    i got the black one and no i didnt get the top chest with it. i scored the roller for under $1200 and that'll be plenty of storage for me. i wouldnt have space or anything to put in the top chest. I have a separate setup for the track and what's in the garage

    I thought my HF oil pressure gauge kit was good. Two years later it leaks ATF at the hose/gauge connector.

    I’ve been using the US General magnetic can holder and can confirm it holds up to some abuse, especially on those stubborn projects. Highly recommend.

    Picked up one of these for 90 bucks last week to compliment my 5 drawer. It's pretty nice. Rolls super easily, almost too easily. Heavy duty sliders on the drawer so you can really pack it. Highly recommend at that price point.

    Pissed I missed the price drop. I've been on the lookout for a cheapish one. I gotta pay better attention to those emails!

    it's not a perfect circle, so about 3" from the front opening to the flat back and about 3.5" at it's widest point.

    Re: Harbor Freight tools that DON'T suck

    Anyone rocking the new black tire changer? I like the upgraded rubber pads and want to switch to it from the older red one but I want to make sure my motorcycle tire changer can fit on it. On the old red one they changed the thread pitch so the motorcycle adaptor doesn't fit on all of them.

    I tell you I have one of those predator 3500 inverter generators. That thing is super quiet and has been reliable for a few years.

    Lost the keys to a Master padlock and will have to cut it off.

    Does HF make a good angle grinder / cutoff blade combo? Seems like many models from

    Do the battery powered models have enough power for use around the shop? Models from $20 to $100.

    Re: Harbor Freight tools that DON'T suck

    I have el cheapo chicago electric angle grinder from HF. It has to be 15 years old and I've abused it. Still works great.

    If you have other battery tools of theirs, then maybe the battery one would make sense? But I don't want to get in to another battery system. So if I'm looking at HF for a cheap tool, then I want the cheapest one that will get the job done.

    And if I really want something battery powered, then I'd be looking at Milwaukee since I've been switching over to them.

    Re: Harbor Freight tools that DON'T suck

    Get the corded one. I beat the piss out of my cheapo $15 one and it has never given me an issue. Currently i have an illegal saw blade ripper mounted to so i can groove pieces of decking for traction and scare myself silly while using it. Good times...
    Never buy battery powered tools from Harbor freight. They usually change the design up every few years so your tools get out dated quickly.

    Just to confirm, the new black stand can accept the motorcycle tire changer attachment. The new stand has a few nice improvements over the old red versions. It was worth buying the replacement. The tire lever bar isnt as good though so i kept the old red one.
