I know of a few things from Harbor Freight that seem to be good. Here are a few that I do not know and was wondering if anyone has used them? I dont know if any of these are worth anything.

46752-1MPB Sanding Sponge 10-Pack $3.99
43060-1CXH Router Speed Control $19.99
05107-1CXH Steel Service Cart $39.99
98079-1CXH LED Open/ Closed Sign $39.99

40131-1CXH Air Hose Reel $39.99

Any of the Solar Panels (96350-1CXH, 96351-1CXH, 66369-1CXH)

Any of the Storehouse Hardware Packs

92046-1CXH Self-Centering Drill Press Jig $9.99
34706-1CXH 12" x 33 3/8" Wood Lathe $249.99
(I have heard good things about this machine and how it is identical to the JET besides color and made in the same factory)
42494-1CXH 10" Woodworking Vice $29.99
99782-1CXH Right Angle Miter Gauge $15.99
95912-1MPB Portable Winch $69.99

The winch or the lift is for a homemade shop elevator for materials to get to the second floor, they say 3000 LB Capacity and I think that should be plenty.

Anybody know about any of this or any Other Harbor Freight Steals or Any other Hidden Gold?

There are a few things that I steer clear of at HF. Any basic hand tools like wrench's, screw drivers, hammers and the like are a pretty good value. I have hydraulic jacks and stands, a 2-1/2 ton hydraulic press and an arbor press that have served me well. That said I would steer clear of any power equipment, I nor anyone I know has ever had any luck with any of their hand held or staionary power tools. You have to be real discriminating when it comes to HF, some things are a good value and others are plain junk, like their sandpaper.

Thanks for the heads up

I've often heard that their 2 HP dust collector with metal impeller is a good deal.

I think I would go with the grizzly before I go with the Harbor Freight Dust Collector

I have a Harbor Freight just down the road from my house and I have to say with that place you absolutely get what you pay for. Cheap Chinese crap.

I've quit shopping there completely. I'd rather by quality products made by Americans.
