Time for my holiday Harbor Freight blurb - TWIH - 11-29-2019
Hi all,
This is day 2 of their 3 day Black Friday sale. I was picking up some things and noticed the 3 in 1 jump pack down to its lower price range of $34.97, the 2/10/25 Centek 12v battery charger at $29.99 and lots of stocking stuffers. Just go onto their HF website and click on the ad. I also saw battery puck lights 3/$4.97. Who knows what else they have you’d like to try.
My son wanted 6 and 12” spreader clamps for woodworking, they were half the price of Lowes sale clamps and he likes the HF ones, so I bought him some (12” were just 2.99 each and you can still use your 20% coupon on 1 item).
Happy shopping!
TWIH

I've never had a problem with H-F as they've never lied about where it was made & have a great warrenty on their tools. Funny story, a few years back I was in the close out section & a gent that worked there said the 75% off sale on the closeout prices isn't till next Sat but I'll stash your stuff till then if you want so I loaded 2 rounded up carts & he put them in the back. Next Sat I went back & got 75% off the 50% off then found out there was no sale,he had made a mistake. I knew the manager & didn't want anyone in trouble so I tried to return it all but the mahager said all was well, no one in trouble so all ended well.

I used one of their wire cutter nips yesterday and the tip broke off (last 1 mm). I took it back, no problem to exchange. Not all tools are lifetime but the better brands there are.
Some folks hate HF and some use their tools as “one-time” equipment. I just purchase from them knowing since I don’t wrench, the little I do will be ok.

Ok thats gone now but possibly 2 things of interest:
Their craptastic 10/2 12v charger. $29.95. I have one and it “works”, but I cannot say how well. It does have a simple switch for agm or fla, and it switches readily between 2 and 10 amps. It does not have an equilization program (actually a benefit I think) and it doesn’t offer any claims for multi-stage charging.
I would presume it does but havent found any documentation about it. Note - the supposed 25 amp quick boost charge has been said to: not work or work in various YT videos, depends on who you believe...
The 2nd item is their 40”x72” moving blanket, which I also own, and actually is a fairly heavy duty pad. I’d think it would work well for a cab isolator/thermal divider. It’s $3.99
https://em.harborfreight.com has them on super coupons and of course you can still get 20% off and my favorite, the free blue flashlight, which I give out as gifts...
Enjoy!
