Today I wanted to look and review the top rated Gear from Harbor Freight on a budget. The thing with Harbor Freight is some times you can get something that will last longer than you expect and other times it fails very quickly.

Whelp, it's been 12 hours, so I came to the pinned comment to see how many things were still working. 😊

Jared - have you abandoned the whole house in-line water filter body with replaceable cartridge filter that you were recommending a couple of years ago? If so, why?

@brianwilliams3146 Ай бұрын

The harbor freight aluminum frame camp chairs are my favorite camp chairs; even though I own much more expensive ones.

@rolandsalazar9562 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the info Jared. You, in my book, have to be one of the most “likable” individuals on KZfaq. You’re honest, sincere and genuine. I love your content, video editing and general “real-life” information you provide to the camping & RV Community. Thanks again and God Bless you and the family on your travels 🙏🏼⛺️

I bought the tiny table in the beginning of the video on Amazon for 23$ and it came even more compact than the ones from the physical store

The $5 lantern. I take some aluminum foil and cover up half of it and redirect more light to the area that I want. Fyi

I made up a tool kit for our couple's camper with just about everything from HF. fuses, tape fasteners, multimeter, wire, clamps and a multi-tool all fit in a small tool box. Very handy.

LOL. NaCHO Daddy, what a genius name. NaCHO is the chemical formula for sodium citrate, which is what allows nacho cheese to become that lovely, runny texture that it's known for.

The bug zappers are great. I bought a 3 pack at Costco 5 years ago (Harbor Freight didn't have them back then), and they are still going strong. I hang them on my awning and use them instead of the awning light to keep the bugs away from the door. Never thought about bringing them inside, I am going to have to do that this season!

@AllAboutRVs Ай бұрын

Nice! Glad to know they have been working for you for so long.

We have done the same with the bug zappers inside. We have not, that I recall, have had issues with bugs when we sleep since doing so. We recommend it to everyone.

We use the water filter and the flashlight. I'd like to try the water pump...for water... and get the lanterns for grandkids. They LOVE having their own lights. The bug zapper in the camper would be nice. I spend a great deal of time smashing bugs on the ceiling before going to bed. Thanks for the ideas!

I picked up one of the Katchy bug batchers last year when my camper was invaded by fruit flies. It does a good job. Even managed to catch house flies and those dang biting buffalo gnats.

@rvgearandfar Ай бұрын

Whether you get them from Harbor Freight or Amazon those rubber wheel chocks should be standard equipment for all RVers. In fact if the big name that makes those plastic ones said "We know these suck and we're going to stop making them" I'd actually be more inclined to buy more of their products. The battery powered bug zapper is a nifty idea and I think the tactic to use it overnight to grab the bugs that follow you into the rig is a terrific application - curious to see if it lasts the summer.

@jackstitt1395 Ай бұрын

I have some of those rechargeable pull lights. So far so good they seem to work great and last a very long time in between charges if I don't use them. I am very interested in the bug zapper mainly for that reason of having it up and running inside the RV. I have a large corded one for the outside but it's not feasible obviously to bring inside. Great idea thanks!

@XLSLife Ай бұрын

I struggled with those lady beetles this year too. I vacuumed a few thousand out from between my slide seals before moving the slide in, at a couple of campsites. But no matter how well I got them out of every nook and cranny I could find, I'd still have at least 1 or 2 in the bathroom every morning, crawling around on the shower skylight wanting to get to the sun.

@davids.4760 Ай бұрын

I've had the bug zapper for over a year and used it regularly to kill off the bugs that manage to get inside the camper. Walmart sells the same device. It works very well for what I use it for

@dorcasowens8521 Ай бұрын

I had picked up a couple of the lanterns that pull up. I'm in Texas. We had an ice storm, freeze that took out the power for 6 days. These lanterns lasted the duration. I also keep one in my pick up and my bug out backpack. I would give them 10 stars. They are worth the money.

