icon lines of products are particularly good.
Of course there are always some losers…

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 #HarborFreight Tools for Schools prize for teaching excellence!
https://hftforschools.org/prize-for-teaching-excellence/2025-prize/
Just one winner from the northeast, and no New England representation past the finalist round (VT).
We'll be in the running next year, for sure!

I buy tools & hardware from #HarborFreight not because their prices are generally cheaper & include a lifetime guarantee, but because they don’t have #self-checkout.
It’s worth noting that simultaneously their prices are lower while having living, breathing cashiers.
Yeah-yeah, advocates claim that self-checkout is faster, lately I’ve seen lines waiting for a self check machine to be available. WTF?
Fook self-checkout.

All You Need To Make A Go-Kart, From Harbor Freight https://hackaday.com/2025/02/07/all-you-need-to-make-a-go-kart-from-harbor-freight/ #TransportationHacks #harborfreight #go-kart

Okay, I need to find whoever decided that bolts for this trailer's hitch plate should have a 16mm head, and a 17mm NUT on the bottom (you know, ehre it's hard to see). Took me 15 minutes to realize the sizes were different. Fortunately, got everything loose, but sheesh Harbor Freight Or Whomever, that was irritating.

I never really shopped at #HarborFreight before even though there’s one not too far from me, but since going there recently I’ve been quite interested to see what they have in stock and on sale. They have random shrapnel like LED flashlights, shop towels, flathead screwdrivers, tape measures and AA batteries for super cheap, like 99c. I’m absolutely NOT a handyman but some of this shit is making my wallet get a weird semi-on. https://www.harborfreight.com/coupons#DealsAlert

Well dang. Project today was to swap out the hitch on the old trailer and put a new plate on. YYyyyeah, that's not going to happen. That upper plate is compeltely shot. Ordered a new one from harborfreight. $16. Can't complain too much.

So, I bought this magnetic cup holder on sale at Harbor freight Tools the other day. It's a metal cup-holder with powerful magnets on the back so you can stick it to a metal workbench, toolbox, shelf, or other. Simple right. But the box it came in has this dire looking list of warnings, starting out with, "1. Wear ANSI approved safety goggles during use."

No, Harbor Freight is the USA's version of Princess Auto, which has been around since 1933. Harbor freight wasn't founded for another forty-odd years, in 1977. 😜

As any #mechanic can tell you, there are special tools that you pay far too much money for, and then there are "special" tools that you paid far too little money for. Thanks #HarborFreight!

Harbor Freight e-mailed me a coupon book chock-full of super aggressive #Christmas messaging so I unsubscribed. Hopefully they see a noticeable bump in quits and tone it down next year.
Let the #WarOnChristmas begin!

Here's a look at something that I created in 2021 when I had energy to burn on pandemic projects - setting up an #Icom #ID5100, a #RaspberryPi, and a #BioEnno battery in a #HarborFreight ammo can.
I designed and 3D printed a frame assembly that houses the radio body, a Pi Zero W, a watt meter, BioEnno battery, antenna, charging cables, headset, handheld mic, and all the associated shovels, rakes, and implements of destruction.
This year I'd like to do something similar for my #Yaesu #FT891
