HARBOR FREIGHT GOT ME AGAIN

[@hardlyb]

Glad to hear I'm not the only person who goes in for a box of lock nuts and comes out with a cart full of stuff. Though in my case I sometimes forget the lock nuts...

[@JP7Forklifts]

😂 yea it never fails

[@nmartin5551]

I have walked that walk more times than I care to say

[@missyd0g2]

I am careful to buy only a few items at Harbor freight. My wife more than makes up for it. She has a number of moving dollies. She uses them for moving items all the time. She had given them to friends to have too. She bought the silver tarps for school. Kids paint and the room is clean. Thankfully they don’t sell pink tools.⚒️

[@taylor2105]

KZbin's pushing your clips. Keep it rollin man. We all love tool overviews and reviews.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you. I will try not to disappoint

[@paulmysliborski4832]

HF gets me every time! 😆 I retired as a marine (boat) mechanic years ago, and sold all of my Snap-On/MATCO tools and Snap-On boxes. I have a home shop, so I have been stocking it up with cheaper offerings such as Gear Wrench, Tekton, and ICON. I have been pleasantly surprised with the ICON line, and I have not had any problems with their tool line. I have that same set of wrenches, and I really like them. Great vid!!

[@JP7Forklifts]

Awesome. I have a family member who is an ex Navy diver and he does marine tech stuff now and I find it fascinating I gotta go out there one weekend to experience it (when it’s warmer lol)

[@mikefisc9989]

Your video popped up on my feed this morning, so I gave it a view and a like. Good review of the HF Icon combination wrench set. I will definitely keep an eye open for more of your videos.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you 🙏

[@johnscott7089]

Lost count of how many times I had to cut my tool shopping short when my wife called. Hahahaha

[@JP7Forklifts]

The Mrs can be scary 😂

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Nice Harbor Haul! I have been shopping HF for 10 years and I still get sucked in to buying extra stuff,too on occassion. Just stay away from the warrior and other real cheap lines of tools. Thanks for sharing!

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you. HF gets me every time. I go for zip ties and leave with easily $100 worth of stuff. I try to stay away from the lower line stuff but I do believe all tools have a purpose. Even the cheap stuff can get modified for certain things or sacrificed to save a better tool.

[@jaydee3046]

HF knows you will buy on sale tools "just in case" , and count on that. Because by the time "just in case" comes around, you will have forgotten where you stashed that first tool. By then you are desperate and willing pay full price for the same tool.

[@SOLIZ49erFAITHFUL]

Nice info on what your haul was and being a tool nut myself, especially from this store. I have bought a lot of stuff from there and the warranties are awesome, even when buying the extended warranty. However, the prices on everything has gone up, making ICON out of my price range...they do offer upgrades on returns of tool warranty and a paying price difference.

[@JP7Forklifts]

I didn’t know they did that. That’s good to know and makes sense. You’re right about it going up but so is everything. Unfortunately that’s our world today

[@latindoggy8059]

Milwaukee hat, harbor freight tools! That’s what you did keep up the great video knicker bopper

[@nmartin5551]

Didnt know they had that backwire set. Ill have to go back….

[@JP7Forklifts]

lol don’t get trapped. I didn’t know until I saw another KZbinr get it. Hope you find them so far they are great.

[@patrickcronin6829]

Used to be every time I fix a car or something around the house, I calculate what it would have cost to have a mechanic or contractor do the job. I then go to HF and spend 1/4th of the balance of the money I saved on tools that would have been helpful to have for that project. I now have a good collection of tools and can do most things with what I have at hand. Every once in a while I still do that and it continues to be helpful. 👍 nice video.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you. That’s the best way to do it especially if you have the skill.

[@kellysmith8829]

The red and black leads in the back probe set can be plugged directly into a multimeter.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you I gotta try it out

[@brotherbrian1]

Those are great wrenches. Wish I had them long ago. I also got the add on set from Ktool that has a 21-22 and a 24-25. They also have a 27-30 for Fords.

