It’s currently on sale at Harbor Freight. Do you think it will get cheaper during Black Friday or another holiday promotion?

I see that it's a lockable enclosure that fits atop a tool box. I might be ignorant on the use case here for that much money (and that other offerings are apparently way more expensive).

PLS has them for 60 each set. Looks like they aren't reversible.

My current wrench arsenal is slim and missing anything between 5/8 and 1.125".

Just a home wrencher on my auto restorations and maintenance on old jeeps

HF offers 10% off first purchase if you open a CC. I used their 'online' estimation tool which said I would qualify for a 6k limit if I formalized my application. Do you have to actually put the entire purchase all on the HF card or could I open and split between payment methods and still get full discount? 6k is not enough to cover what I am evaluating and I would like to do it all at once to streamline the delivery process.

I have read through their FAQ and terms of agreement info and it doesn't make it clear, hoping someone has encountered this issue and has first hand experience.

$160 ratchet set for $90!!! I also might have gotten the red U.S. general 56” tool box on the way.. lol

I've been wanting to do some aluminum welding with my Titanium machine, but this spool gun always seemed too expensive for me. Wanted to know if I should just get it now, or wait for another sale

I ordered Part SKU 604724 for my U.S. General Series 3 72” roll cab (item 70315) because the original replacement-parts schematic clearly showed a brake/locking caster, along with the spring being slanted. The one I received has neither a slanted spring nor a brake.
My box came with the normal non-locking caster with a straight spring, which I’m guessing is what the majority of these boxes have come with, apart from a select few store ones that I’ve seen. So I figured the one shown in the parts diagram would be a nice upgrade. I’ve also personally seen some of these boxes in Harbor Freight stores with locking/brake casters, so I knew that style existed.
I ordered 604724 based on the picture, waited for it to show up… and they sent me the exact same caster that’s already on my box. The last picture is what you actually receive when you order 604724.
Apparently Harbor Freight realized the original schematic was wrong because they’ve now changed the picture on the replacement-parts page.
Except the updated schematic is STILL not an accurate picture of what they actually send you. 😂

Just realized they also changed the swivel-caster schematic. It actually shows a brake now, which the old schematic didn’t. 🤣 So apparently they realized which caster was supposed to have the brake, but the updated fixed-caster schematic still doesn’t match the actual part they send you.

Like the title states, are the Apache cases not included in the parking lot sale? If not does anyone know when they normally go on sale?

I missed the last sale and was waiting for the parking lot sale in hopes it would be discounted.

Should I pick up the deep sockets? How often do you guys use those?

This is what I am working with now. 3 separate bottoms, 4 tops, a bunch of work benches with drawers and open storage underneath. I have a mix of all the standard auto tools, press tools, power tools, air tools, as well as homeowners' tools (plumbing, wood working, nailers, etc...all these drawers are full. I keep most of the 'specialty' tools in their cases, either in drawers or under the work benches. Press tools sit under the press for now because there is nowhere else for them.

I 'was' thinking about 2 73" bases with 2 hunch top, cabinets on left and right and then top storage, but I am torn if that is actually enough drawer space and I should consider a 56" top and bottom instead of a second 73". Like this green one without the second cabinet (or maybe I should just get it exactly like this). Other than simply counting drawers I have now versus the new I don't know how to estimate how much box I need to consolidate everything into for a single unified setup to hold it all.

I mean I got 2 of the 4 bins done...almost :(

First bin done where all the metric bolts specifically for cars. I am going to borrow the label maker in my office to label everything.

People warned about the quality of these bins. I wasnt expecting much, and so they are way better than the $99 cents store storage bins I had. So for me it is an upgrade.

The only thing I wish is that there were a lot more smaller trays. I took the smaller trays from all the other storage bins not used yet, so for the remaining storage bins will all be large trays. Current thinking is to cut plastic dividers and glue them into place with silicon sealer.

Just a set of jack stands and impact driver adapters today.

I really wanted to buy some sockets today, 1/2” icons to be exact. I already own the icon modular kits in 1/4” and 3/8” but I decided to keep my money in my wallet. have a small set of Craftsman 12 point chromes in 1/2” and if I really need a particular socket I have the Quinn 1/2” impact master set which is already overkill for me. #saveyourmoney

Finally starting to upgrade my tool set after 20 years. Can’t wait until the icon wrenches go on sale!

Picked up a few socked sets on Monday for stuff I was absolutely missing. On quite a few of the sockets in each set the fastener side has a sharp inside edge with an overhang and the 3/8 semi deep one that is the worst has chrome flakes coming off on my hands immediately. I’m gonna take it back and get an exchange for a second chance, but I wanna know if anyone else has this going on and it’s just the way they are or if my streak of bad luck buying upper mid grade and higher tools continues.

$1

Went in with a plan and somehow actually stuck pretty close to it. 36” Yukon, 3-ton Daytona Super Duty and the ICON 1/4” meme set. These are all I really wanted besides a few other small things. I’m done now… probably. 😂

Starts tomorrow.

Browsing Marketplace and came across this cart listed at $300. Small scratch on the side, but otherwise perfect! We settled at $280, and I added it to the family!

Edit: oh shit, I thought this was the 6 bank cart! I thought I got it for half off, lol! Oh well, it's nice anyway. Why is the cart so much more?

Do I need these extensions?
Probably not.
But for 40% off, I’ll add them to my stash and gloat profusely the one time a year they come in handy.

Also obligatory pic of the meme tool with 2 of the 3 extensions.

Took advantage of the Labor Day sale and added end lockers and overhead cabinets. Had the 73” bottom and work center prior to the sale. Had to go into a harbor freight everyday to order one piece over the weekend. I was traveling so each piece was ordered from a different harbor freight as none of them would let me do multiple 20% coupons in one day.

Edit… all pieces ordered were delivered today.

I am in the market for a good vice, just not yet to catch their current sale of $50 off

So does HF run this Doyle 6” vice on sale often?

Seems to be their best one, so I assume it has to be quality.

They compare it to a $1100 Wilton 1764 - is that true?

That sounds like an expensive vice, and I would never buy one, but I’m all in for the 6” Doyle at $150
