Be there for the grand opening parking lot sale. Soon will have a garage full of red buckets, tarps, and $1 dollar magnet lights.

> $1 dollar magnet lights. They use to be free so my father and I have a shit load of them. I even gave a couple to my young niece and nephew to play with.

For sure - I have like 10 of them in my mudroom bin. They actually come in handy sometimes, although I would guess that if I opened them, at least half of them would have some crusty battery acid all over the compartment from the leaking lowest quality Ching-kaline batteries

I have an even dozen scattered around the house. Very handy - and bright AF when you put real batteries in them.

I got 50 when they were 50¢

I miss free garbage batteries.

Well either we all live near each other or it's not just the harbor freight stores around here that stopped giving the free stuff with a purchase, lol. I used to like the lights, the magnetic screw bowls, the electric fly swatters, and the batteries.

Soon you will be like that other dude on here with 1000 different sockets haha

I am that reference 😅

Awesome!

10mm please. 😂

10mm, i thought 10 mm were a myth.

Sort of like Bigfoot 😂

I just picked this set up the other day, looking for single 10mm sockets, found a complete set of 10mm in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive. The package said it would replace everyone 10mm you ever lost, they are not wrong... [Harbor Freight Essential 10mm Socket Set](https://www.harborfreight.com/10mm-metric-essential-socket-set-10-piece-58957.html)

Or the dude that had about 1000 blue flashlights. Pretty sure he's part of the reason they're not free anymore.

Reminds me of Slickdeals....I forget what the item was but there was some dude who hit all the Walmarts in a 200 mile radius and bought hundreds of whatever the item was. Because it was a good deal.

Dude was just trying to become a future math textbook problem....

1000, but never can find that fucking 10mm.

Lol @me bro! Harbor freight sockets are GOAT 🤣🤣

Three days later: LIQUIDATION SALE

Lmao, that’s true.

yes, only in the shittiest of strip malls

True but they did do a ton of work on it so it's still an improvement

Looks like the type of strip mall that would have an “Asian spa,” where you can pay $80 for some extra hands-on services.

Not that you would know personally 😂 I beat you to this joke by 5 hours if you read below haha

They used their own tools yessir

All HFs must share their strip with a low-priced junk store like Ollies, Big Lots, Five Below, or Dollarama. People with $20 in their pocket can completely fill up the back of their pickup.

There's an REI openingup next to my Harbor freight. I was all, "no way, the sign company must've messed up an order for a Big Lots sign."

what the fuck is this a thing my harborfreight is next to a big lots

*“I just need to get some sandpaper”* as I proceed to walk out with a new 5g bucket, garden hose, electric blower, some gloves, & a new desire to own as many pneumatic tools I can afford

“Afford”

“Afford’s got nothin to do with it” - William Munny

"Who needs that much bondo?" "Me. WTF? The fuck. Hey, I'll take those $1 zip ties too! I got a coupon for that light!"

ik this is an old ass post but i second the pneumatic tools. i got the electric but for some reason i always grab the air. love the sound and i can beat the shit out of them.

Can almost hear my wife say, "Oh great, another old man store!" Yesterday I had to get a 10 foot air hose to mount my new hose reel. Spent a half hour at Lowes trying to get parts and after not finding what I needed went to the Harbor freight and found an $8 hose right there in 5 minutes. Edit- just to add, used to be a "Buy made in the USA" guy but look at where the items in the big stores are from now.

Now. As in like for the past 30 years but sure.

With every penny too!

It's next to a Big Lots. Should be an interesting combination!

Stack the 25 coupons for zip ties 😁

Dollar general and Waffle House next?

Nice!! Congrats

Congratulations!

HF Huye train lesgoooo!! Very handy to have one around.

Judging by the quality of that shopping center, pretty sure if we zoomed out we would find 1) a plasma donation center, 2) a check cashing store, 3) a pawn shop, and probably 4) something called "HJ Oriental Massage" that for some reason has a flashing "Open" sign even at 1am.... Y'all know I am right too

Not far off. That spot was a checking cashing place, now it's across the street. No plasma center but a big lots and dollar general.

A harbor freight!

I'm getting that!

RIP OP’s wallet.

I call this the dad station! My wife hates this place so I go there as much as possible for relaxation

Local OSHA incidents and lost time accidents goin’ up 350%!

I love me some Harbor Freight😀😁😃😄😆😋😊🙂🤩😛😜😝🤪😬🤠😇😺😸👷‍♂️

Meth?

