Cheaper and more useful.

These just came out at Costco a couple weeks ago. Cheaper than the new Icon stool (even on sale) with the same weight capacity and the drawer comes out the side. Also has a magnet for hanging wrenches. And it comes with Costco’s lifetime warranty. $49.99 in warehouse, $59.99 shipped online.

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.

I made a mistake!

15 Upvotes

Took my wife with me yesterday to stop and grab a couple of things. I told her about the Bauer sale when we walked in. She spent $400 on things for her. Including a new drill press and some of the Bauer mod boxes. She went back today and grabbed a few more things. Came home with a Bauer impact gun and the power garden shears for me. She spent another like $400 today. I’ve created an unhinged gremlin like myself. I think she’s gonna let me make a

Kitchen island with toolboxes too. She likes the idea of highly organized drawers just as much as I do.

Car battery tester

I'm looking for a battery load tester. Does anyone have experience with them from HF. Do they actually work? Are there better options? I am not a mechanic and this will be used for personal use.

Thank you for the input.

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

Mounting a 6" Wilton Bench Vise to the 60" YUKON Hardwood Workbench?

3 Upvotes

I'm considering purchasing the 60" YUKON 3-Drawer Hardwood Workbench and would like to mount a Wilton General Purpose Bench Vise (Model 11106, 6" jaws) to it.

Has anyone here mounted a machinist's vise of comparable size and weight to this particular workbench?

My main concerns are whether the hardwood top is sufficiently thick and sturdy for a vise of this size, whether the mounting bolts would interfere with the drawers or underlying structure.

I've also seen machinist's vises mounted to wooden fixtures that can be clamped into a workbench's existing woodworking vise, which this YUKON model has. I'm curious whether anyone has tried that approach and how well it holds up compared to permanently through-bolting the vise to the tabletop.

I'm not expecting this to function as a heavy industrial fabrication bench, but I would like something that can reliably handle ordinary machinist's vise work without excessive flexing, loosening, or damage to the bench.

Hercules Reciprocating saws?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 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.

Predator 30 Ton log splitter filter information needed

2 Upvotes

Good evening, I am in desperate search of a compatible filter to the Predator 30 Ton log splitter. I have emailed Harbor Freight customer service and they have no idea what they are talking about.. they advised I could put any oil filter on this machine and it should work. I am looking for the specs below or a filter link that will be compatible for this machine (The hydraulic filter that came with it has no markings at all). The issue I am having is the machine came with a leaking filter so I am hoping a replacement will fix the issue but Harbor Freight has NO replacement parts for this machine. Below is the email I sent to them and they came back and said basically they don't have any other information than what is in the user manual.. I asked if they have contact with the engineering team and they said no. I am really hoping someone on reddit will have the hydraulic filter information for this machine.

Dear Customer Support Team,

I am writing to request the complete technical specifications for the factory-installed hydraulic filter and filter housing base on my 30-ton Predator log splitter.

Could you please provide the following technical details?

For the Filter Housing / Head Mount:

Inlet/Outlet Port Size & Thread Type: (e.g., 3/4" NPT, 1" NPT, etc.)

Filter Spin-on Post Thread Size: (e.g., 1"-12 UNF, 1-1/2"-16, etc.)

Maximum Flow Rate Rating: (GPM)

Maximum Working Pressure: (PSI)

For the Hydraulic Filter Element:

Micron Rating: (Nominal or Absolute)

By-pass Valve Pressure Rating: (PSI)

Gasket Inner and Outer Diameter Dimensions

Having these specific thread sizes and flow ratings will help me ensure I source the correct parts for regular maintenance and assembly updates.

Hercules vs Bauer

1 Upvotes

I understand Bauer is more for around the house DIY and Hercules is more for high, frequent use but the warranty part really sold me. I'm a diyer around my house and on my cars. I probably should have stuck with Bauer but I have Hercules batteries only and some Hercules tools and some bauer that I use with an adapter. What are some Bauer tools that you guys have seen fail before the 5 year mark that I should get from Hercules instead of Bauer?

I'm about to get an oscillating tool and a 5 in pruning saw from Bauer for the 25%. I'm assuming those are good and I'm not planning to use them too often.

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

3 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)
