#Harbor freight tools impact driver full
A lot of their stuff is poorly designed and Youtube is full of fixes for HF stuff to make it work. They sell extended warranties on some stuff but then it is often not still a bargain. Their hydraulic stuff is not too good, either. The warranty on most things at HF is 90 days. Early failure is not uncommon in electrical tools. On some items you have to pick through the stock to get a good one. Read the reviews or comnents here or watch videos and you will quickly find out about the high failure rate. One guy's great buy may have been a failure for others.
I load up on their gloves when there's a coupon, they're cheap for gloves and work just as well IMO.Īnother consideration is quality control or the lack of it.
#Harbor freight tools impact driver pro
The Pittsburgh Pro stuff is pretty darn good, IMO. Magnets are expensive, I honestly don't know how they can give those away.Īvoid cheap screwdrivers and their tape measures are not accurate. I use the magnetic strip to make shelves or something to stick to a tool box, etc. For the freebie, microfiber towels, magnetic strip, magnetic bowl, grabber tool, tarp or moving blanket. One is the item you wanted with a 20/25% off coupon, one filler (something cheap you need like a paint brush or zip ties) and one freebie. I ONLY buy three items at a time, even if it means walking out then walking back in and buying three more. Look at coupons and do your research before buying. A $5 Pittsburgh socket set will be noticeably less refined than its costlier Professional counterpart. Also, notice the two different tiers of tools: the mostly garbage Pittsburgh and the mixed bag Pittsburgh Pro stuff. That way I have a constant supply of cheap batteries for toys and remotes as well as decent disposable gloves that they sell in a few different thicknesses. Walk in for a free flashlight, walk out $100 poorer.Īs for me, I generally buy nitrile gloves there and pick up the free batteries when I do. The exception to this is if you end up being lured into buying that expensive tool you realized you can't live without that is now 50% of the "regular" price. The "free" tools are usually worth the price. It had extremely mixed reviews, then I found a few reviews that stated there are two model numbers, one with mostly positive experiences and one with mostly negative ones. A couple of years ago I was considering buying a wooden work bench (I never did, though). A lot of their products have multiple item numbers. In addition to the above advice, I'd urge a potential buyer to confirm model numbers before making a purchase.
