After a mishap at the last hpde i attended with my harbor freight jack,

i called in regarding the warranty, and amazingly they asked no questions, and had me send it in for repair.

2 weeks after they receive it, i get it back and i test it out today....worked like a charm !

to harbor freight stuff

my only gripe is that they didnt replace my mounting point that was marred by a subbie owner, but i give a rats *** about that... function over anything else

 

mine broke too....the little swivel wheels in the back came off, both of them......i'm too lazy to use my redneck enginerring to fix it as of now...but am too lazy to ship it back too......you think a local harbor frieght would exchange it??

 

Thats nice, did you have the extended warranty? Or just the regular?

 

for Harbor Freight for the $2.00 socket set I bought that doesn't look half bad


(until I used them and stripped the 12mm socket on the 1st shot )

Whatever the hell it cost it already stripped a bolt

 

Harbor Freight stuff is ok...

Most of it is really cheap stuff, but you can get good deals. Generally if it doesnt have moving parts (prybars, impact sockets), buy HF

If it does, or you need them for any degree of precision, then craftsman/snapon...

 

Hand tools and sockets I use Craftsman only, but when it comes to the stuff that are prone to breaking anyway, Harbor Freight stuff works well. Their impact sockets aren't too shabby, mine have put up with a lot of abuse. Their jacks don't seem too bad either, but I dont have first hand experience with them yet.

I just picked up a welding mask from them the other day, about $50 and its those battery powered ones that changes the degree of shading when exposed to bright lights. I'm very pleased with it so far! I love getting the little catalogs from them in the mail, great bathroom material!!

Funny, I think Victoria's Secret has the same marketing campaign.

I haven't really had any experience with anything of theirs other than the jack, but the jack works wonderfully. Nothing has broken on it yet after a little over a year's worth of use.

 

I bought that ratchet set for my GF. I also bought an expandable lug nut wrench, which works great. You guys should buy one.

 

I don't think I'd ever buy a tool from there. all their stuff looks flimsy as hell.

 

Makes me think twice on getting a Jack from them. I guess I wil stick with the high priced Sears Jack.

Quote I've never known anyone to have any problems at all with the jack. Its worked like an absolute charm since we got it more than a year ago.

Harbor Freight gets a from me.

 

ive been using their low pro jack for a while too. hopefully it wont break down on me.

 

Anyone have any experience with their Pittsburgh wrench sets?
