Harbor Freight Tool

Some of HF stuff does the job pretty well.
Some doesn't.

I've had good luck with:

• Transmission Jack (just keep the screw that jacks it up and down well greased).
• Jack stands (both large and small).
• Sheet Metal Pneumatic Nibbler.
• Sheet Metal Pneumatic Saw.
• HVLP Gun Set.
• The more expensive Sawz-All.
• 1000 Lb. Engine Stands (I weld all the joints).
• 6" Orbital Sander for body work.
• 7 piece Body Hammer and Dolly Kit.
• Torque Sticks.
• 1/4" , 3/8" and 1/2" drive socket adapters to cap screw head (basically allows you to turn your socket with a open end wrench, great for tight places).
• Fluid Transfer Pump.
• Compression Tester.
• Cylinder Leakdown Tester.
• Brake Job Tools.
• Brass punch.
• Step drills (use oil when using).
• Drill bits if you can sharpen drill bits or have a Drill Doctor.
• Electrical connectors (use solder!).
• Soldering gun kit.
• Tanks for welder.
• Heat gun.
• Zip Ties.
• Air Fittings (get the good "thick" ones).
• Air Regulators.
• Welding Wire.
• Engine Hoist (Cherry Picker).

Tools I would not recommend:

• Any die grinder, they never last.
• Electric grinders.
• Cordless rechargeable anything.
• Any abrasives, they don't last. Worth spending the extra $0.20 on better 4" cutting discs at an abrasive store.
• Impact sockets.
• Screw drivers.
• Pry Bars.
• Ratchets.
• Parts washing bin.
• Electrical and duct tape.
• Brake Bleeder / Vacuum gauge.
• Ball peen hammers.
• Drill Bit Sharpener

That's all I can think of for now...
There are just some tools that are worth getting there, and I have everything from Snap-On to Harbor Freight in my tools box and a few brands in between.


They keep the average Joe still wrenching and that is a-ok by me, just read reviews before buying... or this thread. :thumbup:
