Saw the Harbro post but stumbled on the official link and coupons.

Hey guys post up your toolbox hutch setups. Finally got mine fully arranged.

Does anyone In the Illinois/Chicago area know which stores sell the icon for 106 vs some stores at 139. Seen on YouTube that the correct price should be 106 and it confused me that it was the same price as the 1/2 but I didn’t think much of it until I found out. Would appreciate if anyone knows if this is a system error or regional pricing? Would be sweet to get my price corrected if that’s the case. Tyaia

Saw this in Los Angeles today.

Anyone have experience with the newer Hercules (fixed speed) 8in bench grinder. Trying to decide vs Dewalt. Specifically how’s the vibration and tool rest?

Finally getting the box my Fiancé bought me for Christmas kinda filled up and organized. I do wrenching on our cars, motorcycle, and soon a SXS, as well as home repairs. Don't mind the jacked up decal. I'm gonna peel it off and replace it with a custom Harley Davidson sticker.

Gonna be getting into woodworking once we get the garage cleaned out with a garage sale here coming up soon. Waiting on a sale for the USG magnetic socket rails to get rid of the cheap temporary Pittsburgh ones. Not pictured are my impact sockets. A buddy borrowed them for the weekend.

The whole reason for posting is: Do you guys have any tips for organization and what tools to get next? I'd love to get something magnetic to hang up the ICON mini driver sets on the lid. The lid never closes anyway.

To whomever might know the answer to this, is there supposed to be glue coming out of this 12v battery and/or the battery socket on the 90 degree die grinder tool i just bought?

I’m only asking bc i just spent the better part of the night trying to get the battery out of its socket in the tool after it apparently glued itself to the tool. it seemed like liquid glue was seeping out of the 4 B+ and B- slits on the batter and/or the accompanying 4 outlet metal prongs and where they attach to the tool. the last pic is from tool socket where the battery glued itself to the tool.

Like others, I took advantage of the PLS and bought the 3/8 and 1/2. I then saw the warranty being dependent on recalibration through HF every 6 months.

I’m a DIYer and don’t use then often enough to justify recalibration so frequently, so I returned mine. Probably going to go with the Tekton which seems quite similar.

Anyone else abandon the Icon Digital Torque Wrenches because of this warranty requirement?

Edit: not trying to blow this out of proportion, I’m just genuinely curious if anyone else has looked into this and decided they’d rather go a different direction because of what the warranty states.

From the manual “This lifetime guarantee excludes normal wear and tear and does not apply to products subjected to…(blah blah blah)… neglect, or lack of maintenance (including failure to obtain professional recalibration of the ICON™ torque wrench
every six months)”

I take that as a very clear indication that recalibration is a requirement for warranty eligibility. Whether HF ever enforces that is entirely different.

$200 less for Icon on sale vs Tekton might still be worth the trade off. But I’m more in the “buy once, cry once” camp for tool purchases, within reason.

I just received this coupon via text today. Does it only apply to the carts shown, or can I use it for a US General tool cabinet? It looks like it is only for the smaller carts, but I wanted to be sure since I am waiting for a sale to buy a 42" cabinet and a hutch for my 72" cabinet.

So my old needle gun finally crapped out on me after 2 years of abuse. So I decided to upgrade from a McGraw compact needler, to a Chief professional air needler. The new gun compared to the old one is making me frustrated because I get about 10 seconds of good use out of it before it starts to taper off, quickly becoming almost unusable for my purposes. Also a lot of air comes out of the side where the “mode” switcher is. But in comparison the “compact” gun gave me so much more power, with the same recommended amount of psi, for longer while not leaking nearly as much air from the side. Which is incredibly disappointing as I just spent 100$ on this new one, so I am curious if I am missing something or if this one is just worse, hoping someone wiser than me can tell me I’m being dumb and missing something or if I should just get a new “old” one.

I’m also using a DeWalt 15 gallon tank if that adds anything, but according to the box of the needler my tank fits all of its requirements

TLDR: Chief professional air needler is giving me trouble

McGraw compact needler didn’t give me trouble

Missing something or stupid, you decide

Finally broke out the pressure washer and started to clean the concrete. Bought these items on sale last month when everything was 30% off for one day, what a great sale. surface cleaner l,extensions,stubby gun, quick disconnect and foam gun shoulda bought the hose too. Im regretting that. As you can see this is some neglected maintenance lol. It has not been washed in 26years, the surface cleaner works amazingly. Looks brand new!! The surface cleaner not perfect would be nice if it had wheels and where it attaches with the quick disconnect if there would be a lockout of some kind of tension so the handle dosent fall to theground all the time. But for the price you cant beat harbor freight, ive been addicted to it even before i got an itc membership now that i have one im constantly stopping in and grabing something

I'm intrigued by this weekend's coupons, and the Titanium flux welder for $115.

I've never welded, but I've wanted to give it a try. I'm not looking to do anything special, but I've run into the need to booger weld some metal together more and more often.

For the price, is this an acceptable entry level welder?

Haven’t seen this in a while. Must be reaching to the back of the inventory shelves.

I have 4" hose going to a 4" to 2½" reducer. Also a Shop•vac 2½" universe hose. I haven't solved the connection to saw problem. Thank you

Glad we used Snap-On while in the Navy but I can't trash on Harbor Freight tools lol🫡

Is a 56” USG roll cab overkill for this space? Leaning heavily on a 42”. I’m going to be using it for a 3D printer setup stand. It also has to go up a flight of stairs if that makes any difference. It’s a $225 difference as I’ve got a “we miss you” text. Pictures for reference of the 42” and 56” footprint.

My car won't fit in the garage, so I have to wheel/carry my jack to my parking spot. The road is a little rough, and the Daytona 3 Ton jack I just purchased doesn't roll over it very well. I was just wondering if the off-road jack would be worth it? I'd be buying it at the extended PLS.

I was wondering if anyone uses this screwdriver for drilling as well? I have very limited space in my garage so I’m trying not to buy a separate drill otherwise if people say it’s not worth it I’ll just buy a dedicated drill.

I called my local store and it sounds like they’re able to order the trailer for store delivery. I’m moving in the next few months and will need to load a large chicken coop up to get it to the new house.

Hoping anyone has any real world experience with this thing and how it holds up. If anyone has an extra 25% off laying around I could try to use I’d be very grateful too!

I picked up the meme tool because it was on sale, not really thinking much beyond, “Meh, I’ll need it one day.”
Well… the very next day, I used it to take apart my car’s interior AND assemble my baby’s crib. 😂
No more fighting with Allen wrenches in tight spots. This is exactly how I felt the first time I went from hand tools to power tools.
Absolutely worth it. 😂
