Top 10 Things You Should be Buying at Harbor Freight January 23rd 2024

[@TowerHand469]

Gotta say something about the compressor and nailer... Home Depot has the Ridgid 6 gallon with 3 nailers for $200.

[@FarmRanchHomestead]

I got this Ridgid deal at Christmas time in 2022. It's worked well for me in the year+ that I've had it. Hard to beat.

[@FarmRanchHomestead]

@27:20ish, that Doyle "jack" looks a lot like what I've always called a vise... oh, and that "sander" that was mentioned earlier looks a lot like a grinder. LOL! Thank you Jeff, for sharing all these deals with us. I appreciate it.

[@garrett9186]

I was told by a Harbor Freight manager today that this weekend all clearance and yellow tag items are 20% off and 40% for inside track. He also said they have a whole pallet of that stuff they are waiting to put out so most stores should have the same.

[@beammeupscotty9874]

I always find your enthusiasm contagious Bear. Keep Shining On!! :)

[@josephcirelli9642]

Always wait for your HF review videos before I go to the store. I end up buying a little more than I planned. But I’m confident that I got a great deal.

[@eryxis827]

The Haul-Master 1000 is unbelievably useful. It also lets you single handedly pick up a lot of the heavier deals you can find on local marketplaces that other people can't get. It will pay for itself.

[@tincupco]

I bought the Hercules miter saw for $299 this weekend. I also got the Hercules stand for the regular price. I took the handle off of the bottom of the stand and mounted it between the wheels with beefier bolts and now it is perfect. It should come with a handle on both sides. The saw is a beast.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

A buddy of mine bought the same saw. And I agree. What a kick-ass saw!! I like it better than my 19 year-old DeWalt I paid $800 for when new. Lol

[@SaboSells]

FYI I got a HF pickup truck crane ($179 retail) and switched out the hand crank with a HF 2500lb electric winch ($79 retail), mounted it to my dump trailer and it's been a lifesaver ever since. I also added a timber claw hook and I can lift tree rounds that weigh several hundred pounds easily into the trailer! At 65 years old I just can't lift that heavy stuff anymore and I can do things I would never even think of without it. I even ran a cable to a tree next to my house and lifted all the roofing materials and installed a new roof with my wife this summer using the crane and winch.

[@tuberstitious]

Did you use the coil nailer from HF? They had some 40% off (IT). I have the dump trlr, HF winch and mounting plate but need the truck hoist ;-) I have non working rt shoulder, "repaired" left shoulder, fused back and waiting on 2 knee replacements. I have 3 yrs on ya, kid (lol)... keep up the good work! Sounds like you have a great wife! Blessings!

[@waltschannel7465]

I love it that HFT has cases for "paper punchers".

[@ashtonm.3825]

Hi Jeff.....before covid I was in med school becoming a doctor and then covid hit and life got turned up side down. I'm getting back on my feet going back to being a financial executive from my old life. LONG LONG LONG story short, I have not taken a break or trip or vacation in over 5 yrs now. I am so tempted to fly down to vegas in March for the show. It would be just worth it to meet the bear and the man that has taught me so much about tools :)

[@blakebonnes3745]

That rechargable pen light is damn good. I use mine everyday anywhere from 5-10 minutes to 30-hour. I can go about a week without charging it depending on how much i use it. I have been very impressed with it so far. It also charges at a pretty fast rate.

[@brianprather6743]

Skil makes a great 10 inch jobsite table Saw $299 …. But the Skilsaw portable worm Drive is the Cadillac of table top saws … but it’s Double the cost 😂

[@ST-0311]

I agree. The Skil is a better saw at the same price when not on sale. Actually, the DeWalt 8 1/4 is a better deal even with the loss of a deeper cut. The Hercules miter saw is a winner, but the table saw is not very good.

[@garymiller5937]

Thanks for all the great deals Jeff. There were a lot of great ones! Nowhere else does anybody keep me up to date on Harbor Freight. I sincerely appreciate it. Have a fabulous rest of the week. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@donaldhiggs2075]

I've had a set of Pittsburgh impact sockets for 10+yrs and when I tell you I have beat on them, I have beat on them like they owed me money. Ran and owned Big trucks and they got used everyday on some of the rustiest nuts I could find and have never broken one. I don't think they make a better set.

[@CMDPromptify]

Been away for a while and it seems I missed your camera upgrade. Looks awesome!

[@denoftools]

LOL. just got it actually.

[@Its-Steven]

I picked up my sandblast cabinet this afternoon.

[@m3rdpwr]

I have the thin streamlight flashlight, that runs off a single AAA. I can't remember the last time I had to replace the battery. It's perfect when I'm in data centers, and I need to read labels off cables. The brightness is perfect for those situations.

