I've gotta say... I'm pretty happy with these #HarborFreight #Bauer modular toolboxes I picked up today. I've got about 80% of my tools in them now. This is heaps better than my old Rubbermaid totes that I'm amazed I never got a hernia lifting. I can lift each of these individually and they're all an acceptable weight.

The plan is to take them with me in my #Toyota #Tacoma #Truck when I'm going somewhere a bit more spicy than the mall.

I ordered several more because the local store is out.

I'm thinking more about #ToolStorage today. I've got a lot of tools that I like to take with me when 4x4ing in my #Tacoma. In the past I used tool rolls but they kinda suck for day-to-day use. There's a sale at #HarborFreight on a rolling tool cart meant for the garage but then I wouldn't have my tools with me in the truck.

The PackOut-style systems are interesting but how do I actually hold tools in them without them being a jumbled mess? And so they don't rattle constantly?

Okay, I need to find whoever decided that bolts for this trailer's hitch plate should have a 16mm head, and a 17mm NUT on the bottom (you know, ehre it's hard to see). Took me 15 minutes to realize the sizes were different. Fortunately, got everything loose, but sheesh Harbor Freight Or Whomever, that was irritating.

I never really shopped at #HarborFreight before even though there’s one not too far from me, but since going there recently I’ve been quite interested to see what they have in stock and on sale. They have random shrapnel like LED flashlights, shop towels, flathead screwdrivers, tape measures and AA batteries for super cheap, like 99c. I’m absolutely NOT a handyman but some of this shit is making my wallet get a weird semi-on. https://www.harborfreight.com/coupons#DealsAlert

Well dang. Project today was to swap out the hitch on the old trailer and put a new plate on. YYyyyeah, that's not going to happen. That upper plate is compeltely shot. Ordered a new one from harborfreight. $16. Can't complain too much.

So, I bought this magnetic cup holder on sale at Harbor freight Tools the other day. It's a metal cup-holder with powerful magnets on the back so you can stick it to a metal workbench, toolbox, shelf, or other. Simple right. But the box it came in has this dire looking list of warnings, starting out with, "1. Wear ANSI approved safety goggles during use."
FOR A CUP HOLDER...

$44 at #harborfreight
Had I had this two days ago, I wouldn't have limped my car 3 miles @ 40 mph on a hwy speed limit of 65 at rush hour.

Now I have one set of these for both cars.

So I finally bought a #HeatPump for the back yard shed. It’s a little one - the space is pretty small. I wanted to do this years ago, but the industry dragged its damned feet catching up with the science.

Intent is to DIY it. But the instructions say I need some tools I don’t have. #ManifoldGauge set & #VacuumPump

Maybe I’ll DIY all but the final steps, then hire that last bit.

Or maybe the cheapest #HarborFreight set will be cheaper than the labor cost.

What did you do on yours, Fedi-folk?

Any other Harbor Freight addicts out here on the IndieWeb? #tools #harborfreight

I really do.

The millennial urge to put cheap #HarborFreight lights on everything is strong today

Look what I found at the hardware store!
"Honey, hand me the 13mm wrench. The pink one! The pink one!"
No. I didn't buy them. I thought about it tho

As any #mechanic can tell you, there are special tools that you pay far too much money for, and then there are "special" tools that you paid far too little money for. Thanks #HarborFreight!

Harbor Freight e-mailed me a coupon book chock-full of super aggressive #Christmas messaging so I unsubscribed. Hopefully they see a noticeable bump in quits and tone it down next year.

Let the #WarOnChristmas begin!

Spam: Harbor Freight says complete this survey and get 170-piece Stanley tool set.

Of course, every #HarborFreight fan knows they don't stock Stanley brand.
