It's so awesome that harbor freight hooked you up! So many people hate on harbor freight tools but I myself love them. Over the past 7 years or so I've been getting all my tools from there and haven't been dissatisfied by any of the ones i use on a regular basis. Occasionally If I get a tool for a 1 time use I'll get the cheapest one, and it's not all that great but that's to be expected. I myself have been getting the "better" ones for regular use and have no complaints about any of the mid range tools I've got from there. I have almost the whole Bauer 20v brushless system of tools now and get a new one to add to my collection every few months when there is a sale or If I need that tool for a project I'm working on. At the very least Id recommend harbor freights mid range tools for any home owner that needs a tool for around their house.

Over the years Eric Smidt the founder of Harbor Freight has impressed me with his support of our schools, teachers and communities. I've bought a number of tools for dirty jobs that I thought would be just good enough to last through the one project or for folks to borrow and here we are over a decade later and the $9 angle grinder after years of fairly heavy use finally wore out while the $16 sawzall along with a number of other economical tools are still going strong. Their Marine Heat Shrink Tubing Assortment is a standard item in my shop and makes for a great water tight wire splice so great for repairs on more than just boats. Bought their least expensive 120 volt wire feed welder over a decade ago and its still works well welding beyond its MAX duty cycle building/repairing trailers, stitch welding auto-body and repairing/fabricating lawn/farm equipment. Not all of what they sell is from China either. The last time I check their Vulcan welding wire was from Italy (INE I believe) and their Aluminum Brazing from next door in Bradenton Florida. Great to see that they've reached out extending a helping hand to Allen while recovering from his ordeal.

Absolutely awesome of Harbor Freight helping you out with that gear! You'll VERY easily run 3.2mm rods and probably bigger too. BTW, without a grinder you could notch out a groove with that plasma cutter to fill where that crack is. That is some really handy equipment they've supplied. Maybe more rods will be needed but, it's a great start. One thing that bugs me with welders is the puny leads they supply them with. (EDIT ON THAT: They still aren't as long as I'd like but, they're longer leads now that I see them out than I expected so pretty good). Some good thick, fine stranded but really heavy duty ones can be fantastic to have. A mobile welder I used to use, home made tractor pack being powered by a V4 Wisconson (hand crank start, arghhh) and those sort of buttery soft heavy leads about a hundred feet long worked fine. There must have been some voltage drop but they worked great and for 3.2 rods with a 195 amp supply available you'd still have PLENTY of extra amps if needed and when working all over a site, (building a bloody great piggery in the case I'm thinking of) you'll easily compensate for that with that beast. That rev dropping while not under load, I've never used one with that but, I did see a very sweet (too small for welding though) Honda generator someone was using one day recently that varied it's revs with whatever load it was under and thought the same, a fantastic fuel AND eardrum saving feature they seem to have developed in more recent times.

I switched over to HFT years back when Sears went to the crap grade (IMHO) hand tools. A Craftsman tool would wear out or break and it was such a PITA to get a replacement- if they even made that tool anymore. With HFT, I take the tool in and Bam! Bobs your uncle. It's swapped out no hassles. They have even broken up sets to give me a replacement, something that Sears refused to do. I have had excellent luck with HFT tools. ( Although I do wish they still carried the Lynxx chainsaws. I love mine!) Kudos to HFT for helping support Allen.

Cool Harbor Freight. I’m waiting to see you using the plasma cutter. I have a air compressor like that and a friend doesn’t think it big enough for a plasma cutter to work. Just an opinion but your not going to get that ram to stop leaking for a long period of time until you do something about the pitting on the ram shaft. I had an old 4x4 pickup that used a ram for power steering and right were the centering was it had worn through the Crome finish and leaked. The seal kit were about $7.00 each so I would just replace it once a year. When they went to over $60.00 and probably about to be discontinued I looked into having it repaired. I found a place called Flame Spray and they could repair the shaft. Of course the whole ram was discontinued and it’s last price was over $600.00 and this was in the late 80’s.
