I wondered if maybe there was some oil or lube that was burning off since it was new, so I continued to use it for a few minutes without any change in it’s behavior. I unplugged it and set it aside.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Fright Tools
They are Quinn. No case. I’m going to spend a boatload on organizing stuff. The W163 mounts are no easier or quicker on a lift. If you’ve never done a set you wouldn’t know why. You have to get at them from the side, through the wheel wells, not the bottom. -D > On Jun 11, 2022, at 5:09 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Does that Quinn set come with any sort of case?

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Fright Tools
The "Quinn" tools should be (in theory) better than the "Pittsburgh" brand though I have no real complaints about the Pittsburgh stuff either, it's never let me down. I think HF tools are as good as/comparable to Craftsman these days. Maybe not as good as the OG Craftsman.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Fright Tools
I have shit piles of tools in a disorganized state; but I think I was to just stock in new tools in the new box from the start then sort out the rest of my tools later.

I already have a Craftsman roll-around box (top and bottom) that is ready to fill.
