Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freight Jack

I have two of them, the 1.5 ton "racing" jack, which has the nice long handle and decent height; and a removable-handle portable jack. I use the racing jack all the time for lifting the cars at home. I use the portable jack when anticipating a requirement while away from home, typically jacking m

[MBZ] Harbor Freight Jack

Anybody ever bought a Harbor Freight jack? I've got an older Craftsman floor jack, one thats literally a bottle jack on its side with a lever. It works fine but it really doesn't go high enough and the removable handle is a drag. I've been thinking I wanted a "real" floor jack for some time now.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor freight

I had a really nice old Sears/Milwaukee heavy-duty recip saw I had used a lot. When I was putting up my addition, I made the mistake of letting the crew use it to do some work as it was "there." Next time I went to use it the drive gear was all chewed up. No parts available now that I could

Some of their ratchets from years ago were crappy but they are fine now. Sockets are good, wrenches are good, the $20 sawzall is good, the impact wrench is good. I did have a star socket snap the tip off yesterday, going to take it back and see what happens Sent from my iPhone On May 29, 2011,

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freight Ads

I bought A/C gauges yesterday for $29.95 with a internet ad from HF and the manager did not look happy to see the price I brought in. There is no way to make a gauge set like that for that price without the China gov't help. There is just too much labor and material to go into a set like that. Ste
