The O’keefe’s hand cream is a life saver! I worked at a warehouse dealing with HUGE cardboard boxes all day. I lost dexterity if I used gloves and my hands dried out so bad with cracking/splitting and general pain. O’keefe’s did wonders where soo many other supposed healing lotions were “ superior”. TIP- for the welding magnets: blow them clean with an air compressor blow nozzle. Use safety glasses!!! The 6” cross slide vise...don’t expect much. The vise part works decent 💁🏼‍♂️

I want to get back to reviewing again.

Hey on those Doyle electrician pliers/strippers. I been using them a few jobs a week since they released them(year?). Excellent pliers. Cutters are sized well and sharp. Needle tips of the pliers are showing a little wear but really really good for what I paid on a coupon long ago.

I’ve had great luck with those CEN tech fishing poles. I have the short set and the long set. I have broken a couple and ripped the eye end off them but really good for the money. I use them often each month.

Never bought it. I’ve spent thousands there like most of us. But, I’ll be returning to Home Depot for my cheaper tools.

There a better quality of cheap. Don't have to replace them as often.

I just became an ITC member for the first time this past December. I believe the deal was %15 off any item no exclusions, but %20 if you were an ITC member. This was the only time ITC seemed to mathematically work in my favor as I was buying some higher-priced Items and they were offering an additional $10 dollar gift card if you become an ITC member.

Exactly how u have to think about it. Most the people that complain Im betting were sold it at the register by an employee that over sold what it is

Those Quinn cutters are good I got those and put them in my fishing bag. They work good for cutting hooks when my nine year old daughter catches turtles

Thanks Brad, miss the Friday live shows. I am a woodworker and I have the Hercules sliding compound miter saw, love it. Straight out of the box, dead-on balls accurate. I have the Bauer planer, again, love it. And the bench-top lathe. Both quills line up perfectly. Love it too. I build small items right now and will be expanding to some furniture soon. Maybe I will start a channel and HF will sponsor me. I can dream right?

Brad is there a Northern Tool & Supply near you? I also shop them as well I see them as HF true competitor although the business model is night/day. The store does actually seems like the result of a HF/TSC offspring ( minus the livestock section )

Not near where i live but I do love that store. Thats my go to for welding supplies. I did a 2 part walk through video a while back

My CM buffer vibrates a lot. Overall I believe most people will at least break even on the ITC, especially if you buy the membership online and regularly shop at the store. However with the disappearance of monthly regular coupons including the twenty percent coupon, ITC may be a better value.

@BradsWorkbench

3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. Around oct last year I made the prediction that they were gonna start dwindling down normal coupons to entice people over to itc

As a mechanic that works close to a harbor freight, I shop at least once every 2 weeks. I also do a about of diy work at home, light metal and wood work and some home improvement. Along with a bit of auto body work including painting. I find the ITC worth while since I do shop frequently in a wide range of products. As for the high flow air gun, I have had it 2 weeks and used it a few times. Feels pretty good so far. Its only $15 not like it's a large investment if it disappoints.

The HFT coupon app I use only has three 20% off coupons left, 2 that expire on 2/5 and 1 that expires on 2/8. (Do you know of others that last longer?) Looks like (unless something changes in the next few days) your prognostications were right on target, and ITC might become MUCH more valuable sooner than later!

30 years ago that was most of the items in HF. I actually first became an ITC member back in 1996 when you could still buy DeWalt and other name brands tools. Even the Pittsburg sockets back then was rubbish. The old India made sockets nuts rounded off the sockets lol. I still have a few that I haven’t used yet. The others have been replaced by Pittsburgh Pro made in Taiwan. HF does replace them as back then they had same warranty today.

Do yourself a favor, both big box stores have a name brand butane torch for $30. It has several more tips, comes with solder, a tio cleaning sponge, a plastic case for everything plus, and a three year warranty. The warranty claim was a phone call and then trip to the store with a code for a brand new torch. They want the broken one back as well. Totally worth the extra $10. If the HF were all aluminum or $12, then it would be a deal.

I'm lookin' to buy the 2HP dust collector this week. I searched the app for the 20% off coupon and couldn't find it! i know you shared a photo at the end of this video but that expired on 2/5/21. I went to HF and asked them "hey, do you guys still do 20% off coupons" and they said "maybe once in a while but you should join the ITC". I told them I'm really looking for just a single big ticket item. They continued to push the ITC anyway. I said I'll wait until there's a 20% off coupon. I always thought HF 20% coupon is a constant in life... is this correct? If so, do you know where I can find one? If not, might you have any advice to get at least 20% off the 2HP Dust Collector (priced at $209 by me)? Thanks for doing this videos!

On occasion but they are in the middle of changing everything so hard to predict if they will continue to

Quinn has a much better socket set for vehicle 1/4,3/8,1/2” dr for like $34. Fits great under the seat. Yes I’m an David ITC member. However you have to buy the 2 year membership online to get the $10 gift card to almost get buy 1 year get 1 free year. I’ve used/tested many Doyle tools. The acetate screwdrivers are very good quality definitely pro grade. The diagonal cutters are great, the linesman pliers are not. SPECIAL NOTE ON DOYLE PLIERS they’re not much cheaper than Channellock pliers were talking $4-$5 on most the 369 CRFT linesman’s are $15 more than Doyle. The Doyle high leverage cable cutters are junk compared to Channellock 911 ( which are same price at Texas Tool Traders ) the Doyle bend with 4/0 AL cable however I bent my apprentices back with my Doyle Demo driver and they work perfect now.

@BradsWorkbench

3 жыл бұрын

You can get the $10 gift card with a 1 year membership. But yes you save a few more bucks going 2 year. Good call on the bigger quinn set. And youre right about doyle being close to channellock but that price gap widens quickly with the bigger sized channellocks. I actually showed the prices next to each other in my 1 year review of some doyle & quinn pliers. Thanks for watching 👍