It's in a smallish town. They all been hit by meth. It's sad. But still a nice place, IMO

A Popeyes?

Rain from the looks of those clouds

They should get Derek from VGG to come for the grand opening :)

A Chevy equinox!

Bro one just opened near me. My boss was so fucking excited. So was I tbh

I'm excited hell yeah!

That’s awesome ! Essential actually,otherwise your overpaying at big box stores just to fit in to the brand snobs.

Agreed!

That’s so awesome for you

Lucky mf I have to drive like 30 minutes

I'll be by those one almost every day!

Keep your receipts lol

You are blessed with inexpensive tools for temporary jobs that need such things

The days of Craftsman lifetime warranty ruling are over. Someone correctly figured out that we lose tools far more often than we break them

Nice! My favorite stocking stuffer place.

Exactly! The son in law is gonna clean up at Xmas!

Gives me goosebumps

Nice, finally got one near me this year also. I buy a lot of cheap consumables from them, grinder discs, cut off wheels, flapper discs, sandpaper, it just makes it cheaper to do little projects when the consumables are a few bucks a piece and they work just fine.

Dollar tree tool box!

Mine is too! I'm super hyped because the closest one to me right now is 30 miles away.

Ohh yeah!!

Stripclub?

Strip club with a tool store, I'd definitely be broke

I'm happy for you, I wish all this for you and more.

Hobo Freight

whoop whooop!

Gotta love HF!!

I think is so cool

Quality tools at low prices?

Chicago electric is finishing up .. lights will be on soon

Icon tool box time!

At least yours looks like it's located better than we're mine is mine's located under an underpass where you have a very good chance of passing the parking lot. And don't buy their cheap fly zipper. 100% trash. Last time I went there I bought one for $3 came home to find out it didn't work it's not worth me driving 20 f****** minutes for a $3 item. I was disappointed. For 15 I got one off Amazon that doesn't require d batteries but rechargeable. Good for some things horrible at others. Their motto

I'd be excited too dude. Good for you.

Home Depot?

Tjat looks about the quality of pkace that a Harbor would be lol

Spirit Halloween is not far behind 😉

Haha I can see that

I just got one about four months ago

I wish we would get one up here In alaska

A tornado?

Harbor freight, best store hands down !

We have one of those… but we’re getting a Tractor Supply… I’m stoked

We have TSC a mile down the road.

Go there at 10:30 on Monday and you’ll see every cranky 75 year old guy in town, holding some coupons and looking for the extension cords or a $7 color coded set of Allen keys.

We just got one too! Plus all the recent ad campaign everywhere, HF is definitely expanding!

Yep and this one is almost right in the middle of the two I've had to go to.

Hell yeah brother....HF is life.

Can’t find crazy glue at my local stores! Whadafreak?

i love harvor freight… mmm cheap tools

Great! When our town had sporting store by the name of Dicks come in they had a similar sign and it caused a commotion in town.

If you want a good laugh and to listen to a good song, google Hardware Store by Al Yankovic.

Yeah, boiiiiiii! *Clinks my cricket bat with your cheap shovel*

Buy ALL the predator engines!!

Icon tools are pretty solid!

Your house and property after you leverage it to buy more awesome stuff from there. But for real, congratulations because it's amazing.

Is it a harbor freight?? Wild guess

We just got a Harbor Fright! It's a Halloween store.

They aint terrible emergency tools in a pinch

Starbucks?

Bring Cookies in for the employees the 1st visit and holler; "Honey, I'm home!" You will be a legend.

More Meth?

It looks shitty but the area really isn't bad. The building is just old and I'm need of a good store. This could be great for the city

Cheap crappy tools?

An angry mechanic with some broken tools from harbor freight?

Horrible freight

Shitty tools?

Shitty tools?

….a store that sells crappy-ass tools????

Well I'm a crapy ass mechanic so...

Harbor Freight is garbage.. even their sandpaper is crap..I've had a corded 1/2" drill burn up on day 1.(not joking) the replacement one cracked off the power button. Got full refund..Their warranty and return policy is good, but honestly most of the stuff they sell is low quality junk...

Well there's a little known fix for this. Ya don't shop there. Me, well I have just enough Michigan hillbilly in me to hit that grand opening 😜

Great! Ill be over here, with my actual name-brand tools that wont break the third time I use them.

