I have a Campbell Hausfeld 30 gallon air compressor I purchased 22 years ago in my garage. I never had to do anything to it, except the change tools. It works as good today as it did when I bought it. You get what you pay for.

[@Buildeverything]

I put up the 10x12 greenhouse and with a bunch of modifications this thing is rock solid. For the price and ease of modifications well worth it.

[@NINJA4RL]

the rotary tool was the first thing i ever bought from them. it still runs after 15+ yrs. no, its not powerful, but its great for light work. i use it a lot working on old video game consoles where my dremel is too bulky. i know dremel has some smaller models but not for that price. not sure if same brand they sell now though.

@@RaoulThomas007 Haha that happens too, but I always get em cause free. Leave em laying around all over so you always have one. I think I have about 7-8 of em. Maybe not the most accurate as I've seen em read 130 in a wall outlet(fluke said 121) but it lets you know it's live. I think kids use em in cars for a volt gauge , and the VW TDI guys use them for keeping an eye on a resistance value they intercept going to the computer to fool it for more power. Cheap junk, so just get alot of them. I use a marker and write on them TURN OFF on the knob because they don't have auto-shutoff.

we get those back a lot but some people don't have problems. They're popular and often have coupons so we sell a lot of them. Makes money so why take it off the shelf?

[@l00nybin]

@@katieedmonds2212 maybe because it's trash? How about making better so it's not a one-time-use item, especially when the one time it's used is usually after any warranty expires. That's why I won't buy another one. I spent the money to get a better one, and it has lasted me 5 years. Only spent $80, so... less than $20/yr, vs. one use out the HF model.

[@kramers4333]

My dad has had one of the central pneumatic compressors for about 3-4 years now and it works great for the basic like using a blow gun or chuck to blow up a tire. The only issue is that is doesn’t like to run in the extreme cold, but after a few attempts it gets warmed up and works fine.

[@mramseyISU]

Hey I've got that drill master rotary tool and it's not half bad. I needed something in a pinch and it did the trick for me. It's definitely no dremel but for $15 it did what I needed.

[@jimboh5131]

DITTO! for light duty use, it has worked very well for me.... know the limits, which are an asset at times.

[@pep729]

Agreed. I use it to polish the feed ramps for my pew pew barrels. Works great.

[@Halfstep2024]

Well I’ll be the one with red on that one then cause the bits all are hot garbage with the stone ones shattering and breaking by the third use for me. And the tool itself.. well yea it’s just all around bad lol 😂 if you only use one twice a year then yea I guess it’s ok, but it really depends on how big your “pinch” is as to whether it’s gonna get you out of it or not. I had to buy one once for an exhaust repair on the road and it didn’t make two complete cuts of 5” pipe before dying. 😞

[@samhaines829]

HF Greenhouse has been going strong for 4 years. After a couple of years the panels started to look like well, the white bear, so I ordered a 12x50 cover from greenhouse megastore for around $90 to wrap over the top which is held in place on each end (top and sides) with treated 1x2. . You won't need all of the plastic and you could order a 12x25 piece if you are only doing the top and long sides, but if you start losing panels on the ends you can use the rest to seal them using the same method. The frame works fine although you may want to upgrade the door. I use it to start my plants and extend my pepper and tomato production in NC.

It my longest lasting greenhouse

[@TartanJack]

Was prepared to add to the list, but you covered them. That Cen-Tech charger was in my possession all of four hours before I realized it didn't work and took it back to the store. The Drill Master rotary tool I still have but thankfully I don't know where it is. It was free and that's what it was worth.

[@timsawyer7443]

Rotary Tool Kit -- actually, this thing is pretty good, if you buy it with the understanding that you'll just be using it to do some VERY lightweight tasks. It's VERY inexpensive and does a fine job of little stuff that you don't want to try to do with anything that would do damage if it were any more stout. Such as -- sanding off toenails when applying anti-fungal meds (heard about it from a friend, of course!), and sanding off an overly aggressive handgun stippling job. You would NOT want to sick a Dremel on these, as it could do some hurtin' if not tremendously careful. The Drill Master, though? Really not enough torque to do much damage -- just enough to get the job done. Just my humble opinion that I thought I'd add. Hope this helps somebody.

[@alpscraftshack599]

Harbor Freight Tools are great for hobby wood crafters who make small items that don't require a lot of power to make. Every Harbor Freight Tool I have bought, in the past five years, for my wood craft business, is still going strong. Only had one problem with any of them - the mini Chop Saw - the belt broke. Harbor Freight replaced the tool and have never had a problem with the replacement. I guess one needs to by their tools according to the intended use. For small hobby wood craft, they are great. For construction, heavy use, and professional use - you need to buy the appropriate lines from them, or go with name brands. Do not try and be cheap on tools for those uses.

[@lsmith2129]

If tire installers actually used the right torque when installing lug nuts those emergency impact would probably work better,most lug nuts only need 100 ft lbs of torque when most tire places use 500 ft lb guns and run maximum pressure

[@MrRob1426]

You laughed at that emergency impact wrench but it will take the lug nuts off just fine. I've tested it on lug nuts torqued to 140 and with about 5 impacts they break loose. Beats the hell out of using a lug wrench. I have them in 2 of my cars.

