The BEST EDC Gear at Harbor Freight Tools 2024 Update

[@Plasmahauler]

Best part about ICON imo is the lifetime warranty, no questions asked.

[@theglowcloud2215]

ICON and Hercules are probably the only two brands I feel confident in buying at HF.

[@foxbritten]

I don’t think it’s accurate to say if you shop at Harbor Freight you know what you’re doing. As someone that shops there for a tool on occasion, I don’t know. I’m just trying to find a tool I can afford. It’s usually something cheaper that doesn’t last as long but that’s ok because it’s something that you’re only going to use a few times. Also that curved tip really fits the hand 😂

[@arturotorres6437]

Came to the comments to figure out what he meant. I have no clue what he meant by that phrase....

[@humanbeanchikin]

The knife

[@egbluesuede1220]

you should have warranted out your busted icon ratchet. Just hand it to them and they hand you a new one back.

[@T-Mo_]

12:40 lifetime warranty on it. Can take it to store and they'll replace the bad part.

[@WesleyDropDead]

I’m late on this comment but I second this! The exact same thing happened to me and they swapped out the entire kit for me no questions asked.

[@g.dilla.]

At least with the Gordon multitool they waited for the Leatherman Wave patent to expire.

[@lordquenntillieusiii9250]

They are also far from the first to copy that

[@humptyshots6177]

Exactly, once the patent has expired it's free game. That's Capitalism.

[@John.Buettner]

They should call it a pleatherman!

[@PaladinsLight]

havent been to your channel for awhile and dang dood u look great, loss alot of weight and got swole. good for u man, ppl like u motivate me in the gym.

[@donotrobme9295]

Love the vid. Only thing I’d disagree with is that coast is a cheap flashlight. Many tool trucks I buy from sell coast and streamlight. Both great. Coast usually a little Cheaper in price and their warranty is just hand the truck a new one and they give u a new one. Streamlight gets sent off. Frustrating. Then they fix it. I switched to coast over steam light. Highly recommend

[@bretlagasse3560]

I do know this is for Harbor Freight findings, just offering insight on it: For the Icon Bit kit, they have one with sockets coming out soon. it's the same manufacturer that makes the Facom and Craftsman version, but $60 cheaper. The Wiha set is $30 and one that's comparible in price for what you get. But the Wiha ratchet is doesn't have the option of extending the handle. that's the biggest upside of the Icon. Tone has one on Amazon for similar price at $40. The bit quality isn't bad. I swapped out bits I never use, in favor of my Wiha and Wera bits. So now I can carry that kit everywhere.

[@greasemonkey060]

As a metal fabricator I’ve been carrying the Braun light everyday for over a year. They’re cheap enough as is yet they’re under a 90 day warranty if they crap out or if you run them through the washing machine

[@ReapersKnivesandMore]

Hey, Did you know their are Washers on the Gordon multitool. They're on either side of the outside tools and the pliers. Imo that gives a slight edge over the wave.

[@TCCBLADES]

The "Mini" saw on the file is a hacksaw... Surprised no one picked up on that.

[@iphone1027]

They have the washers on both sides vs the wave that has it only one one side of the pivot joints.

[@firearmssanctuary2448]

i still carry and use my Gerber EAB the original rectangle one from before the EAB lite with the curved frame. still works like a champ.

Maxlvledc has a great video about the Gordon Leatherman tool. He also has a video where he disassembled it

[@BruceAllgire]

Seeing the Blue silicone flexible parts (valet) tray in the opener reminded me - At Harbor Freight, buying all three sizes would total about $42 at the time of this post (without coupons or sale). Anyone in the Midwest may already know that Menards has all three in a combined set of all three sizes for less than $20. I got a couple extra sets a couple weeks ago while they were on sale for under $14 each set to give away. Of course, you'd have to like them in the Menards dark green color. 😜. Love the channel though, so let's do the dang thing. Edit - just checked the price - currently sale price at $13.99 before their 11% rebate.

[@ArizonaEDC]

That’s a good deal! Shipping to AZ is $11 so still under $30 for all 3 trays not too bad. Thanks for the heads up!!!

[@Whiteys_knife_obsession]

Thanks for the info! That's a way better deal

[@thetoolwatch]

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve wanted to pick some up for a while, and that’s a fantastic deal.

[@brandonroberts5153]

Thanks for the tip! I bought the blue trays after I saw this video then I saw your comment and had to go get the Menards version for the big tray. Now I've got a couple spares! Such a great price for all three.

[@grantbaker6430]

Usually when Harbor Freight comes out with a copy cat product, its because they came from the same factory in China as the name brand.

[@greasemonkeymechanic1]

leatherman I'm pretty sure is still made in the usa

[@reneantunez1998]

Its true to an extent i guess if you look at the daytona jack lift they copied the snap on one. They ordered the jack lift from the same manufacturer as snap on and they even tried sueing harbor frieght but ended up with a draw in the lawsuit ​@@HelplessTeno

[@DDnight546]

In fact, the only products people care are either copying snap-on or knipex, and one is made in US another is made in Germany. So I really don't know what you are talking about. And btw, most ICON tool is made in Taiwan, not China.

