Northern Rebel Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Gotta love the tarps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim1963 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I own their 21 gallon compressor, an "earthquake" impact wrench and 3 ton floor jack plus various smaller tools. While it is not my favorite brand, I have never had any of their tools fail me. So I guess that they are pretty good if you are trying to save a few bucks.

kruton Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 A good friend swears by their 10" saw blades. Never used them myself but he said for the price you don't feel quite as bad tossing one and they do a pretty solid job.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99_XC600 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I had the 21 gallon compressor and I ended up returning it, due to the fact that the AMP draw at startup was too high for my garage. My detached garage has a single 15 AMP line running on 12-2 too it. So the compressor would draw too much AMP's and either not start or trip the breaker. I ended up buying a Craftsman Vertical 30 Gallon Oilless Compressor. I've nicknamed it the "Mind Eraser" due to the decibel level when it's running. I loved the 5 drawer tool cart, that thing was awesome. Best value currently on the market. Also have a lot of the hand tools as well as the 3 ton floor jack and the stands. No issues with them. I tend to stay away from their power tools, however I do have the 1/2 drill which I've completely abused and it' still working quite well. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-low-speed-electric-drill-97594.html Also picked this Angle grinder up. It's such a huge POS (1/2" of backlash in the gearset) but the thing just won't die. I've actually started to respect the little guy. http://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-43-amp-angle-grinder-69645.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I picked up a couple of canvas drop cloths. I figured it is hard to mess up canvas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hathatyl Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have a bunch of their magnetic bowls and tray, sometimes you get coupons to make them like a dollar or something. I have a bunch of zip ties, and few grinder wheels, anything that I dont HAVE to have something super good on. My buddy has one of the big compressors, he looked online before he bought it and they recommended running a bunch of this cleaner stuff through it before use. HE did and got a bunch of metal shavings out, now its been running for 2 years no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have their clamps, and they work great. I also have a huge supply of their sanding sponges, and I think they are every bit has good as the 3M ones at less then 1/2 the cost. I also buy consumables from there like shop towels, epoxy glue blushes etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