[@JP7Forklifts]

I have to look into those. Those are sizes I can use on forklifts for sure. 👍 Thanks

[@lukek8032]

Not sure why this popped up in my recommended, seen the electrical kit and clicked on the video. I’ll help you out and like and subscribe. Cool to hear the increase in views. Keep it up.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you it’s much appreciated.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

My silicon trays I got there are basically just shrines to bits and small bit drivers. They look great and keep them ready but I have just keep going to my Picquic screwdrivers. The different ones have different load-outs. A torx one and the Super 8 handle everything for normal stuff.

[@JP7Forklifts]

I’m pretty sure you’re talking about the bit drivers with bits in the handle. If so as an elevator mechanic I thought they were great for panels and stuff cool to bring one driver and take care of a lot. On forklifts I don’t use it as much I catch myself using the 3/8 bit drivers

[@steveraymond7277]

Just an fyi, your asking if we can hear the clicking of tool when turning it but you have music in the background so little hard to hear otherwise good video.

[@JP7Forklifts]

You’re 1,000% right. I didn’t even notice or think of that. I’m learning as I go. I have zero experience editing before the start of this.

[@b.a.1591]

I love those Maddox parts kits I have an entire stacked shelf of them now Looks like I need another one.

[@JP7Forklifts]

So far so good I used them a handful of times and I’m pleasantly surprised by them.

[@plankton199]

Those wrenches are "Mountain" Wrenches in disguise. They are sold on tool trucks for 2-3X what you paid for them. Enjoy

[@JP7Forklifts]

It’s a win in my book

[@mos8541]

mountain makes them for everyone

[@importjdmexport3119]

Post more boss rare to see people in our field of forklifts

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you. I agree I can’t take all the credit I saw @FunkFPV and seeing his video made me want to put up some of my own.

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

I am like a kid in a candy store when I go to HF

[@JP7Forklifts]

lol I know what you mean. The Mrs has the same reaction when I go into HF that I do when she drags me to target and Walmart 😂

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

@@JP7Forklifts haha I know the feeling for sure!

[@mlara98796]

I love this channel yo! It came out in my recommended and your content is great!

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you so much. I do it really for my sanity and fun but I’m glad you love it.

[@darin586]

Spline is definitely a better bite and works on more fasteners than just hex

[@JP7Forklifts]

Agreed. I always felt like it had more bite.

[@j5962]

I got the back probe set a couple weeks ago.. still using my old ones so I'm not sure how good they hold up. I was just happy to find a set i didn't have to order online.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Same here. I’m one of those people that when I buy something I want it in my hands now. I’m not a huge fan of ordering online.

[@TPINSC]

I looked on line for Harbor freight and I didn't see the probes listed

[@j5962]

@@TPINSC it's under the new tools section.. last I saw anyway.. yep 70614 item number, it's 3 pages down on the app in new tools

[@JP7Forklifts]

@Mrmultitool if I’m not mistaken they don’t do online sales. It’s based off of the store inventory so chances are they don’t carry it near you but just in case this is what it’s listed under. “ MADDOX Back Probe Kit, 22-Piece - Item 70614 “

[@SilverHawk1719]

nice video man, first time seeing this channel looks like you got some good quality vids. hopefully these wrenches treat you well they look really nice, I'm a bit jealous lol, icon doesn't usually disappoint 🙏🙌

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thanks man. I’m trying for sure. Eventually I’ll get proper recording equipment. For now I have an iPhone and and idea lol. My Icon stuff hasn’t disappointed yet.

[@phillipbradberry1692]

Please do a video on there return policy!

[@JP7Forklifts]

I did I have it posted up on my page. I returned a single wrench and a pick set to see if they’ll take care of both a single item and a set.

[@americathefree3708]

Thank you sir! great information

[@JP7Forklifts]

I appreciate it.

[@derekp6636]

Hah happened to me a few times with the latest sale, was easy to get the cart filled up with spares that have walked off and fill in some gaps.

[@JP7Forklifts]

You can’t beat some of their sales and if you do it smart enough with coupons it’s like legally robbing them.