@FMTFXE22 Ай бұрын

Good video. What’s your thoughts on this? While driving, turn off the propane tank. Then plug in the AC 110 plug into a 12 volt to 110 volt inverter connected to the house battery ( that technically are being recharged by the engine alternator) thereby eliminating the chance of a propane fire. This would only be used while driving. Could run a generator but that burns extra gasoline. And if one have Solar, that too on a sunny drive will also keep the batteries charged/ topped off and the refrigerator running even at max if necessary.

@ShukenFlash Ай бұрын

My current favorite Harbor Freight tools are my extending ratchet and breaker bar. I have a nicer ratchet, but having the adjustable angle head and being able to extend it for extra leverage is nice.

@ShukenFlash Ай бұрын

I've got a box of those same gloves too. Great for if I have to work on anything greasy or deal with chemicals. I don't use them for dumping just because I have to really fight the twist locks sometimes and I've ripped thin rubber gloves before. I have a pair of waterproof vinyl gloves for that task that won't tear.

@steve_put_this_here Ай бұрын

I have all of these HF products for our RV except the tote, and couldn't agree more with the utility. Some of the most useful stuff comes up as freebies or steep discounts are the things like bungee cords, zip ties, and don't forget the little lights that double as road hazard lights - every RV'er should have a half dozen of those!

We have the table and like it. and it stands up really well to hold meals or drinks in the cup holders or a book or other items - like making smores at the campfire. We also have the black chocks and they do work better than the yellow plastic ones.

The bug zapper, don't have the HF one but almost exact duplicate from Ozark Trail (WM brand) it has served its purpose so far. Bought last summer when our rig was swarmed with mosquitos in the UP. Still working.

Finally, the bug zapper has made it to a store. I found one in a Walmart in east Texas about two years ago in a display that implied it was something they were testing. Haven't seen it since and have wanted to get another one. The bug zapper does work, and I use the light instead of a flashlight inside the house. Only thing different is mine is orange, not black. The one unhappy feature is that it takes hours to recharge, but I guess that's a good thing cause it means it has a large battery. I can confirm I get at least the 20 hours mentioned here.

@greglotz4296 Ай бұрын

Kewl stuff! Bug zapper that works and is rechargeable for under $15!?? Heading out to buy one today? Like the table but don’t need it, have the lights, and gloves, still a great vid, THANKS

@gwb8445 Ай бұрын

Those tent stakes are great. I use them for many things. Those little lights not so great. To put new batteries in you have to unscrew the back with small screwdriver.

@dreewarren3080 Ай бұрын

I don’t have one but have heard great things about their generators. Had one next to mine and we tested them. Both the 3500/4k. Theirs was quieter and ran longer on a tank of gas.

@AllAboutRVs Ай бұрын

Yes their generators are popular.

@btorr2945 Ай бұрын

On the pricier side; I use their solar panels. While I cannot attest to the latest models; the SAE connectors were crap, but since I needed MC4 anyway, I just replaced the SAE ones with the MC4’s Also have the 20 foot flagpole I am using as an antenna mast. I see they have gone up a bit. I bought mine a few years back on sale for under $60. currently $89.99)

Those oval led lights are awesome. I wait till they go on sale for a buck or when they are the free gift for stopping in. Get a dozen of them. One in each car, few in the camper, each person has one in house next to bed for power outages. Uses 3 aaa batteries and they last for hours. Really good light output.

@jimsjacob Ай бұрын

That little lantern was a life saver for us. Not in the RV, but on a trip to do some maintenance on the VRBO property. Tennessee storm blew in and knocked out all power. Turns out their power outages last days! The only light we had was that little lantern. At night, we had to huddle around it to play cribbage or chat. Complete darkness otherwise. Needless to say, candles were purchased and a bigger lantern. Lanterns! Bought a few of them….

When we disconnect to move on, I set it upside down to drain. Are they ok to dry out and reuse several times?? Only disagreement... Yes, I do want to kill every bug around me.
