I actually spend more money at HF than my husband. Like you said, if something is marketed towards crafters, there is a huge markup. The only downside is, they are not as pretty than the same products sold at craft stores. The magnetic trays are a huge plus for crafting and sewing. The magnetic wand is great to pick up dies or pins that fall to the floor. Basically, im old and don't want to bend over to pick them up.

I had not seen the fuse tool at HF, now I'll need to go back. But you missed one of the Best deals for crafters in there. They have a tweezer set that is under $10. There's 5 or 6 in the pack, very long handles with different styles in the pack like the reverse tweezers. Great for heat embossing small pieces paper or holding small stickers up to a project while deciding exactly where you want it without your hand blocking the view. TFS

I purchased a shower grip safety handle, at HF, to use as a ruler safety handle. I saw one at my LQS, that was pink and purple, but at more than 3 times the price of the white and blue one at HF. So many awesome buys and storage items at HF. They also have rotary blades. They do dull a bit faster, maybe, than the ones marketed for quilters, but at the huge price difference, you’ll still save money. I also bought 2- 4’, very sturdy, metal ruler at HF. They are invaluable for squaring up large quilts and with a smaller suction cup handle, also from HF, can be used for cutting larger widths of fabric.

I use the round carpet cutting blades for cutting quilting material. They fit on my rotary cutter just perfectly! And when they get dull, I have a sharpener for rotary blades. They have lots of plastic storage - I use the clear storage container that comes with the clear individual bins with attached lids-I think there are 30 of them. Works great for Diamond Dots or beads. You just have to “think outside of the box” for other great uses .

I bought two Craftsman tool cabinets with castors from a resale shop, done some sanding then repainted them, put a 32”x80” interior door from another resale shop. I only have $60.00 invested in her craft table, one tool box on the right, the other on the left. The door is the top, she’s happier than if would’ve bought new boxes plus she has more $ to spend on supplies. One of her go to stores is Hobby Lobby, cheaper than JoAnns. Keep on Crafting

I go to HF and other tool/hardware /home improvement stores with my fiance quite often. He loves showing me all the things there that are useful to crafter's . Everytime I see one of the tool boxes with the wooden worktop, I tell him I'm going to need at least one of them. One for crafting and another as an island in the kitchen ☺️ I do have a few of the other items you featured in this video. And I did get one of the mini engravers for $10 but have yet to try it out. He took me to HF a couple days ago to show me the mini table saw I've been wanting. He would have bought it for me right then & there but I told him it wasn't necessary, plus he has already gotten me a jig saw, cut off tool, Dremel, and a few other power tools! 😁 Thanks for sharing!

I like the long magnetic bendable tool with a light on the end which is great for locating and picking up pins, clips, etc. I also use the different sizes (round and other) glass suction cups on quilting rulers as a safety measure when using rotary cutters. I use the heavy-duty wooden counter top tool boxes to store several notions, etc. I buy canvas drop cloths for inexpensive canvas fabric for sewing tote bags, etc. I keep several sizes of zip ties for many uses - including attaching certain odd items onto pegboards. I really like the different sizes of wheeled wooden trolleys for placing under certain furniture, storage chests, etc., so that I can roll them close to my work area on different projects. I purchase inexpensive metal retractable measuring tapes for making squeeze-clamping closure bags such as cosmetic bags and eyeglass cases. I also use the different sizes of magnetic bowls, various storage containers and toolboxes, assortment of picks, clamps, etc. I buy several of the different sizes of lights and flashlights for extra (and emergency) light when needed.

I enjoy visiting Harbor Freight because of the prices for very similar products to what you’d find at a big box craft store. Oddly enough the HF near me has this item that is mean to suction onto the wall to make the shower safer or make it easier to get out of the bathtub but I’ve seen a similar product sold to suction to a long ruler for QUILTERS to create a stable way to hold the ruler while cutting! The magnetic bowls would also be perfect for quilters, I use one to hold pins. I’ve even used some of the fabric tool bags to hold supplies for travel before. There are always so many fun ideas in that store! (And yesterday I saw a really cool hand crank adjustable table at Home Depot with two shallow drawers and I thought it would be so awesome in a craft space) Thanks for sharing these ideas! Oh my dad had a corded micro engraver when I was little, he used to to put my name on things like a calculator or something that might get a lot of handling and marker could easily run off. The cordless one is a cool idea!
