Harbor Freight SALE!

[Naplm00]

Cabinet will bleed dust if you dont seal it,

I used silicone while assembling and have a old tiny shop vac hooked up to the dust collector output.

I just shoved a rag to make up the difference in the hose sizes

put about a inch of water in the bottom of the vac and get to work

no dust bleed, works great


The gun that comes with it is so-so

a TP tools bun is much better and damn cheap

How's this cabinet for containing dust? Or do you use a dust collection system? What mods have you done to it?

chinese stuff is usually cheap crap but folks here want cheap crap. guess why nothing is made in the usa anymore. cos the cheap US consumers don't want to pay for it. you can't have it both ways.

A statement worth quoting.

Also it is already coming to pass that the US consumers now can't afford to even buy the cheap Chinese crap.

Is there anyone still left wondering why?

[mrsleeve]

have some standards and don't buy their chinese shit!

I like HF for some stuff...basic stuff, like pick sets, screwdrivers, bits, etc...and things I lose a lot at work, like 7mm, 8mm, 10mm sockets. Or things I don't use too often, like air tools...The big things I go high quality on...Makita Drill, Fluke, etc. Just my .02.

I use Harbor Freight to buy some things. It's hard to justify too much money for a craftsman floorjack when it's a Chinese POS that stops working after a year. I can get the the exact same quality for far less at HF. When I see a quality difference within my budget, I go for it. Otherwise, Sears is going to get the shaft on that one.

When I am older and can afford truly well-made tools I am definitely going to make myself a nice garage. Until then, the money I occasionally save buying HF crap goes directly into the e30 community, which is more important to me than huge tool manufacturers.

So you are okay with all the cheap labor to produce all these goods, so that in raises our standard of living, but you condemn them for not respect the patent law because? Have you been outside of the country? to third world places? Live there? understand why? If you have, you might think twice about being so critical. Its always the uneducated that makes these unbelievablly biased and ignorant statements. These statement is also used by politicians as patriotism propaganda.

Yes, my computer was made overseas, but I am sure that it was made with proper patents and most of the dies used to make the parts were made here in the states or another country that recognizes patent rights. Most of the technologies and processes to manufacture it were developed here in the states as well. Harbor Freight is filled with cheap patent rip off products. They only sell it because there is demand for it by ignorant consumers. It is simple supply and demand. If more people would stand up and stop buying it, they would not import them as much. I'm tired of China having absolutely no respect towards international patents, industrial standards, engineering standards, etc. Become a more responsible consumer.
