I need to go buy more 1 dollar packing tape today. I dont buy anything there except tape,light bulbs and steel wool these days. I use to be a harbor freight junkie but the hit or miss style of products gets old. I do love their deep impact sockets though.

I just bought a 6.5 honda clone for 80 bucks.
Cant beat there prices with the use of 20% off.
Also I get a free led flash light everytime I dive pass there.
I have so many iv been taking the batteries out of them, for use in other things like my remotes.

I'm assuming since laundering money isn't happening anymore, they should either stay the same or go down. 

Me and my bro were going to head up there to get a bigger air compressor and some paint shits next month and i read:

"When he founded Harbor Freight Tools four decades ago, it’s unlikely Allan Smidt expected it would end like it did"



I yelled the biggest "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?!? FUCK!" but calmed down after i read more of the article.  That first line had me thinking they went belly up.

Some things I still buy there, but I prefer Northern Tool now that I'm close to one.

Fuck china freight, the scrap yard is cheaper.

especially when the peoples that work at the counter get familiar with your face.  donuts and soda have = far more than a 50% discount at the junkyard
