I am looking at the one I built and I spent a little extra on some things but it's the equal to the $400-$500 ones and I have $200 in it. Router Tip: Get one that has the option to adjust the depth via a Allen wrench through the base. Eliminates a router lift for your table.

Full disclosure, I used to work at Harbor Freight at one of their stores. But even previous to that, I have been a customer for years. Not only are their inexpensive tools great for your wallet, in the past 2-3 years, their quality has begun to skyrocket. With their cordless tool brands like Hercules and Bauer, I've been seeing them show up in contractors tool bags and tool boxes more and more often. And to boot, the benefits of working at one of their locations are awesome. Not only do they offer competitive pay and insurance, but the work atmosphere and teamwork are top notch. I've made great friends through my time working with them. I can't say enough good things about them.

In a time and money crunch I got a $30 fixed base router. Been extremely surprised so far. Thing has worked well. Now, on the other hand, a miter saw given to me for a birthday gift from chicago electric (hf) has been an extreme disappointment. It doesnt cut straight and the motor casing is cracked. Im interested enough to start getting cheaper things there, but I wont trust them for big tool purchases, even if I am just beginning

@@JKSSubstandard admittedly, the Chicago Electric tools don't hold up well to any heavy use. Their chorded drill has served me pretty well for the amount that I use it, but their heat gun, chordless drill and jigsaw, and worklight have all failed on me. However, their Hercules and Bauer chordless tools are under lifetime warranty. Little more expensive, but the ability to return them to the store and walk out with a replacement for that tool in minutes is what you're paying for with that. But that's part of the big draw for HFT, because if you just have a single project that you need a drill for, but you don't have a lot of money, no point in having an $80 drill sitting in a drawer that you'll probably never use again. Think about cost/useage. If you're going to use it a lot, spend a little more to get a better quality one. Just need to drill 5 holes? Go with the cheapest garbage they have then return it to get your $20 back. I'm by no means advocating that Harbor Freight has the best quality tools on the market. But they have something to fit everyone's needs if they can afford it.

We buy a lot of their magnets, pick tools, wrenches have a lifetime warranty, dremel bits, retractable cord holders, disposable gloves, and yes, our work area is covered with those mats! Our main tools are Jet brand but if you need something to start with, there is nothing wrong with Harbor Freight tools!

I bought a 4x24 hand belt sander from HF and with the exception of the dust collection it works great. Had it for about 2 years.

A lot of people rag on harbor freight , but you can find some good deals on some tools everyone in a while . I had one just open where I live and that place gets packed inside . You just can’t beat some of their prices 👍

The best purchase I made from Harbor Freight was an auto-mechanic's creeper. I have a large crawl space in my house, and the creeper lets me move around in it quickly. With the creeper and an appliance dolly I can utilize the entire space to store large boxes/bins, and it's easy to get to everything.

I have also purchased the HF 10" Miter Saw. Not the most expensive, but works well. Suggestion, before going to town with the miter saw, do all the alignment and calibrations and you will have a decent miter saw. I've had mine for about 5 years now. Also I had purchased the HF 10 Drill press. I use that thing quite a bit and it does do what it's supposed to. I built a cabinet for it and then bolted it down, now I have a drill press stand with 2 drawers and it's working out great. I also purchase a lot of the HF router bits, and forstner bits. All work great. I have no complaints about any of HF''s products.

The 2 hp dust collector is a fabulous tool. I use it on my Sawstop PCS and 2 hp 8 in jointer. It has worked fantastic for both. I was able to get away with using a 25% coupon and walked out with it for 152.50 plus tax.

I bought and like one of their small strip Sanders and even though it's basic I bought and like their scroll saw. I often buy glue at harbor Freight and their sand paper collection is nice and less expensive than Lowe's.

The Center Drill Countersink Set is great if you have a drill press and want to drill a hole accurately, as they are much stiffer than normal drills, so they won't wander off. Once you get a hole started, you can switch to a larger drill size to finish drilling the hole as the hole is directly beneath the drill press chuck.

Great video! You got another subscriber. The idea with the movers' dolly is excellent. How they manage to sell it for less than the cost of the casters is beyond me, but when I need a set for something around the house, that is how I get mine.

Damn, you r correct! I'm a master repurposer and I can't believe I missed that the whole is cheaper than the casters alone. Headed to HB today, better put one on my list. Thank you.

I’ve got about a dozen of their welding magnets and a bunch of the locking welding clamps. Can’t complain about either. They also make relatively decent welding carts. Their pneumatic angle grinders are almost unstoppable. We have one that has been submerged in water during a couple floods, gotten to the point it needed help to spin up, once it’s spun up the first time it works like a dream after that.

I keep that stubby hammer in my electrical tool box. It works great when I'm running Romex through my attic to nail in the cable straps. The short size fits easily in my toolbox, it handles easily in tight spots when I'm between the rafters, and the short handle keeps the force light enough to avoid bending those thin brads.

I have used the wheels for a 4 x 8 assembly table and a thickness planer bench. I used old kitchen cabinets. I thought I would have to buy one locking wheel but a free wood wedge makes them not move. The free led flashlight is incredible. I get one every time I get something there. It is extremely bright and great to put in every drawer and glove box. Because I'm all about function over style I have attached it to my hat to get more handsfree direct light onto something. Thx this info was great and accurate.

My favorite purchase from Harbor Freight was their Heavy Duty Trailer. Also as far as their clamps, the aluminum bar clams are great as well I have a tendency to reach for those first when doing panel glue ups. Also I've had good luck with all of the welding supplies from there, helmets, gloves, aprons, also I bought a middle priced flux core welder from there and had alot of good luck.

I picked up their pocket hole jig kit as an alternative to the more expensive Kreg setup and it is probably one of my most-used tools from Harbor Freight. Simple yet solid construction.

@@SpecificLove7 Honestly, I think it is a little better built than the Kreg jig, too. It is in the same class as the Kreg K4 but with all metal construction and adjustable hole guides. I was able to improvise a dust collection port on it as well. Definitely worth looking into.

I like the pipe clamps. You have to go buy separate 3/4" ridged pipe, but I keep multiple lengths in my shop and just switch out the hardware for the length I need for a project. I also just bought a ryoba style pull saw for $10. It has a thicker blade than my good ryoba but it cuts straight.

Great videos all the way to the end. I use the apache models black cases . Different sizes for different needs. Sturdy enough to stand on to get the height above a machine. The blue tarps great for a quick cover or block the wind outside. Extendable magnets helpful for finding those little dropped parts. Plus many of the tools in your videos.

Dadgumit! You did it again! You should be over stage fright by now. 😁 When I go to HF and they ask me what I want, I say One of everything.. My HF chop saw and circular saw still work great even after 3 years, and, even if some of their tools only work once or twice before failing, I don't care. Its still cheaper than having all your craftsman tools stolen, ..or never returned.