I get into a lot of arguments about Harbor Freight Tools and when they hear that I have hand tools from Harbor Freight and some electrical tools from Harbor Freight that are almost 30 years old and still work perfectly they are surprised at that people need to realize that yes Harbor Freight does have some substandard tools however they have a lot of great tools as well. Another thing I hear all the time is professional mechanics don't use harbor freight and that is a bunch of crap because I know a lot of professional mechanics that have Harbor Freight Tools in their tool boxes.

[@dylanbedard5853]

As with rotary tools, I’d go with the Milwaukee M12 one since I’ve invested in 3 M12 tools. A job site radio, an M12 Fuel Hackzall and an oscillating multi tool. All them work fabulous for 12v tools. Also the 5 3/8” circular saw would be nice

[@MV-bj1yk]

I'd stay clear out of Chicago.

[@Ro6entX]

I can personally vouch in regards to the air compressor. I bought the small pancake one, and it was utterly useless aside from using it to blow clean. The hose connection leaked, tried all that I could to stop but never worked. In the end, I end up giving it away.

[@tluva1020]

I bought the rotary tool as a pet nail grinder. It works & is cheaper than what's on Amazon. It also works well for small crafts. Definitely not the main workbench

[@phbrinsden]

True about using HF bar clamps for welding. Do it regularly.

[@TechGorilla1987]

You need to install a more aggressive prop on your Narwall to get a good hole shot for a stout bear such as yourself. They have a ton of horsepower, but transferring that to the water without cavitation is the tricky part.

[@denoftools]

Not getting shish kabobed is the tricky part!

[@con_ed7960]

I actually built + 200 lineal ft of 6ft privacy fence BY MYSELF, using this 6inch ratcheting clamps...they were A GOD SEND an held up perfectly, 100 2"x4"x8ft rails, 3 rails, perfectly with no issues. They replaced my 14 yr old son who continually protested he was too tired to hold those 2x4's while I pilot drilled ang then deck screwed them into place on the 4x4x8ft posts. Home depot and Lowe's had no ratcheting clamps whatsoever...these were worth their weight in gold over a two week period of use, and never failed once. The regular 6" clamps at the big box stores would not have enabled me to finish the job alone as I would have required 4 hands to use them AND THEY WERE 4X AS EXPENSIVE.

[@TechGorilla1987]

[@1wirey]

Given my luck with Harbor Freight I’ll never go back again. Here’s some items to add. Doweling jig with centering lines out of alignment; a knife sharpener that’s so flimsy that it does more damage than good; a heat gun that blows out after the third use; a woodworking bench where I couldn’t use the drawers because the predrilled holes were out of alignment etc. My experience says that the stuff is inexpensive for a reason. QC is absolutely terrible. The only reason for my last purchase was because I had a gift card. The next gift card will be regifted.

I have about 60 of those retching clamps, 10% don't work all others will slips when applied with force. But for $2 a pop I got some use out of them. Got the large green house on sale for $300, Costo version was $3,000 at the time! Need to modify the green house to make it functional else will fall apart. Its been 10 years, some roof panels are disintegrated from the heat, cold and wind. Didn't expected it lasted this long.

I bought a Cen-Tech battery charger many years ago and it worked just fine for me. In fact, some time later when I started having alternator trouble I went down to Harbor Freight to get another one because the first one worked so well. When I got home I set the box inside the garage to use later in the day, right on top of the old charger I couldn't find before I bought this one. The new one I bought more than five years ago is still in the box. I'm still using the old one. Right now I'm using it to occasionally recharge the battery I took out of my old Civic until it warms up enough to work on it some more. This old charger still works fine. I considered trying to sell the one that's still new-in-box but I figure I'll keep it around for IF this one should EVER fail. If this is the worst of Harbor Freight I should be buying ALL my tools from there!!

[@BrockBenkula]

Funny story with the 12v heater defroster thing. I bought one for my truck as the heater wasn’t working, as you said barely even worked then after having it on maybe 4 times the unit started smoking and completely melted the plastic around the cord. Definitely was a dumb purchase😂

[@diogeneslamp8241]

Add the pole saw to your list- works a few hours then the gears strip out- went through 2.

[@j.d.schultzsr.9215]

The cheesiest HF tool I have is the digital VOM. For under $20--sometimes as low as $5 on sale--it is quite the little miracle if it even works at all! I have 2of these little gems. Right out of the box they seem accurate, but after a year or two the resistance readings are inconsistent even between units. At 1/5--1/10 the cost of a Fluke, they are best considered throwaways after 1 construction or repair.

[@Fr1day-RT]

A friend of mine likes that drillmaster rotary tool for doing light deburring. Because if it catches it will stall rather then gouge expensive parts.

[@ReligiousZombie]

Oh gosh, thank you for mentioning the Drill Master rotary tool kit. It was one of the first things I ever got from HF, and likely because I had a coupon. People should understand that it is not worth it even if you get it for free, as it just takes up space in a drawer and can't doing anything. It is so weak that whatever you touch it against will stop the bit from turning. A tub of margarine will stop this thing. Or your tongue. On the other hand, I've had success so far with the ratcheting clamps. As long as you accept that they're only for light duty clamping where a great deal of pressure isn't required, they will do the job.

