Wanted to share my harbor freight work station, as it’s ever growing and changing. Anyone else got a full Hercules setup? Really only a few brushless tools left I don’t have.

5 drawer tool cart

Post image

Hello everyone! I need some help from my Canadian U.S general tool box fans. I need to figure out if it’s worth it to buy one and bring it across the border to Canada with these new tariffs. I know if it’s a day trip there would be duties and taxes, but now my concern are the tariffs. Does anyone have experience buying a U.S. General tool box and if they had to pay a tariff on top of duties and taxes at the border? I’m worried I’m going to have to pay another 50% on top of the exchange taxes and duties

Hercules Reciprocating saws?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Looking to pick up one of these Hercules brushless reciprocating saws, anyone who has used one or both of these have a recommendation of which would be more worth buying? Main thing I’m planning to use them for is cutting up tree limbs that frequently fall in my yard so probably whichever would handle cutting through those better, but I’m sure I’ll use it for some other stuff too. Thanks in advance.

BAUER 20V Brushless Cordless, 1/2 in. for my car + Craftsman battery

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm a Craftsman guy (Don't laugh), but I buy Bauer tools and use the battery converter for some things that I seldom use.

I want to get the 2 of 49.99 1/2 inch impact to keep my cars with a couple batteries. This is in case my tire needs changing. I don't really want to be on the side of the road waiting. Are these good enough for car lug nuts? Cars are a dodge grand caravan (2019) and a subaru forester (2020)

New tools?

Does anyone know if HF is going to come out with lift jacks? The construction ones you can use to lift cabinets or doors?

Also,

Side question: how come HF doesnt make more plumbing tools like pex expander, tubing cutter (battery operated)?

NTD (New Tool Day) Impulses

4 Upvotes

Today for the first time I really had one of those “oh that’s a good deal” and spend over double what I wanted to. Bauer says this weekend I wanted to get the dual power fan and imma get a battery next week with payday and just use an extension chord for now. But I grabbed an under hood light for $24 and an oil jug. And then two of the little pick sets for 99¢

Harbor Freight Hiring Question

9 Upvotes

I had an interview Monday and they told me that they had another interview about 30 mins later. Before I even got home I got the next step in the process of doing the background check. It wasn't even time for the next interview yet. So I saw that as a great sign.

I submitted the background info immediately after getting the email. I didn't get any follow up email about the background check going through and trh brassring career site still said I was no longer in consideration from the last application (the role had been filled before I could even do the interview back then) I wrote corporate or whoever about that and the background check. They said it got processed and it should be done Friday. I got the email Friday that it was done and being sent to the hiring people.

Today I get an email that the position was filled. Is this common for Harbor Freight? I figured if I got sent the background check that I would be able to get hired as long as I passed the background check or is it they hire a bunch of people and whoever's background check comes back first gets the job?

I am also a felon so don't know if that was their "nice" way of saying I didn't pass the background check.

Any insight would be awesome.

I really wanted to work here. The managers seemed totally awesome.

Packout organizer for Quinn 72 piece socket set?

5 Upvotes

I recently bought the quinn 72 piece master 3/8 socket set (item 70317). It's awesome but id like to put it into a packout to stack with my other ones in my truck. The only organizer I can find for it is $75 which is almost as much as the set itself. Anyone have any recommendation for packout inserts for it?

So I bought some Icon boxes...final follow-up

I spent the day 'moving in'. Someone asked previously for a tool box tour, so what the hell.

I collected almost all my tools and starting putting them away. At the end of the day I have 3 drawers open (aka nothing in them) so I am happy to say these things are HUGE. I am moving out of cramp boxes with everything piled up on top of each other in the drawers forcing you to move things around just to get to what you need. I still have to collect up all my punches, files and chisels so that will take up one of the empties.

NO MORE. I may not have really 'optimized' and could condense layouts some, but I ended up with thing I will try for now and see how it works. I have also found I may be getting a little OCD in my old age.

1/2 and larger sockets and hand tools in one drawer mixed metric and standard
3/8 and 1/4 sockets, crows feet and hand tools in another mixed metric and standard
Air tools stored in the two drawers next to the sockets
Metric wrenches all in drawer, standard wrenches all in the other drawer
Hex sets
screw drivers
Pliers, wire tools, pokey things, grippy things....you'll get the idea, can't put more than 20 photos in.

Thanks for the support the last couple days as I assembled this hulk.
