If you’ve used these but never owned a set of your own, you should pick up a set of Pittsburgh ratcheting combination wrenches. While affordable, we wouldn’t use a Chicago Electric welder for anything other than an art project. There’s a good reason why Lincoln and Miller welders are so expensive. These are usually worth the price, and make bigger projects in the garage easier to manage.
Harbor Freight tool carts, however, are a good investment. The drawer slides, locking mechanisms and overall quality just doesn’t really constitute the savings. Harbor Freight’s tool boxes may look neat and resemble more expensive brands, but the devil is in the details. If you’re anything like us, you might open your tool box drawers 100 times in one weekend of wrenching. Magnetic wall strips and trays make it easy to quickly stick a few tools and hardware to during a job, so you can spend more time working and less time looking for stuff. Many of Harbor Freight's most useful items make organizing your garage much easier and within a budget. Do yourself a favor and stick to the higher-end brands, like Milwaukee for instance, for your reciprocating saw blades. This is an area you want to splurge a bit more. Most situations that warrant this tool aren’t emergency situations, enabling us to leave it's longevity more up to fate. Reciprocating Saws | DOĮveryone has heard of a Sawzall, but Harbor Freight has their own, more affordable, version of a reciprocating saw that we’ve used before, and it works just as well. Follow along with this list to get the most out of your own Harbor Freight Tools shopping spree. While there is definitely a list of great values that keep our editorial staff shopping there, we feel it’s important to know what to spend your hard-earned cash on and what to leave on the shelf.
Two hours and $200 later, you walk out of Harbor Freight with full cart, a slightly lighter debit card and a smile, because you feel like the master of savings! But we’re here to tell you that not everything from Harbor Freight is gold. You tell yourself you’ll quickly stop by on your way home, just to pick up some extra shop towels or batteries. Or, finally saving money on fabrication because you have your own welder and lathe. Visions of no longer using a breaker bar to undo lug nuts because you now have an impact gun and compressor run through your mind.