[@Troph2]

Brace the top corners of the greenhouse with some cheap electrical conduit at 45deg. Just squash the end of the conduit at each side flat, drill a hole and run a bolt through it.

I asked what he was there for and he said a clamp on magnifying light. It was $40 and he was going to pay full price, can you imagine? So I coached a little and grabbed him the free headlamp and the 20% off coupon. I thought we were all set until the cashier asked him if he wanted the protection policy. He said yes. I was so embarrassed. He was so happy. Come on man, it’s a light with a lense on it

I’ve purchased the majority of the items listed in this video save the bit sharpener and impacts and have had good luck out of most of it all Honestly most are some of my favorite buys

[@freddyangulo9804]

I got the battery charger and works great, the issue is that most people try to use them on really dead batteries, and the charger has a safety device that needs to sense some voltage to activate the internal relay and actually start charging this is done so people don't accidentally touch the terminals together and trip a breaker before connecting the charger to the battery or cross the terminals when connecting to the car battery...

Hey bear, can you make a suggestion for Eric from harbor freight, at my shop almost everyone has this esencial tool it’s an extra long 1/4 flex head ratchet we’re paying well over 80$ for a 1/4 ratchet part number TLLF72 and i would rather buy 2 or 3 from harbor freight than to buy 1 snap on tool again ( I lost my first one ) it’s a great tool and I honestly believe it would be a tool that sells quick

[@stufields5125]

I've had nothing but trouble with HF hydraulic tools. Some worked once in the store and then failed on the third attempt at using.

[@hardlyb]

I like the ratcheting spreader bar / clamps. I've used them for years, and bought some more recently, and they seem fine. Yes, you can't get them as tight as a clamp that uses a screw mechanism, but I've never had one break on me in use. And the mechanism to close it is the same kind of canted metal bar with a slot through it that keeps the thing from opening, so the only part which seems likely to break is the handle (I'm sure you could break if you really bear - ha! - down on it). But I use them to hold wood steady on a table while cutting or drilling it, and to glue things together, and they've never failed me. I can think of a lot of things from HF I'd put on this list before these guys...

[@RobertKeeney]

I use the small ones for toy making. I have about twenty of them. Al I need them to do is hold the part in place until the glue dries.I only paid 99 cents each for them.

[@hughbrackett343]

The part that breaks is a little plastic pin. I've killed a few and had them replaced. I use them a lot for positioning and small gluing jobs. If I need to crank something down I use one of the all metal clamps.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

I've owned the Cen-Tech for around 6 years now, and I've used it maybe 30 times across 5 vehicles. It's worked every time, so eh. Maybe people are dropping them?

Don't get to much from H.F., but I decided to get one of their Haul Master utility folding trailers and put it together. Pretty straight forward putting it all together, and it actually works REALLY well. Before this I owned a $1,000+ 10 foot utility trailer that was really nice with the ramp gate and all, and this $169.99 Harbor Freight trailer I swear rides smoother than that other one did. Put a 3/4 pressure treated plywood on top covered in outdoor carpet and have been very happy with it. BTW Make sure you grease pack ALL the bearings in the axle, instructions only mention the outer ones not the inner ones. Find the instructions on KZbin.

Brought it back to Harbor Freight and the replaced it. Now, I keep it in my trunk for emergencies, but will be tightening lug nuts by hand with the Pittsburgh Pro 1/2" torque wrench.

[@insylem]

[@Zeptyche]

My first Centech battery charger lasted for like 6 years. Then it died. So I bought another one and it lasted after one jump. I took it back and exchanged for another one and then that one didn’t even work out of the box. I ended up spending about $120 on a Dewalt Jumper.

[@CrimFerret]

Sampling some of what your book teaches how to make it sounds like. In any case, these all look pretty bad. As far as rotary tools go, just get an actual Dremel. I know the price is higher, but you will then be able to get any of the accessories as well as parts to keep it running if needed.

[@robertemmons2260]

I had tried to use the rotary tool a few times, but it had fell flat on its face every time I had attempted to use it.

I picked up a CE 12v hex driver numerous times at HF with thoughts of buying it. Then I’d set it on the shelf and walk away. But then one day I couldn’t stand it anymore. I needed one...so I bought the Milwaukee 12v brushless version.

Ehh, the ratchet clamp is great for acoustic guitar repair. And I also just used an old longer one to hold the mounting tab on a Saab headlight assembly while I JB Welded it back in place. So I don’t know. It’s already paid for itself a few times over for me. But then again I only use it to hold something in place lightly. So I guess that’s why I haven’t stripped mine out. Well not yet I should say.

Dont forget the cement mixers. They are all belt-driven. I tried one and the belt would keep slipping. It could not handle the weight if half a bag of concrete. I pulled has hard as I could with all my weight (224lbs) on the motor and had my wife tighten the nuts and the belt still slipped. The barrel wouldnt even move. They gave me such a hard time bringing it back even though it doesn't work as advertised.