The Icon IK24 knife is without a doubt the best $40 folder I’ve ever had. I always carry multiple knives for specific reasons like mostly Kershaw or CRKT main knives with a couple purpose driven ones and I’m amazed to say that this knife has made the main blade in my EDC. It’s even became the main blade of three of my coworkers. I’ve gotta say it’s the best cheap knife I’ve ever bought. If anyone has any recommendations for a utility knife I’m open to suggestions. I prefer folders without a retractable blade. A quick release is preferred. On the flashlight section I would recommend that people on a budget went with any Kodiak light or a Klein Tools inspection light. I have several Coast lights and lanterns and their brightness levels leave a lot to be desired

[@jeremiahramos5526]

At 21:13 you say you could never support Harborfreight, yet you certainly have by giving them money for the items you have shown in this video. Not to mention you are also making a pretty dam good video advertisement for them showing off all the “good edc items” they have. Which will inevitably lead a few people to go make purchases from there. So in fact you really are supporting them. Just as I am supporting your creation of this video by commenting on it and interacting with the algorithm. Which is why I actually decided to even speak about what you said because I duck with this channel and you! Just thought I’d call that to your attention, and also boost the algo. Have a good day and keep giving us such awesome content.

[@BestDamnEDC]

I guess to elaborate on what I meant is that, yes, buying the knife and multi-tool is directly supporting them by putting cash in their proverbial pocket but, on the other hand, I do not condone what they do. I've remained staunchly against brands that rip off designs from the very beginning.

[@jeremiahramos5526]

@@BestDamnEDC I see. Yeah I know you’ve always stood against knock off brands and those who rip off other peoples designs. I agree with you on that 100%. I wasn’t “calling you out” in anyways shape or form. I literally only even said what I said because it was a thought I had, and it gave me a chance to interact with the video and boost its place in the algorithm. Btw I’m geeked that you actually responded to my comment. I can’t wait to run into you at a show or something. lol. When I do excuse the low key star struck teenage girl that may pop its head out, so to speak, at first. lol. I’ve been watching your videos for years and really take your advice and guidance to heart when looking for or thinking of purchasing some new thing. I legit search “best dam edc …” and enter whatever I’m thinking if buying to see if you’ve reviewed it or have a video on it at all. Ive never been steered wrong when following your advice on gear. So keep bringing em to us and we’ll keep watching.

[@behindthespotlight7983]

7:10 tbh those Braun lights are not only brighter than their Coast counterparts, more importantly they’re sturdier. I refuse to pay high dollar for job site tools that tend to “disappear.” Having used both for several years my money is on Braun.

[@tdata545]

Those magnetic Braun swivel lights are AMAZING at Harbor Freight. GREAT LENS on them that perfectly casts a wide beam and are silly bright with good CRI. I have all the color options. They're easily my favorite. As for HOOK BLADES, Lowe's carries IRWIN branded ones, since some mor on bought them thinking they were normal utility blades. So... Stuck with a bunch of HOOK blades.

[@Beercheesesoup]

The Mac knife was an Almar sere. Very important part of what lead us all here.

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

Just thought I'd say the Gordon tool is definitely not the first clone of a leatherman wave. Although it may be the closest, especially with the bits. There's sooo many Leatherman wave clones. But at $40? If you need a tool you can't really go wrong. Some cool stuff from Harbor Freight though!

[@MC-oh1ju]

So the day I saw another person review the Gordon multi tool I went to Harbor freight on my way home after I got off from work. It took them a few minutes to find it. As it turns out I was standing on the knife aisle when I found someone and asked them about the multi tool. And while I was standing there waiting for them to come back with the multitool I saw that same knife and also bought it at the same time. But I didn’t put make the connection you did to the beg knife. Now that you showed me this, it has tainted my mind on the knife. The knife has been in my pocket for a week straight. As a matter of fact I took out of my rotation the Joker knife. Wish I hadn’t liked it so much now, knowing what I know.

Good thing about icon is lifetime warranty so you get them replaced if there a fail in the tool

Hook blades for roofing

[@Glorfindel_117]

Honestly I absolutely love the knock offs like that knife! It goes to show that EDC brands are blatantly overcharging us by extreme amounts simply for 'the brand' or whatever excuse they have. No knife is worth multiple hundreds of dollars, they're all made from a small piece of steel, and mass produced by machines. If someone can nearly match a luxury brand's product for less than a third of the price, I will always support that seller instead. Capitalism has gone too far in training people that 'you get what you pay for' means 'you need to spend a year's savings on a single item, no matter what that item is' which is gross. If we can show big brands that we dont want their products for the prices they charge, then they will either adjust their price, or go out of business from competition, which is a good thing.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Except the Mini Glimpse and the Icon are basically the same price…

[@Glorfindel_117]

@@BestDamnEDC Ah well then that isnt ideal. If the price is more reasonable than a big brand's then I'm all for it.

[@curly6722]

I sorta agree with you but many times, those luxury items cost so much because they were the first to design and bring to the market a product. China just copies.

[@harleyandguns]

@@BestDamnEDC I've searched a lot of sites and the best I've seen the glimpse for is $79.00. That's $30 more than the Icon. Can you provide a link to any site that has them for close to the Icon price? I really like the Icon but would love to compare it to the Glimpse if I could get one in the same ballpark price. Thanks and good video.

I like the Gordon. Leatherman’s patent expired so it is fair game. I own a Charge and a Wave and the Gordon compares favorably to both. I’ve replaced my hated SOG with it on my desk at work. Why do I hate the SOG? I hate having to open the covers on the inside tools to deploy them. I hate that so much that I donated mine to habitat for humanity. Maybe it’ll get some good use while not irritating me. Love the deploying mechanism on the SOG pliers of course.

Harbor Freight's business model is to write specs for their OEMS and always has been. They don't make anything of their own. Many of their tools are very close copies of higher end tools with some adding unique features. If they violate patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc, they should be held accountable like anyone else. Most tools are just not that different and have long since been out of patent. Knives and multi-tools is whole new ballgame. They better be careful or they will be paying judgements.
