I made a purchase early on when I had first purchased my Wen 12 by 18 inch variable speed bench top lathe. I didn't even bother to look at the size of the banjo tool rest holder dimensions which now knowing that was 1 inch in diameter. How ever I made a a mistake buy as I said well a couple of them the harbor freight lathe being one of them. I bought a set of 4 tool rests from Amazon. Come to find out they work and fit on my Delta lathe perfectly. So in the long run now I'm glad I bought them even though I had no idea 2 or three months ago that I was going to buy a delta. So the tool res- 4 replies

Anyone heard when the official black friday is for HF? I keep getting pelted with ads for 15% off everything this weekend. Puzzling since always 20% coupons, but i guess some things I don't buy are excluded and there is no count limit. Anyway, I saw an early ad leaked, but don't see what I was looking for in this week's blast.

I'm hoping this will hold the 380 some odd pounds of lathe. I just don't trust the flimsy metal but I guess it could be fairly sturdy ones the main body of the lathe is setting on it at least I hope it is. I'm not going to be lifting it by myself. I did notice that the main legs of the lathe itself were TOOO short for me to use so I cut down a couple of 2x4s to sit underneath the legs of the lathe and I will lock those into place. From there I will bolt the 2x4s into the concrete. I also plan on securing it to the wall some how maybe with a couple of 2x4s and drilling through the legs and

Noticed that HF has two new tool lines - Bauer and Hercules. I never did understand where all their other house brands fit in the hierarchy -- Chicago Pneumatic, Pittsburgh Forge, Pittsburgh Professional, Chicago Electric, Daytona, Portland, Bunker Hill, (am I seeing a pattern here?) Central Machinery, US General, Earthquake XT, Storehouse, Warrior, Hardy, Predator, Drill Master, etc. etc. etc. Why don't they just have a good, better and best, or in their case, crap, crapper, and crappiest? And why do they sometimes have two SKUs for the same tool - differ

The only ones of these I have are the F-clamps. I've been happy with them. I originally got a few as "leave-behinds" but find they work well. Had one where the handle slipped and they replaced it, no questions asked. I noted his comment about "the demise of American-made clamps" https://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/harbor-freight-clamps-one-year-later

I was in the library today looking at their wood working magazines. I was surprised that they are including Harbor Freight in their reviews. Their assessment of their palm sander was spot on. (not very good) I wonder how many look at a quality tool and the price, then say I'll get the HF solely on price. If the reviews are good, I'd think that way too. I have a hobby type shop and it wouldn't make much difference. However, when I buy major tools, I buy the good stuff

Harbor freight just came out with these. I hope they have a chuck that will hold things. I got a drill there years ago and the chuck would not stay tight https://www.harborfreight.com/20v-hypermax-lithium-12-in-drilldriver-kit-63531.html?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2817bauer&utm_source=1012&cid=mEmail_s1012_c2817bauer&sfid= -

Harbor Freight Tools, a national discount tool and equipment retailer, just settled a class action lawsuit which could get shoppers up to 30% back on all of their purchases. The suit was brought by Cleveland based Dworken & Bernstein over misleading sale prices. Harbor Freight was accused of advertising merchandise at a “sale” or “compare at” price, when those goods were never sold at a higher price. The settlement applies to goods purchased between April 8, 2011 and December 15, 2016. If you have itemized receipts, you can submit a claim for a minimum of 20 percent of the
