Can anyone tell me the address and the distance of the nearest Harborfreight outlet to LA Internatinal Airport.[ I did e-mail them but they could not tell me !]
I want to look at a lightweight jack and 12v impact wrench during my stopover next month .

 

LOL! I can just see it now. you trying to stuff those items into the overhead bin as carry-on luggage I order a lot of stuff from them though and the shipping does suck.

Quite honestly, why don't you just order it online? Anything over $50 has free shipping ($5.95 handling charge, though).

If you're looking at the lightweight alumninum racing jack they offer, it's quite nice for the $200 price tag. Six pumps and it's up all the way. Low enough to fit under most cars and reach the front jack point. There's been a number of threads about it here, and just about everyone recommends it for the price.

I'd be concerned about the 12v impact wrench if you're looking to break lugs with it. It may not be powerful enough. Everyone I talked to recommended the Milwaukee 18v unit, so I bought that. It works wonders, lugs came off like they weren't even tightened.

I bought both from Harbor Freight about 2 months ago.

[Update!] The silver colored jack is on sale for only $179. Also, they do have a listing of stores on their web site.

Thanks Yoshi , thats what I was after .
You would be surprised what I have carried onto airlines over the years.
Customs were very interested in my toda flywheel when it showed up in xray!

It would nice if people like Harborfreight would send things to me in New Zealand for the same rates as they do in the US.
