Default Harbor Freight Tools

just wandering if anyone else is addicted to that place? i've bought alot of stuff from there and am fairly pleased with the stuff i've bought.

i've bought a $12 automotive spray gun (i use it for primer) and it works well
i've bought a $39 HVLP automotive spray gun (used it for base / clear once) and was pleased with it
I've bought a set of cheap screwdrivers and they hold up very well
i had a 110V flux core wire welder gave to me from a friend from there and it works good too

i just bought today a 2 gun set of HVLP automotive spray guns that i'm gonna use on mt Ranger hopefully this week. if they work as good as the others then i'll have no complaints.

anyone else bought stuff from there and been satisfied or dissapointed?

Harbour Freight is ok - have been a few times and bought a couple of things.

We have a chain up North called Princess Auto - a bit better quality and much better selection. I spend too much time there.

I have to admit I spend a lot of time there too.
Heck. The Langley store is so close I could walk if I had to.

my buddys sata messed up on him, he used his HF gun, the same one you have, and rebuilt his sata with it. he says it sprays great for being a cheap gun.