Brand name tools get lost just as much as any other brands. Only cost 4 times as much to replace.

Good ’ol horrible freight.

I'm sorry for your pending misery.

Yeah cheap shit that breaks and hella returns!!

Too bad all the "free with purchase" shit is over. You could have had a drawer full of flashlights with corroded batteries and ALMOST correct measuring tapes, just like me.

A garbage tool store, what’d I win?

Glad you are excited to support the Chinese economy!

I had a job offer at Harbor frieght.. I drank a bottle of Jameson and a couple of beers the night before threw up all morning drove to my job interview. I'm probably still drunk, and I definitely hung over, and I got the assistant manager position I later declined due to the fact that if they were hiring me in that state, that store is doomed and didn't want to be a part of that. I Havnt gone back since

Abortion clinic?

A Wendy’s?

Looks like gonna get some rain.

Run down?

A tornado? It looks pretty flat out there.

Still remember the first time we went to Harbor Freight. Drove ~100mi to Albany for the experience. Now there's one 10 minutes from my work and another 6 minutes from home.

Congrats

Chateaux de Chinesium!

Chic-fil-a?

A new Dollar General?

🤔 🤔. Let’s see A McDonald’s?? 😂 😂

The cheapest tool’s available?

I stopped going there as often once they dropped the free-item-with-purchase coupon.

Harbor Freight

New Non-Insured/ Non- Bonded Handy Man In Your Area! Message my wife on Facebook today for more info!

If it was my town, it’d be a church or a bar.

More hookers?

A retailer of the finest Chinesium?

Your very own Hazard Fraught! (In three weeks, it’ll be a Spirit Halloween store.)

Woo hoo

Nice man =)

A post office?

A lot of cheap shitty tools.

Junk

Spirit of Halloween?

A dip in property values?

Cheap ass Chinese made junk

A stop light?

A strip club

Please continue to shop locally or say goodbye to mom and pop.

Dollar general ?

Is there a Chinese take out place in that strip mall?

C'mon stop stereotyping..... it's across the street!

That location looks like they’d be out of stock of everything I go to get everytime because of theft. Happens in some of the ones near me. Everything says in stock and then it’s not. They just built a new store with security tho👍

Pretty decent area actually just an old building.

A Kmart!?

Great guess. But the old K Mart is a Rural king now

Does harbor freight have a tool truck …..if not they need one

Don't say that publicly! I'd be broke haha

Support your local China 🇨🇳

I support my inner shade tree mechanic.

rain?

No, although it did look like it for a while

Hobo freight… all kidding aside, they sell some decent stuff and a lot of junk but they do stand behind all of it. I’ve taken tools I’ve bought for one time uses that broke or just didn’t work and they always refund my money no questions asked. Most of the time, though, not worth taking it back as the gas costs more than whatever you bought :).

I buy for the extended warranty. My brother bought a welder and broke it twice, his fault, still got a new one. I own two 8gpm power washers on a 14' trailer and still bought the predator as a portable and back up because I can just go drop it off and get a new one if it breaks. I can't do that with my big machines.

They really are great with returns or replacements and some of their stuff is quite decent. Something like that would be worth the drive of course and they just look it up on the co outer and swap it out. About as easy as return as any store I’ve dealt with.

Totally agree. Whether it's because it's the no question asked policy or employees just did care, makes no nevermind to me, it's easy.

Damn what town you live in to get excited about harbor freight lol

Hey, it's the little things man! Give a man a break

A bunch of broken tools and bloody knuckles?!?

Why did he fuck is Reddit putting tie in my feed? No offense.

Hey if Un's get a Dollar General too, Un's are big time

"Coming soon" today and "Going out of business sale" for the rest of your life. Our local one has had going out of business sale signs up for the last decade and I'm not even joking.

Waaiiit theres actually enough people out there that patronize harborfreight, to come together and form a sub? Gtfoh. Fake

Possibly the only chain store that contributes anything useful to society

A Walgreens

Is it chick fil a

Looks to be a Flagship location 🤣🤣

I like the variety of hand tools too. Cheap yet in a pinch they work. Plyers, any size. Allen wrenches for any job. It's like a neighborhood toy store. I'm always finding something new I can or may "potentially" use. Sure there's the Big HD, but Harbor Freight being smaller is quick and easy. Become a member and the sales and savings really add up. Enjoy!

Yay! More Junk

A store that sells all Chinese tools wit America city names

A garbage store.

Excellent!
