Harbor Freght Tools?

is the only way I will buy from them. Sunday afternoon, need the only hex key lost from your set? Other than that, they want way to much personal information for a sale. Sears is the same way. I avoid sears because I can find and bring to the register an item needed in 2 minutes. Cashing out takes 15 and you need a hand truck to carry out the receipt.

Reminded me of making a trip to HF with a buddy of mine who bought a 10'x17' "portable garage". He'd called and was told it was in stock...after we drove the 50 miles there, guess what? They did however have the more expensive one in stock, which the had no intent of discounting after lying to him. He bought it, while the whole time I was telling him the theory of "bait and switch" :lol:

I refuse to give any personal info, and if they look at me like they don't have a clue what to do next, I just tell them I'll shop elsewhere if they can't complete a sale without anything from me other than a payment. I've yet to be refused a sale. Lowes doesn't even bother asking for my phone # any more :laughing:
 
Yes and No

I bought a HF compressor 13 years ago and it still works great, the brad and staple gun I got at the same time stopped working after five years. Five years for a 20 dollar tool is not bad. The company I worked for bought an oscillating tool from a brand name company it lasted 1 year and cost over 150 dollars, I went to HF and got one for 20 dollars and it lasted almost 2 years.
 
Funny, I just ran across a HF thread on another site, regarding the restocking fee.

I copied a portion of HFs return policy/restocking fee from the thread

If for any reason you are not satisfied with an item purchased from Harbor Freight Tools, you may return the product within 90 days for a full refund or replacement, whichever you prefer. The limited warranty term is 90-day beginning on the date of invoice. A 20% re-stocking fee may apply. You must provide the original receipt to receive an exchange or refund.

So willy nilly, they can charge you 20% regardless.
 
What are items you buy there for normal use? Do you buy stuff there for detecting? Has anyone bought a pressure washer there? Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks
I bought a 1750 psi pressure washer from them last week, works great https://m.harborfreight.com/1750-ps...r-63254.html?utm_referrer=direct/not provided never had a problem withany of their stuff. There seems to always be a sales going on and a 10 or 20% coupon in the flier plus a few free items that you can pick one of.

Started exclusively buying tools there a couple years ago. I have their electric pressure washer and it works great. Have air compressors and work great. Tool kits are tool kits. A hammer is a a hammer. I’ve bought ramps and trailer items there. Lawn and garden trimmers.

My rule of thumb is if you take care of your equipment you’re in good shape. Admittedly, the products are imports but can easily be returned and often the discounts and coupons well make up for the off brand names.

I have never been disappointed with a HF product. I do find their selection to be a bit narrow. For instance, table saws are on the small to standard size but lack features I would want that come with a name brand. So for basic stuff A+
