What should I spend it on?

[trailjeepman]

I was given a $100 gift card to Harbor Freight for my birthday. I know most of their stuff is usless, but what should I spen it on?

 

[spraypaintman]

zip ties!!

 

[Spence]

anything consumable...... zip ties were a good suggestion, grinding wheels, anything that has a tendency to get used up right in the middle of a project that just pisses you off, but is hardly worth dropping everything to go to the store to get

Ive got a 1/2" drive torque wrench from there that has been working pretty good for 3 years, about $15 bucks. Also, the $300, 8000lb winch would be good, with a 15% off coupon too.

 

[BigBody79]

the question is what do you need

A hydrolic air ram for my bender

 

[trailjeepman]

the question is what do you need

I want all kinds of things. I dont really know what I need.

 

[upnover]

Volt meter
Cheap tools for the trail
as said consumables
thingy to fill the 1lb propane bottles off of a 20lb BBQ tank
camping stuff
just go look, I am sure it'll jump out at ya

 

[trailjeepman]

Anyone know if the timing light is any good?

 

[chuckwhut]

ever broken something, or lost something, or never had it in the first place in the middle of a job?

then you bend something or shave something down or spot weld something to something else to take the place of that thing you don't have?

get that thing.

Anybody wanna trade a $100 gift card for some dana 300 twin sticks? LOL

 

[spraypaintman]

Buy some tools and make your own!

 

[strange1]

are the 20% off coupons for Harbour Freight still on here? If you can find them that will help your 100 go a little further.
I would avoid tools from HF that have moving parts.

grinding wheels

nO nO no no nononononononono.

noT MAYBE NO!

Their grinding wheels suck the ass. They like to fly apart under strain, well 1 in 10 or so does. And it only takes one shattered gringind wheel to do permanent damage to someone.

Id feel better if he bought a HF chainfall and used it to hold his house over the grand canyon than use one of the grining wheels

 

[ajeeperwannabe]

well if its this hard to spend the $100 just give the card to me and I'll take care of it all.

 

[Ron]

Ill give ya $50 for the $100 card

 

[Spence]

and let the bidding begin




and skyhi- come to think of it.... i have caught two busted HF cutoff wheels to the face........... maybe i should rethink that part

 

[Ridgerunner]

Buy that odd tool that you would never buy but might need.
They do have name brand stuf there too

 

[catfishblues]

Their multi-meter, the big one that they keep near the register, is actually pretty good! For a $20 meter, it works exceptionally well.

OK! I went up there yesterday and spent my gift card. I bought the "Heavy Duty Gas Welding and Cutting Accessory Kit". It came with the hoses, valves, and tips. Now all I need is some tanks! Then I can melt some metal. Anyone have an extra set of small tanks they dont need any longer?