[@jgrichardson1]

Yes! I got the 10mm set too. Great minds…

[@calimesacox]

@ 27:20 Doyle makes a very odd jack that looks like a vise😂

[@FarmRanchHomestead]

I thought the same thing... and the "sander" was designed to mimic a grinder.

[@DKWalser]

The Fortress pancake air compressor with free nailer is a good deal. However, I think I'd go with the Ridgid compressor with three nail guns and a hose for $200 at Home Depot ($100 off the usual price). The Fortress compressors may be better than the Ridgid. If they are, they aren't that much better. However, the three Ridgid nailers are professional grade -- and there's more of them!

[@timothyvanderschultzen9640]

California Air.

[@FarmRanchHomestead]

I went with the Ridgid kit, and I'm happy that I did. Technically, it's two nail guns and a stapler, but yes, it's a great deal. I've used all of the included tools, and I'm quite satisfied with it. I did get some other air compressor accessories at HF as they have a much better selection than HD does.

[@WaltWW]

That’s a nice top shelf hole puncher.

[@denoftools]

Was wondering if anyone would spot it.

[@ashtonm.3825]

I'd use the Haul Master for stuff I want to keep out of the truck bed. Either something wet or leaking (think taking garbage to the dump) or something I'm protecting (think truck bed is full of tool boxes and lumber banging around and you have a new vanity you want to keep safe).

[@E82djc]

I grabbed the dolly’s since I have way too many of those 10mm sets . Went back and used multiple phone numbers and got 6 😂 I live in NE so I use them for rolling buckets of salt /sand for the driveway - cat litter for oil spills - etc etc

[@ladybird808s]

Agree I want that tool cart for 450$ at the very least especially here in Minnesota where they tax the hail out of us

[@robshepard1636]

Excellent hat sir! Thanks for all your excellent content.

[@Arkie407]

My compliments on the show "Set" & lighting - yeah I noticed you've done your homework & ramped up to major league. Bravo, love the look and the sound quality! 🔊😎💯✨

[@joshuagibson2520]

Just got back from Lowes. Killer battery sale going on. For $97 out the door I got (2) 2ah batteries, (1) 4ah battery, charger and a drill and driver. I've been using my 7 tool set for 2 years just waiting for some battery deals. Now I have 5 batteries and an extra drill and driver put back in case. Finally a battery deal. I think Lowes had other brands of batteries on sale too. I passed HF ony way home, but I knew I couldn't go without spending a couple hundred so I refrained lol.

[@joshuagibson2520]

The only bad I can say is the included charger is a smaller model and slower than the one that came with my 7 tool set. I can live with it, but it was not shown in pictures or anywhere in the listing or disclosed that I saw.

[@groundhog5923]

@@joshuagibson2520 The slow chargers can extend battery life. I would use that A LOT when you don't need a battery right away (overnight). I have 3 Makita fast chargers that came with kits, but bought a slow charger and try to use it as often as I can.

[@joshuagibson2520]

@@groundhog5923 very good point.

[@ricecowboy]

Sam’s has Honeywell 4’ linkable shop lights for $20 everyday price. Also regarding the Quinn set, if you break a socket or extension, you MUST return the WHOLE SET. Otherwise the warranty is worthless if you’re missing ANYTHING.

[@denoftools]

That is not true about the Quinn set. Official policy from corporate is that they have to break open a set and replace it.

[@ricecowboy]

@@denoftools what?! I point blank asked a store manager and he told me the socket set needs to be complete. He told me this rule applies to both icon and quinn sets. I need to look this up.

[@denoftools]

@@ricecowboy I have official Contacts at corporate and I’ve spoken with them about this several times. They have been very clear, the policy is that they are to break open a set and replace the item. I would contact Customer Support and tell them the name of the manager in the store number.

[@Being_Joe]

Props on the lighting and camera setup upgrade.

[@denoftools]

Thanks for noticing.

[@E82djc]

I’m the same I would buy it at 400-50 for diag / electrical stuff , but not 500+ tax Maybe the 27 inch will go on sale once - I doubt it

[@hankdog001]

Just looking the Mr. Heater propane space heater is like $88 at Walmarts website. A few bucks more I'm going with the brand I know.

[@scottm3717]

How did you know bought the 10mm set😝

[@98kouki123]

Already had the 10mm set so I got the torque wrench

[@Conan997]

Jeff, they did have the 34 inch tall cart for $400 for one day of the 12 days of Christmas '23

[@themessygarage]

At $500, the Full Bank is definitely worth it. I've loved mine.

[@djmj17]

The bauer oscillating tool ia showing 39.99 at my store with coupon

[@JustCallMeRock]

Do the bauer space heater comparison

[@m3rdpwr]

I bought the 10 mm set a couple of months ago on sale, but didn't really need it. I wish I had waited, because I have a gift card now. Oh well. LoL

[@davidcorliss]

I bought the table cart I knew ahead of time the benefits of a cart like this my wife didn't think it was worth it till we used it

[@realsharpknives7988]

Another good video. Got a Warrior electric planer for $15.00 of coupon today.

