OK so I went to harbor freight while my wife went to a mall nearby and here are the stuff I got. CHEAP STUFF!

$8.99 halogen lamps (dont really want to install it on the bumper, maybe just wait until I get a light bar or bull bar )
$6.99 pocket non contact thermometer ( for checking the cat and other stuff ) listed as 19.99, on sale for 9.99 but rung up on the cash register as 6.99?
$5.99 tire inflator guage
$39.99 leak down tester (don't know why I bought this one, I dont own an air compressor?)

and some I was kinda interested in:

$99.99 90amp flux wire welder, is this OK for any muffler work?
$69.00 3000lbs. capacity winch w/ wireless remote? is 3000lbs enough?

Return the welder and the winch.

 

nopes, I did not purchae the welder or the winch, I was unsure if they will do the job. I guess they are not enough for the intended purpose.

 

i wouldnt buy any welders from HF.. you do get what you pay for.. Miller ALL THE WAY!

 

Be careful what you buy at Harbor Freight. Anything with the name Chicago Electric is pure junk. Hell, some of the equipment with electric motors comes with new brushes. I had a heat gun that petered out after 4 hours of use (non-continuous, of course); a reciprocating saw that literally vibrated itself apart before the motor burned out; and a sander that up and died on me after 2 hours of use. The Pittsburgh wrenches are about the only thing of value. You have to have an eye and know what you are looking for at HF.

 

I broke a HF hammer the other dy. IT was a 24 oz hammer that broke in half at the handle. The hammer head broke in two not the handle.

 

Yeah, HF is pretty Low on quality, their tools are pretty much a one shot deal. I guess "some" of their measuring tools will fair better in the long run, but tools that need muscle or power will disintigrate in a short while. actually the pipe expander I bought there to install my glasspack literally crumbled to pieces after the install.

but damn it's like a candy store!!!

 

10-4 on Miller, I just bought a new Miller Syncrowave.

As far as HF is concerned buy nothing electrical. and when useing their tools alway keep in mind if this thing breaks am I going to lose a knuckle.

 

yeah and a miller is expensive but well worth it

 

I have the welder and used it on my exhaust. So far I`ve had it for about six months with no problem.
