I Bought A Pallet of Harbor Freight Returns for $1,223.41
I bought another pallet of Harbor Freight tools to try and redeem myself after 2 years of awful return pallets. Will it be worth it though?

Is it just me, or does measuring and cutting wood just not work the same as measuring and cutting metal? I have no idea why I'm a competent human being when it comes to fabrication, but I can't keep shit straight, square, in size, etc. the moment the material becomes wood LOL.

@@RyTrapp0 i’ve done a little metal fab for balconies and a lot of carpentry for masonry and cutting has always been my thing. I’m not a super expert, but any particular portion of a piece of lumber is not necessarily uniform in density, so if you use metal logic, when you cut your cut comes out catty-Wompus. You kind of have to react to the wood when you’re doing a cut what with knots and stuff. This is how it seems to me anyway i’m sure someone’s about to start yelling at me

In my area there is a shop called the “Tool Library” and for a small yearly membership you can come check out tools and use them for projects and return back to the shop. Helpful if you need something random and don’t want to buy or don’t have the money to purchase tools. If you had something like that near or wanted to start one you could donate all this or use them to build your own similar shop program.

​@@gorak9000well, there seems to be quite a difference between the tool library that is described here, and a rental. For renting a tool, you pay per hour/day/week, usually quite substantial amounts. For most of the tools, if you would be renting them more than 2 or 3 times its quickly getting worth it to buy them rather than renting them. This library concept with a yearly membership fee sounds much more attractive not only for people who very occasionally need some tools, but also if you are renovating your own house for example. Just paying one amount a year to have access to a huge collection of every tool you might need seems quite cool. Even if you need the tool like 4 times a year, with such a library it might not be necessary to buy it yourself, it could really shape a situation where buying tools yourself is no longer the only sensible option from the point of a couple of uses a year. People could just only own the tools they actually use very frequently. And the rest could be shared. It would be much better for the environment too. If in a local area, 20 people who use a certain tool 4 times a year would not buy it but all share just one or two via the tool library, 18 or 19 tools just would never have to be made.

As someone who works at harbor frieght, we return anything and everything within 90 days, or 2 yrs if you buy the warranty. And a lot of the time, there's nothing wrong with them. Either the customer expected something out of it that the tool wasn't able to satisfy, or the customer didn't know what they were doing and got something wrong (or as he mentioned, the customer needed it for one thing and returned it afterwards). But it's used, so we can't put it back on the shelf. And then it gets sent to a warehouse, processed, and sent back to stores as open box/as is, or thrown out. Tons of things are perfectly fine, if not unused. There's currently a $45 dollar icon ratchet sitting on the return shelf at work and it's pristine, never used. But it has to be either sent to warehouse or discounted as open box (basically what he bought a shit ton of) at the store. Also, no we don't care if you oil anything daily. We don't even ask lol

I have one of those BATTERY CHARGERS. They will not operate until you connect cables to a battery that has at least a few volts of charge on it. It's a protection feature so it won't give a short circuit by touching the clamps together. So, it won't start charging (turn on) on a totally flat battery, which most chargers operate this same way these days. Online, they are not showing that model anymore. I think it sold for $49.99 retail, and sometimes sold on sale for $34.99... that is, if I remember correctly. Mine still works. I have used it about 10 times as I use some old car batteries for CB base station power.. and, occasionally, my wife has left an accessory plugged into the car cigarette lighter plug.. like the dash cam, and didn't drive the car for a week.

the 4 1/2 inch saw is a godsend for tilework. they are not made for woodwork even trhough you can get a wood blade. put a diamond blade on it and you can do wonders with remodels and tile work.

Spot on with the warranty/return policy. We run three different air compressors in our shop from Harbor Freight. They get the job done and we have been swapping them every 1.5 - 2 years for a decade.

When i worked in a metal shop, i used those pneumatic sanders all the time. We built furniture.

Pneumatic dual action sanders walk all over any electric sander. It's not even close. But you need a monster air compressor to run a pneumatic DA. They use a ton of CFM. You go to a body shop and they use air DAs.

I've heard the Harbor Freight Earthquake impact is pretty powerful. In this video it sounded to me like it had some zip to it.

It's never fully broken until I try and fix it, then it's either fixed...or in lots of small and possibly broken parts never to be reassembled ever again. But I still learned how it worked!

I've been right with you going down that route. I'd have those battery chargers all apart seeing what's the matter with them. I learned my lesson with them. I'll only buy dumb chargers now. None of this auto shut off nonsense. Because that's the stuff that fails.

@@1pcfredWhen I see a circuit board inside my chances of repair go way down. Continuity testing or looking for bulging capacitors is pretty much my limit with electrical testing. It's great fixing something which just needed some oil or CA glue when someone was just tossing it.

@@zloki83 I am somewhat versed in electronics. Yet there's still plenty that for a variety of reasons I'm not going to be able to repair. Continuity testing or swapping caps can fix a fair number of faults. Going much past that usually isn't worth it.

All i can say is keep this content up! I enjoy both of your channels but i really like this one! I am starting my woodworking hobby and my Adventure! I got a few cheap tools. I got a hand wood plane and some chisels and a circular saw. My next step is to build a workbench. I have been holding my wood down with my hands while i plane. The cheapest way i can figure this out is to do an MDF top with dog holes and buy an amazon dog hole kit for 25 bucks.

I love numatic tools. Never new there were numatic drill and impact guns untill I started cabnet making... and no battery tool can compare to sending a screw to deep in .1 of a second. Cos you pulled the trigger to 100% and the sound is amazing.
