5 HARBOR FREIGHT Tools Every Man Should Own

[@Sleepdroidstudios]

I just can't express how nice it is to watch videos that are done in one take/ one cut. It is mind numbing to watch some of the KZbin channels out there that have to put in a cut after almost every single sentence. I know of one project/construction channel where she is obviously reading from a script and has to make a fresh cut after, literally, every sentence. Wow, is it distracting. Zero natural flow. Thanks again for your efforts Cody. They are appreciated.

[@charlesmackiewicz]

He does a good job

[@WunTu92]

Absolutely. Some of the vloggers and youtubers jump cut in mid sentence every time they can't think of a word. Some people have 0 conversational skills. He also talks like he's talking to us, and not a camera. And that helps.

[@ruudxd1]

April Wilkerson?

[@SemperFiSupplies]

There is one particular boat building project that I enjoy watching but the mid sentence cuts are very distracting.

[@shopnwoods9901]

I like the Harbor Freight videos more than the Amazon ones. Thanks

[@agestam]

I admit, I don't always listen to your stories. But when I do, I regret that I don't always listen to them.

I really enjoy how in touch you are. As a 20 year old man I find that you can keep up with our generation and are open minded enough to see the value in our generations pass times and careers. When most people your age and cut from a cloth like yours would probably look down on the idea of being a KZbin as a career you decided to embrace it and that’s so cool. I’ve been watching for a long time quite a few years now, I look forward to watching you for years to come. God Bless

Interesting to see the evolution of harbour freight. Looking forward to more tests of their tools

[@paynectygardener2033]

Having some relatives who were very serious hunters and storytellers, I really appreciate his tale at end of this video on totally different subject at start. Please keep stories coming!!

[@ObvStar48]

I remember my grandfather would get coupons from Harbor Freight, and he would call me over to drive him to the store so we could buy him new tools every other week. I think he has about 4 or 5 drawers full of them.

My grandfather loved HF too. He always had the coupons laying around. Now all u have to do is google it and u have an instant coupon

Thanks for your West Coast wisdom! I retired after 29 years with the Air Force lived 12 years in Louisiana, 2 years on the coast of New Hampshire followed by 5 years in Germany. Finally moved to central Georgia in 91 to present, never considered myself an East Coast kind of guy. My entire working life was spent in the entertainment field. We rigged thousands of pounds over head of both lighting and audio. The idea of a "soft shackle" scares the daylights out of me. Now you you did say " used in the right application" ......but.....

[@richslaughter1085]

Hey, just wanted to say how great it is having a trustworthy page to help give some guidance.

Hey Cody! In regard to the 'winch out' story....Pilots have a phrase for the planning of excursions...ALWAYS! Leave yourself an "OUT"! Also, there is the old adage of the six 'P"s...Pee poor planning precludes proper performance. Of course this goes with the most "useless" things to a pilot, as well... 1) altitude above you. 2) runway behind you. 3) airspeed you do not have. 4) fuel you did NOT put on. Kindest regards, Ken

Honestly, their stuff isn't that bad. You know what to expect. For me, they have replaced the old Sears.