[@KLartrandM]

SKIL table saw is $299. It is a better buy, built in legs!

[@captiverust]

Love the production upgrades! Nice work!

[@grizmt7779]

You’re rockin that hat Red.

[@aarondavis8433]

The Bauer DA polishers are amazing for the price! combine that with the fact they have cutting, compounding and polishing pads on clearance right now its a steal! I use this very one on my 3 cars and they do the same job as the $250 Rupes. Do I expect they will last as long, no they probably wont. however, I could replace them 4 times over before hitting the same dollar amount. Are the results the same, YES. (and before the nay sayers chime in, all 3 cars are black Mercedes, with a now perfect Finnish) Thank you Bear, the money I save on some of these tools and consumables goes right back to the next project car

[@justinsneed5772]

Im about to buy a new 56in us general series 3 top bottom and side locker do you think that they will make thwm in purple because i will hold off and wait

This is the year of me, finally truly investing in the channel. I’ve been shooting the last eight years mostly with a cell phone and a WebCam. This is the first video using the new Sony FX 30 with a sigma 16mm lens. Wait till you see the upcoming b roll.

[@DC-qz7zj]

Love your channel! I’m looking for a bench top drill press and was wondering if you had a chance to check out the new Bauer 12” model? Also considering the 12” Wen.

[@jedpalfreyman9807]

I know its not something that goes on sale often could you include boots as they are an essential safety tool

[@joshroach3375]

I don't know why, but the racing jack dad joke gets me every time. 😂

[@RichCatelli]

Great video. I had a question, I have a 2017 Toyota tundra and I’m looking to get something to put in my travel kit for lug nuts. Any suggestions? Preferably cordless and doesn’t have to be from harbor freight only. Thank you in advance.

[@gabagool2064]

If you’re in (or considering) the Milwaukee platform, I would recommend the m12 stubby or m18 mid torque. I have both but use m12 the most.

[@denoftools]

So many options there. Dewalt 12v extreme would be a good choice. There is a third part USB charger for the batteries.

[@Heinrich99]

The inflator with dial gauge I'm going to have to pick one up for 9.99.

[@cutter2258]

Why do they put the Hercules planer on inside track and don't send them to every store? I have a raincheck but not one the whole sale. They do have a display but won't sell it.

[@joecool509]

you want a pin nailer for glue ups..

[@joshuagibson2520]

8.99 gun cases and the 79$ Bauer drill press caught my eye.

[@711slimshawny]

is the super duty 3 ton worth the 110 bucks over the regular 3 ton daytona that is on sale right now? its occasional use in the shop since i have lifts. thanks

[@denoftools]

For your needs.... no, not really. I don't use one, I have the Daytona 3 ton with the quick pump and I'm lifting a ram 3500. Unless you are a pro or a very serious DIY'er it's overkill for most people.

[@mattyounis5636]

Yep I got the free grinder

[@davidfrancisco5311]

[@paulmysliborski4832]

I've had that Bauer jig saw for over a year now, and I really like it. I only put an hour or two a year on a jig saw, so it's a perfect fit for me. I've also had the ICON parrot-nosed pliers for about a year. Only used them once on some rusty-ass nuts on a push mower I was taking the engine off of, but they did the trick. But that Predator trash pump is WAY overpriced in my opinion. That engine goes for $300 as a stand alone. So you're telling me that the trash pump (Oh, and the metal frame tubing) is $500? ($400 on sale)?? Get real on that one, HF. I could build my own from scratch for less money. Great stuff as always, Jeff!!

[@vinceruffalo5949]

I wish that jawhorse knockoff was down around $50-60😢

The hackzall, the non fuel one, is notorious for being underpowered to the point that it's often called the hacksom. The multitool is not a beat be any measure BUT it is small and that is what I use it for.

[@kimvette1]

Those propane salamder heaters are excellent - I bought the Crapsman/CraftsDecker-branded version of that heater a few years ago when our pipes froze and used it to heat our basement to get heat into the wall and unfreeze our plumbing (Yes, I used it in an enclosed space; I have both CO2 and CO monitors, and the levels of each remained well within safe levels. CO did not rise one bit.). Table saw: bad timing so I'll buy it on the next $299 sale. :D

[@paulhopkins1905]

Well, Harbor Freight just lost a customer in me for life. They sold me a paint sprayer that was a complete pile of garbage, and had the nerve to charge me a $30 restocking fee. I asked the manager to waive it because the sprayer just wasted a bunch of paint, and caused a ton of extra work. He told me I had to call there corporate customer service, corporate told me I only the in store manager could do it. I went back to the store and the manager coped an attitude with me. They know that sprayer is trash, the Avanti HVLP, they either rip you off for 30 bucks when you return it, or upsell you on a more expenisive airless. I won't darken Harbor Freights door again
