What should I buy at Harbor Freight tonight?

Budget is $100. Go!

(I'm kinda bored at work and have to go to Harbor Freight Tonight for some other things)

NOT zip ties. Theirs suck ass.

The blue 27 LED flashlight with the magnet and the hanging hook. Might be the most handy thing I ever bought from there.

Hmm, $100 huh?

Buy one of every little box they have with an assortment of stuff. Hose clamps, O-rings, nuts, bolts, clips, etc. Repeat until poor.

This coupon 63154903 knocks the OBD II and ABS Centech Scan Tool down to $99.

I paid about the same for my Autel and it doesn't do ABS.

Also their Plano clone (probably made by the same folks) ammo boxes are on sale for $3.99, buy 25 of them and send me 2.

I like the new 18" long 1/2" ratcheting breaker bar. They also have a 3/8" version that works well, too.

old but still funny -

I'd so buy a heavy duty pneumatic slide whistle!!

I seriously laugh whenever I see that ad. I just picked up a miter saw. Looking forward to seeing how it works out.

Big plus juan on their Miter Saw...I have used mine a LOT and, as long as you take the time to make sure plumb and square are accurate (look online, its easy to do), it does great work. I think I paid $89 or so

It did most of the cuts for this table I made (and yes, the mortise and tenons are totally fake):

Isn't that just a half inch ratchet?

Electric fly swatter. Do you need one? Hell no. Is it fun to play with? Hell yes.

Their EMT green handle shears are pretty good. I need to snag another pair of those since my tin snips died in the garage last night. I keep a pair in my car with my tool kit.

Also, I don't think their zip ties aren't that bad. You get more for your money in a bag than the ones you get at Lowes Depot. I think they are just as good quality as well.

I have the 170amp 240V one. I think I paid under $150 for it with coupons and whatnot. Abolsutely recommended. It needs a few simple upgrades that will be obvious when you assemble it (better gas hose, for one thing), but it punches WAY above its price grade.

Well, we didn't get to HF, but we did get to HOBO. And there, I bought a ladder.

that is good to hear, i was thinking of getting the 180 amp (cuz you know... its a bigger #) but its almost $100 more then the 170. I am wanting to basically get a 'do it all' mig so i want something that will be able to weld anything i will ever need (for the most part). do you think a 180 amp welder is worth $100 more then a 170 amp? will 10 amps make a huge difference?

Foot-long shoe horn. No pun intended. Stainless steel (Chinese stainless, albeit). They really have these. I use mine every day, even for my flip flops. It's a thing of beauty.