[@ComPrt3]

It would be help if you gave us the price you paid for these.

[@cbmech2563]

I've got the biggest of 3 mats. It does quite well setting it on the front while working on 😅engine on a semi

[@JP7Forklifts]

Very nice. If I was in a shop chances are I would’ve got the bigger one too. Good to hear you like it too

[@vikingnorm6935]

I have the biggest blue rubber mat, it holds up & works pretty well, subbed

[@JP7Forklifts]

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the mats

[@averygentry35]

Kinda hard to do a review and say Harbor Freight got You when you never did a review you never turned a wrench! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@raymondj8768]

sure is clean for a Mechanic I used to come home fkn filthy !

[@JP7Forklifts]

A change of gloves and all black does wonders to hide the grime.

[@JP7Forklifts]

It’s also more of a first impression. I’ll do a video reviewing all my tools and let you all know which ones I think are worth it or not after I put some mileage on them.

[@ljprep6250]

You paid $225 for five wrenches? (thud) I paid $32 (Black Friday) for a set of 8 flex-head ratcheting box combination wrenches in black chrome with gold ratchets and a nice cordura roll pouch. I'm happy with Workpro, and it was a better price than HFT. (shrug)

[@JP7Forklifts]

Great deal! I’ve seen those they’re painted black and gold. The paint tends to scratch up and rub off after a while but all in all not a bad deal. Good for basic use for sure. I did some research it doesn’t look like they have double box end ratchet similar to the ones in my video. If you know of a link please let me know I love getting tools at a good deal. Also do you know what their warranty is like? In my trade tools take a real beating so being able to replace them quickly and hassle free is HUGE.

[@toddhickox4757]

Nice set !

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you so far so good I like it.

[@soggybottom23]

missing the 11 mm also

[@JP7Forklifts]

Someone noticed lol. I knew something looked funky. I barely use the 11 mm but still would be nice to have it.

[@jacksmith2315]

Looks like missing 9 & 11. Also, that button on the side may be to make it a locking flex head

[@JP7Forklifts]

9 and 11 is right but the button on the side is the forward/reverse selector. Not a locking head but so far that’s the only negative it’s been almost a month of consistent use and I give it a 8/10

[@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailing]

You got some smudges on a 6 piece set??? Great marketing 😅

[@JP7Forklifts]

Yup it is what it is. As long as they work. It would be nice to have them fresh and brand new right out of the pack but they will get thrown around anyways so not a big issue. Annoying but not a big issue.

[@tonycroteau9264]

Great video 👍

[@JP7Forklifts]

Thank you. It’s very much appreciated I’m learning as I go so hopefully I won’t disappoint anyone.

@@JP7Forklifts yeah I thought so too but I was not sure

[@kraigdevries9639]

The box for the parts tray would have opened faster if you didn't have those ridiculous gloves on. What are you a brain surgeon, no you're a mechanic ditch the gloves.

I got some crusty hands and fingers that weave their own gang signs unintentionally from the times I’ve broken it. It keeps them looking normal 😂

Thanks for the view and the engagement. I’ll do better sooner or later I’m learning as I go.

[@drrous9917]

I stopped shopping at HF due to their return and warranty exchange experiences.

[@JP7Forklifts]

Sad to hear. What was your experience?

[@savannahtraderful]

Yeah besides the Icon and some GP hand tools they push paying for an extended replacement insurance to get a replacement after so many days. I had a Sawsall low end model and cut the cord by accident. Asked for a replacement and that was a no go because I hadn't paid for replacement insurance. Those tools you pretty much have to consider throw aways if you break them. The warranty wouldn't have covered that anyway bc I cut the cord.

[@drrous9917]

@@JP7ForkliftsTriec to exchange some Pittsburgh hand tools that I had purchased but could not exchange them because I did not have a receipt and couldn’t locate them in my purchase history. My best warranty experience has been with Irwin Tools, Craftsman in 2nd, Hudky/Kobalt tied for 3rd place.
