Bought a welding cart a couple of weeks ago for the cheap flux core welder I bought a few days before. I've had much more expensive welders in the past but needed to weld some fender flare brackets and was very pleased with how good that welder worked. I usually hit up HF a couple times a month for disposable gloves, free flashlights and other random stuff.

I have had terrible luck with there tools which is good because it pushes me to buy older quality tools. Now, I usually by from there if I only plan to use it a couple times.
I am however looking forward to buying their new Doyle line of tools and a 55" or 72" tool box. |

The little racing jack they have is a sweet little number. Very light and easy to carry around. Gets under real low cars. Doesn’t take much space either. No telling how durable it is.

3 pages in I expected to see more hate for HF...If you know how to weed out the junk there's some good shit at HF. Also a lot of junk. Last thing I bought was the little 2 1/2" swivel table vise. Works just fine for it's purpose. I did take it apart and clean it up then re-lube it.

Gravity Feed Spot Blaster and 25#s of glass bead media. Cheap gun but it works fine for blasting small parts when you don't want to have to change media in a cabinet. It doesn't work well at all for course irregular grit without opening up the hopper feed hole but I only use it for the glass beads.

Foldable Aluminum Sports Chair It's great and much better than the typical folding camping chair. They sit much higher, so egress is easier for me since I have bad knees. The little folding table is handy too. |

And I am sure if people were dropping dead because the jack stands failed you were using jackstands right.
Anyways if the jacks were failing you would see posts all over the place about it. Its really fine if you want to pay for top of the line tools you don't need to justify not getting HF stuff. |

I understand that it would be highly unlikely to kill me since I use jack stands. I’d just prefer to use a jack from a place that has a better track record than HF. I like a lot of their stuff, but it has had a much higher failure rate than stuff from other places. Quote HistoryQuoted:

HF needs a "list".
They probably have 20-30 must-have's/just-as-good-as-the-box trucks by now. I don't like buying cheap junk but when I see 10 reviews done by people I trust saying that the HF ______ is a good tool, I buy it (if I need it). |

You guys are missing out if you don't consider the Daytona line of floor Jack's. I got one last year. It's pretty great. I also have a 15yo 1.5 ton aluminum one that is still going strong.

My current jack works fine and likely will for a long time, but if it failed HF would be one of the most likely places I would buy a replacement so I'd like to know about these killer jacks before I somehow become a victim. |

My last HF purchase needs to be updated now. I stopped by on the way home from work and picked up a hammer drill (see below) and bits because of this thread. The plan is to use it to drill holes to anchor the tool boxes I picked up in my previous post/HF visit. There were a few other things I was going to pick up but decided to wait. It gives me another excuse to go by there.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to make a joke about HF jacks or any other tools. It’s kind of like the Ford/Chevy/Dodge thing. I highly doubt anyone on any side actually believes most of what the say about the other two. It’s ok dude. Most people, including me, get by just fine with most HF stuff. I joke about my other HF stuff too. I joke about the “heavy duty” pry bar that was about as tough as an over-cooked noodle and the reciprocating saw that has been great. |
